One more week to go. But maybe some praising buzz out of their practices together this week?
I don't think he's in the US, is he? Not expecting him in SL

I hope all of that, except making the team this year. Let him develop off the contract clock one more year while we have Richardson and figure out what Romeo & Aaron are giving us.
I do, however, reserve the right to fully change this opinion based off 2-3 nice plays in SL.

Oh, 100%. I want him to stay in Europe for 1 (maybe 2) years.
Him playing in summer league is good for him to get the experience playing with some of his future teammates and going against NBA caliber competition and it's good for the team to get a better sense of what they have in this kid. Nothing more, nothing less.

this is cool interview to get to know Begarin as a person. The thing that I took away from this interview is that he is very focused and driven. He's very serious, not a joking kind of guy. I don't even think he smiles once during the whole interview.
He simply wants to work hard, be the best player he can be and play in the NBA. That's it. I'm rooting for him.

Yes, very serious (though the interviewer is too). What strikes me is how much more mature and his own man he sounds at 18 than JT does at 23, considering they both come from professional basketball families.
It sounded like this week's SL practice left him and Yam scrambling to play with the young NBA vets. Even Nesmith talked about the new terminology and system to try to learn. I hope Juhann and Yam can get on top of it and show their stuff well this week.
