Shout out to Lalanne and Umass! I don't think the Spurs can hang with us.. depends how many mins for 7/11... I think Jackson redeems himself... No way he plays that poorly again.. He played well in Maine last year

Game Preview: Spurs vs Celtics, Utah Summer League

https://www.poundingtherock.com/2017/7/5/15923048/game-preview-san-antonio-spurs-boston-celtics-utah-summer-league

(Spurs) PLAYERS TO WATCH

Derrick White

The Spurs’ first round pick and 29th overall scored 13 points in his Summer League debut to lead the team. Look for White to unpack the full array of his offensive weaponry as he becomes more comfortable wearing silver and black.

Dejounte Murray

Watch as Murray learns to throw his weight around, literally. With at least 5 pounds of new muscle in his upper body since the playoffs, last year’s 29th overall pick in the draft seeks to be a force on both sides of the ball.

Davis Bertans

Looking for that consistent stroke from 3. If he finds it…

Bryn Forbes

Yes, shooters shoot but can Forbes find 4 quarter consistency?

Jaron Blossomgame

Will this year’s 2nd round pick find the bottom of the net after going 0 for 8 in his debut?

Livio Jean-Charles

This might be Livio’s best chance to show that he can really contribute to the Spurs’ 17-man roster. Can he create his own shot? What’s his range? Defense? Offensive Rebounding? Something needs to be above the mean.

7/11 are going to be dunking all over the place again.

I'm guessing Jaylen and Tatum will bring the ball up a lot more this game, DJax is gonna struggle hard against Dejounte

Hoping to see Zizic not get beat down the floor as much. Hope to see Jaylen continue to show & prove but reign it in just a tad with the reckless handles. Feels good to be a C's fan right now watching 7/11 play and feeling like the future's so bright, at the same time landing Hayward yesterday to add to a ECF core. Fire Danny!

Zizic just looks gassed from playing in two leagues this year, most of his career and then flying over here shortly after and assimilating. He needs to stretch and do cardio and take a little break after summer league.

I thought Jaylens handles looked much better on the break than they did during the season, I bet once the game slows down for him a little more that it will translate to in the halfcourt.

Let's go!!!!

LobCityRondo2KG · Post #15 » by **LobCityRondo2KG** » Wed Jul 5, 2017 8:19 pm

I agree.. Brown was able to create off the dribble many times.. Him and Tatum on the break with Hayward (drools)

Baller1234a · Post #16 » by **Baller1234a** » Wed Jul 5, 2017 8:22 pm

Is Djax still starting?

Oh yeah, I definitely agree --- he's still got miles to go with it though. I'm quibbling, I know but I just want Jaylen to be good so badly. I think he's a great kid, smart, great head on his shoulders, easy for me to root for him for the next handful of years.

I also selfishly want to be proven right for stating that I wanted us to draft him or Jamal Murray before we made the pick, then me having to try to explain to all of my Celtics fan friends why not to jump off a ledge because we didn't take Heild.

7/11 Let's go

Bob Bentil is playing! Seriously though, curious to see Dejounte Murray and Blossinggame.
