Jackson should find minutes. He makes too many high IQ plays, minus scoring the ball.

Honestly his passing has been pretty meh. He might be making the right decision, but everything is thrown at 90MPH and it has led to them not being successful. His defensive play has been great.

Challenge for AJJ is that chase down blocks as your elite skill isn’t crazy valuable. Entertaining yes. Playing time on a contender? No.

Yea, he doesn't look playable IMO. Love the hustle and the defense, but he's no where close to being able to play on the other end of the court in the NBA.

AJJ makes the right read and pass as soon as he catches the ball. It’ll look different when it’s going to Giannis rather than Tacko Fall.

Mannion and Fall need to never play again. Really dumb giving them any run.

My only explanation is it's summer league and they don't want to risk injury to players they actually care about.

Few things...

1. Gort Schroeder needs as much play time as possible. We literally have no one like him on our roster... He can actually dribble the ball play solid D and shoot. He needs to work on playmaking and setting the team up efficiently.

2. Andre3000's D is actually suffocating, his hustle plays and offensive rebounds are playoff level. Passing is a shtikel reckless but it's there. His shooting on the other hand... Agh no comment.

3. Livingston has role player capability. He needs to watch as much Wes tape as possible. His rebounding is solid and will come in handy.

4. Marjon stepping up to the plate is awesome, love the creative strong ways he gets to the basket. He still needs to refine his game, handles still to sloppy, shot needs to reach Patty level.

Does Dort have a chance at roster spot?

AJJ is going to be everything Thanasis aspired to be. Darvin Ham-esque

My son's name is also Nort.

I think people are wrong about AJJ not getting any playing time. You have a defensive minded coach.

Then it's gonna be on Stotts to come up with a way to make him not useless on offense.

It feels weird having multiple young, athletic, intriguing players on the roster lol.

An absolute crime against humanity to let Nico Mannion run the offense into the ground while AJJ doesn't touch the ball for like, 5 straight possessions. Again, no idea why they think Jackson can ever be useful if he isn't playing point.

Success for the SL was Marshawn making a jump and for at least one guy to show promise. That's happening.

AJJ is a player but the question is when. Fishsticks is an NBA guy. I don't know about Livingston or Omari at this point.

Not nuts about Mannion, but as a few others have said, at least he can offer legit SL pg play. Without him, might not know what the viability of some guys.

MarJon was really good today. Encouraging stuff. If he's a quality NBA player this year, that really brightens our outlook.
