You guys watching this HOU-DET battle? Ivey is not a PG... what are those passes he tries to make?

Jabari looking like a changed man (in summer league)

I guess this means Jabari is off the bust watch.

Duren isn't as athletic as Dwight was

But he’s a better basketball player at the same age.

As i said no way Jarace is 6'8 watching the games... now I can say no way is Whitmore near 6'7 watching him matchup to Ausar

First, he was the third pick and looked to be a future quality starter so not sure how that would be a bust.
Second, it’s summer league.

Duren is better at basketball. Dwight was a top athlete in the NBA at any position.

If you're a 2nd year player and you look bad in Summer League, that's not a good sign.

2nd year guys should be the best guys on the court.

Facts, which leads me to Jaden ivey..... Looking too shaky against G-leaguers if he's a lead pg.... Some of his reads was kind of strange to me... I think he works better as an off guard

I'd rather my pick average 20 in the actual games :lol:

Good for Jabari though, got buried by everybody prematurely

Maybe offensively, but no where nearly the defensive monster Dwight was or shown early on. Duren will be good but he doesn't have the same explosiveness or quickness as Dwight

Dwight’s athleticism clearly separates them… even on defense… but Duren clearly processes the game better than Dwight at the same age IMO. He just doesn’t have Dwight’s explosiveness and quickness, and that matters, so we agree there.

Unless its by design. Like you are a PG like Fultz/Black and for your 2nd SL the coaching staff wants you to be a Dick/Steph type of shooter and not handle the ball at all.

That was painful watching Wemby hit the floor. I thought he was going to break.

Just to remind everybody of the quality of summer league... Boston-Washington leading scorer is Jay Scrubb, who we signed at the end of the year last season
