Imagine a team of Anthony Black, Jett Howard, Caleb Houstan, and a bunch of animals throwing their feces all over the place. Now imagine the feces throwing ones took all the shots and didn’t pass.

Overall:

Black displayed great instincts, passing, and defense but shot more and it did not look good (unsurprisingly). No turnovers.

Jett Howard looked solid and displayed better than advertised passing, athleticism and defense. His shot looks flat (no arc) but he seems like he can get a lot better if he gets coached up.

Caleb Houstan disappeared in the first half, which was troubling because you would have hoped he used this as an audition to show he improved. He had a better second half and actually took shots other than three pointers for once. He needs to do more of that to have any chance of getting consistent playing time.

The rest is best forgotten.

We might have drafted 2 busts.

Meh, they just look so underwhelming. So many guys look more impressive who were drafted after them.

Maybe to you, you can see what these guys can bring to the table.... Its going to take work but these guys are supposed to be contributors not alphas.... We already have that position filled and then some.... These guys are going to help the team, can't wait to see them play with some real talent

Besides Keyonte's scoring and Cason having a career night in threes .. Lively/Dick has underwhelmed, Hawkins hasn't shot the three that great or free throws great/isn't dribbling much, Jarace has been solid but shot bad the first game, Bufkin is turnover prone and shooting like 19 times a game lol, Jaquez had one amazing game and one stinker.. JHS too.. BPod is having big stat games but shooting bad. Leonard Miller has been solid.

2/3rds of these guys were not in play at all and everybody else has had up and down games.. pretty much in line to what our rookies have done. Black was the only one to shoot better than 50% in the top 10 his first game now he looks like a bust? Come on lol.

AB’s game doesn’t really jive with this type of unstructured play. I think he’s going to be similar to Franz in that sense. I mean look who he’s on the floor with. Nobody can do anything with that lot.
Campbell looks like they lobbed of Bob Marley’s head and glued to it Kevin Harts body.

Agreed he's going to look so much better with talent and an actual system... One thing for sure he plays hard as hell, high motor.... You could see him getting pissed that he was one of few players rebounding

Cam Whitmore = stud

Heck GG Jackson, even Emoni Bates have looked good and they only would have cost a 2nd rounder.

I like Cam.. first game Houston fans were pissed though because Amen started getting visibly upset of him chucking and not playing team ball. That might slide in SL but in lineups with players.. his role is going to be way different.

2nd part,, of course I agree.. good 2nd rounders could be had but that's irrespective of our picks and more to do with the team building philosophy

Cam looks alright, GG Jackson and emoni hasn't passed the ball yet... Its summer league relax.... Its so crazy because we've been through this both ways... Franz had a horrible summer league but he's pretty good now..... Anybody remember "summer league" AG? He looked like one of the best in the league.... But when the real games started AG was the same Ole AG.... Can't get too hyped up or too low because it's summer league, you don't know what's real or not

20 000 facebook reactions, 16 000 of them are angry emoji .

6 300 comments. Probably 6298 are angry Philipino fans moaning and crying like it's nba finals.

Ok i finally looked for that OM FB page to see whats it all.about.

Wow... every post has been like #letkaiplay and Magic deserves to lose.

Ok i havent wanted to pull a player down as much as i want kai to do so. So all those posters would shut up. When we face the Knicks i want that fata$$ former Dukie 6'3 Keels to dunk on kai.
