Our coach looks like he’s been on a bender all week in Vegas

Maybe we should’ve had one of the assistants who actually knows what he’s doing running the SL team?

Also yeah, it’s so over for MarJon.

Marjon and Smith have been pretty terrible. It looks like we are trying to funnel people to Smith defensively and I haven't even seen him affect shots. He is a brick house offensively. I just want to watch Livingston/Johnson 2 man game. Livingston actually rolls correctly. Why is he standing in the corners?

Yeah yeah, "it's Summer League" and all that, but this is kind of what a bottom-5 draft and development franchise looks like. Just a bunch of semi-talented late round picks thrown together with no structure, plan, or assignment of roles. Just give AJ Magic the ball every possession. At least we might be able to luck into a good young player cuz talent, because it sure as hell isn't gonna be due to the organization "developing" him.

Exactly. We should not be watching bums get theirs when we have developmental players on the roster. We should also be forming a roster that can actually play basketball. We should not get absolutely **** on by any team with effective bigs. You have to be able to match up.Vin Baker Jr being on the roster as a big getting minutes is sad.

Johnson and Livingston should be running offense. If anyone should be in the corner it should be Tyler Smith.

Wong is also just for free cooking Tyty.

This Isaiah Wong looks like a player. I would take him over TyTy.

Margarine is terrible. Just terrible.

Kid got $7.7 million total over three years. He’ll be ok.

One thing I like about AJ is his ability to use screens on offense. He usually makes the right reads. Run P&R’s with Livingston all day. Livingston actually knows how to move off ball, cut, and roll off screens.

Everyone besides Rollins, who can create some of his own shots, can’t run a functional offense.

Is the North Las Vegas High School Visual Arts team announcing this game?

Balls2TheWalls · Post #852 » by **Balls2TheWalls** » Fri Jul 19, 2024 8:42 pm

This announcing team is Like the D minus team. Horrendous.

Year 2 Giannis + Jabari is the last time I remember enjoying our SL team. Bucks always make a point of making their SL teams so poorly coached that it's offensive. Yeah its a bad environment for coaching, but this is pretty offensive for anyone who spends their time to watch

Balls2TheWalls · Post #854 » by **Balls2TheWalls** » Fri Jul 19, 2024 8:44 pm

Any 2 man offense run with Livingston has been effective. He seems like an ideal pick man. We keep running weird stuff.

Balls2TheWalls · Post #855 » by **Balls2TheWalls** » Fri Jul 19, 2024 8:46 pm

AJ got caught ball watching defensively. Not rotating back to his man. However, the defense looks notably better with Badji on the court.

Livingston is a keeper

Read on Twitter

Pretty much how I feel.

No coming back from this for Marjon, confidence is nuked. Get whatever you possibly can

Everyone else can watch this film also. He has to be cut, I think.

It's an afterthought in general for the franchise, and it's a public embarrassment every year, though little noticed and quickly forgotten. It is crazy, though, that we've got a kid who couldn't get on the court on the Horizon League as a 6th year senior playing consistent minutes for this squad just because pops is coaching.

This is just a terrible, non-competitive way to start your pro career.
