Final Summer League thoughts

Strawther - hell yes
Alexander - hell yes
Hall - maybe
Jones - no earthly idea
Tyson - absolute no hoper
Pickett - whatever one rung below "absolute no hoper" is

Well, with Holmes going down, many would see this SL as a bit of a failure. However, seeing the development of Strawther as well as the emergence of Alexander, this looks like a a true success IMO. It also bring up quest why the rest of our 2nd years didn't take that next step also. Tyson had moments but Pickett regressed to the point he might get cut IMO. Rumors say Pickett was dealing with a strained groin ( when, during TC or the offseason ? ) but at the best case, he's G-League fodder right now in my eyes.

Alexander is the real surprise, didn't even have to extend a 2nd draft pick (fantastic, since we traded away most of them this offseason ). A LOT of potential, looks like a Jamal Murray-lite or a rich man's Monte Morris

From MHS:
"[Hunter Tyson had the] lowest FG% among all players to average at least 15 points per game and the third lowest among players to attempt at least 13 shots per game."

Biggest chucker in the whole Summer League. He's a negative value player. They should just cut both Pickett and Tyson and sign someone like Holiday or Jones or Walker.

Well, since both look like nothing more than G-League fodder, kinda moot discussing them IMO
