I think it's most valuable giving rooks an easing into the pros. So good if you can give your rooks big minutes--against Miami's 26yos.

So, we have at least 10 to about 14, so far?
It's shaping up nicely.

Any info on what channels are airing the Games?

Between Scheierman, Lofton and Amari Williams that’s some pretty good ball movement out of the non-PG spots.

If JDD doesn’t play I’m guessing Shulga runs the point.

Or he could play in the backcourt with Scheierman as the real point.

Let Walsh get unleashed as well with his clock ticking, potentially.

Need that NBA Game fix. Anxious to see the Summer League in general, and our prospects in particular.

So it sounds like he's got the strongest commitment of the SL invitees so far.

But here's some fun with anthro measurements:

At 6'6.75", he came in 1/2" taller than Hugo at the combine.

But Hugo weighs almost 10 pounds more than he did, of course has the larger hands, and his wingspan is 3/4ths of an inch longer.

Hugo's standing reach is 8'8.5" to his 8'9".

He wasn't too impressive in any of the strength and agility measurements, but Hugo passed on all but 2 of those tests:

Hugo was 10.91 in the lane agility to his 11.4. However Hugo was also 3.27 in the 3/4 sprint to his 3.16.

I don't know what idiots booted it up a week, but it should have started July 5th. Now, we have to wait until July 11th for the first Celtics game...

Good flier to take.

He might not make it (which is the case for all SL/training camp invitees) but if he hits, he's the next Torrey Craig..

He's a nice pick up to look at, only played few minutes in PHX.

And, he's the perfect combination of Mikal Bridges, Miles Bridges, and 9 or 10 current NBA players named some variation of Jalen.

We need that, now more than ever.

Is no one talking about this?





Hayden Gray was named Defensive Player of the Year in his conference.
Gray averaged 11.2 points, 3.3 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game last season, shooting 47.9% from the field and 41.8% from three. Most impressively, he averaged 3.1 steals per game.

This dude just stole the ball as I was posting this.

I really like that he is not ball dominant, doesn't need the ball constantly in his hands to impact the game, looks to move it, quick decisions

What if Kenny Loften Jr makes the team? I think he has a chance of getting back in the league. He Australians can do wonders for him.

You're sure he's not Mike Sweetney 2.0?
