Is it too soon to call Cody Williams a bust? He is the most invisible young player I've ever seen.

Piston fans have gotta like Ron Holland waxing everyone, summer league notwithstanding. Him taking a step forward would be pretty clutch considering the pieces lost.

Bufkin is a hooper but I don't expect him to ever stay healthy at this point. Too many random injuries.

Salaun vs Filipowski has been a little chippy and very enjoyable

McNeeley has been impressive

Knueppel looks really outmatched athletically against opposing wings and guards.

As others have stated - he was drafted only because of his brother. He did have a good HS career but he was trash in college. Ace Bailey got a bad rap and Williams was 10 fold worse. I actually believe he’s the worst player in nba history

Kon just has first game Knerves.

But yeah, he should go talk to Scalabrine about what it’s going to take to play adequate defense with his physical profile. It can be done, but it’s gonna take a lot of studying, a lot of discipline, and a lot of reps.

Filipowski crushed this game. He is ready to be a contributor in the real league for sure

Overreaction from a single summer league game:
Charlotte whiffed on Kon, but they got a really good player in McNeeley so it's a wash
