Kon's performance has been the only sore thumb of this game, and with that being said it's not like it's the worse summer league game ever. Just kinda looks like summerleague George Niang out here.

Liam was very Hayward esque, even some of his paint stuff. Needs to add some bulk but very encouraging game.

Kon just looked stressed and rushed everything.

Kalk was kinda average, he is in the right places and makes the right reads but he is very weak even compared to someone like Filipowski and gets knocked off balance too easily

Salaun is totally random. He's like Mr. Game and Watch from Smash Brothers where you just got to hope he throws out a 9 when he makes a play

This is about spot on.

Edit: Simpson looked great as well.

Awesome to see practically the whole team cheering them on court side. I still can't help but feel bad lockeroom isn't the crux of our problem.

McNeely looking like he could back up Miller at the 3 sooner then later. Salaun looked the best ive ever seen him. If he can keep up with performances like this this summer league he might win me over, its gonna take alot but today was a big step. But fn a man...McNeely looking nice! Kon will find his footing.

I think if we hustle, listen to our coach, train, stay positive, eat healthy, sellout the arena, and if we play our A game, we can win 2 maybe even 3 games this season.

In a role player, which Salaun projects to be, that variability is not at all a good thing imo.

LIAM LOOKS LIKE A STEAL

WE'RE SET AT CENTER


does it go both ways or


I think Kons been abysmal today. We are definitely not set at center. Liam looks good.

Kalk got bullied. Sanago for jazz looked like a man amongst boys

You view McNeeley as a wing?

No real complaints. Kon will shoot better and McNeely looked good for the most part. Salaun looks like he actually worked on what he needed to.

Just finished the replay

Kon played worse than his box score. He was getting cooked in 1v1. What a tragic waste of an opportunity to get some talent

Yeah this is just like when we inexplicably passed on Tari Eason and he was everything we needed and showed us immediately in like the first SL game lol

Oh well, it is what it is
