Summer League Game 2: Bucks/Cavs - 7/12/25 - 2:30 - NBATV/FDSWI

[Bernman]

Terrible defensive rotation by Bogie, then hand down shot goes down. Guy is not anywhere close to ready (if he'll ever be). Shouldn't even be a 2-way. Let him develop at Mega. It was good enough for Jokic.

I love Myles

He’s a really smart and grounded dude.

Is he saying anything today that will drive the Pacer fans over the edge?

[Chad34]

AJJ doesn’t even look like a defender out there

[soxperry]

Ahh well, Andre is already out the door and, much like AJ Johnson, Bogi will still have value as something to throw into a trade since hes so young.

And on the bright side of the Cormac thing, at least we dont have to make a tough decision with AJ Green anymore like the Thunder did with Harden. Now we simply supermax him and be done with it.

[Prez]

Yeah Andre just can't take up a roster spot this year. Wanted it to work out so badly but he just doesn't have it.

Hopefully Mega doesn’t pick up Lindell Wigginton to take away shots from Booger job

[Bernman]

Nowell's an awful pg. Can't get any separation or see/shoot over a defender. Don't get why he was on the team, especially when you had another mini 1 in Sears. That Sears injury hurt, though he may have had the problem to a lesser degree.

He was asked what he thought the reception would be when he returned and he said "a lot of them wanted me gone when I was there". And he talked again how he thought playing with Giannis gave him the best chance of returning to the Finals.

[rayallenscalves]

I can't believe anyone ever thought AJJ could ever be a PG. He's so inept with the ball in his hands.

Tyler Smith is a long-term homeless man's version of Tim Thomas. Rarely steps inside the 3-point line on either end and when he does he offers no value. Huge SL disappointment.

I can’t see a world where any of these guys actually make our opening night roster.

Nowell was the best playmaker in the G League last year. I doubt Sears ever has a G League season as good as Nowell had last year.

[ShootingtheJ]

I doubt they have AJJ play another Summer League game

AJJ was a very good playmaker in college but it hasn’t translated because the NBA game just seems slightly to fast for him and in college he was surrounded by talent that usually exceeded his opponent’s and had a coach that usually better than his opponent.

His in your face D has occasionally worked but it’s just as much backfired by him overplaying.

If he could bottle how he played SGA in the Cup Finals and give you that for 5-10mpg while simply consistently hitting corner threes, he’d be a useful 9th or 10th man on a playoff team.

Using him as a full time SG was always an awful idea. But that’s Doc for you.

That’s more a statement on Sears actual potential.

[Bernman]

I wish we'd traded Ajax & Smith before summer league. Horst always trades players at their lowest possible value. Acts like a reactionary fan.

[ShootingtheJ]

I hope those that were begging for Tyler Smith minutes on the Bucks last season were watching today. I'd ask them to wait until he's at least a good G League player, but they assured me that didn't matter.

It matters.

So what. It clearly doesn't translate above that level. Classic 4A guy. I'm almost sure Sears would be more functional an NBA player. And he probably won't be either. You unrealistically believe you're going to find mostly useful NBA players among 2-way guys you personally identify.

[MVP2110]

Livingston continues to look good. The rest of the summer Bucks, not so much

Their trade value hasn't changed. They had none 3 days ago and they have none now.

Trade them for what?
