He needs to do that more for us to create open shots

He's got some big, strong legs on him. If that hook shot is pure he can certainly get position for it more often, even at the NBA level.

What concerns me with Penda is his dribbling when he pushes the ball. He dribbles too vertical which makes his strides seem shorter.

I have no issues with it. He is a freight train.

Penda has to rep out that jumper but he's well rounded..

Penda could've had a couple of more assists if his teammates could've made layups.

Where does Jett Howard fit in the rotation, with Noah and TDS playing well?

Jase plays like a winning vet. Everything is in control and unselfish.

PendaExpress!!!

Even with tough defense .... With his strong base and size people are just bouncing off of him when they do simple things like reach. Hahah

And his passes are strong and crisp.

Jase went into the paint to make a pass, got fouled, heard the whistle, and immediately threw up a shot... this dude is going to be GOOD

Idk if we have ever had a worse summer league player then Kelly.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

It's not 2018 anymore. Penda isn't guarding Jokic, Embiid, Zubac, etc. The league is trending toward bigger centers again with picks like Edey, Clingon, Yang, etc. He is looking great though.
