They should pass the ball to Yang more. Jrue and Scoot don't fit Yang's style of play. But to be honest that Yang guy looks more promising than any other center in this draft.

He really does. I love it. I think he is a good fit with Scoot long term as well.

the only other big I like as much is Danny Wolf. He's going to be fun to watch at Brooklyn.

Is that still the tiebreaker? ESPN is making it seem like its quarters won, and we’ve won quite a few compared to the other teams

Every graphic I've seen and everything I've read over the past two days has indicated that the tiebreaker is point differential

Their system for qualifying in summer league is stupid af. i hate when they have a good system *like they did before* and change it for the worse. Point differential should NEVER be taken into account unless you give a hella lot of games for that to be something to consider which in doing so would more than likely be something you will NOT have to consider...

First off you promote BAD sportsmanship by allowing teams to RUN UP A SCORE on another team.
2nd you leave out team(s) who can be unbeaten.
3rd you only offer 4 games and expect just 4 teams to stand waaay out from the rest on a consistant basis with these 4 games only

Just dumb af. Just cause it's summer league does not mean you do not have to show you could CARE LESS about it. Typical thought patterns of these HIGH looking down at the rest...

Thats why I avoid managerial responsibilities at all cost, cause I have an EXTREMLY low tolerance for things... I will fire a person QUICK, FAST AND IN A HURRY.

If I have done my part and set forth a FAIR environment, then I expect those responsible/contributing to do theirs... I am not heartless by no means, I am fair and professional which is what you RARELY if EVER get in most things nowadays, if ever unfortunately...

If anything I have more of a heart cause I expect fairness and a good product at all cost. Hence why I give and gave to charity for years... I just have LOW PATIENCE and TOLORANCE for stupidity and neglect.

Whoever put this thing together would be watching from home THIS summer league tournament. They wouldn't make it to the next.

Last comment but just piggybacking off the LACK OF PROFESIONALISM in summer league, take this years ESPY's speech. Without going into it in detail I want to offer a suggestion in CLASS. The host was out of line with the JOKE. Now for many they will think OH YOU CAN'T TAKE A JOKE. Uh no, let me explain...

When you have CLASS, you offer a product that either offends NONE or EQUALLY and LIGHTHEARTEDLY offends ALL!!!! It would be fine to make a JOKE if it is about YOUR OWN or EVERYONE. If you are gonna joke about SHORT you should joke about TALL, if HEAVY then SKINNY... Or at least have a track record of it... Noone should feel LEFTOUT or ONLY IN.

Now summer league basketball is by no means on the same level as the above EXAMPLE but like in everything there still can be a WRONG that should be WRITED...

Alternative Joke...

When Caitlin Clark retires, she should become a female boxer and fight black women.

Then he should have looked in the camera and held a phone to his ear and said

CLARESSA SHEILDS *I'll call you* "easy money"

Then he should have said, Don King is probably somewhere saying, Why didn't I think of that?

See how funny and light hearted that was...

It's not about what you do but how you do it...

Summer League get your ish together....

Demin is going to be baby Luka. I stand on that.

I can see him being a 20ppg/5rpg/8apg kind of player. Baby Luka!

Lookin forward to what is hopefully NOT our title game tonight...

Another game to watch is INDIANA VS NEW YORK - 4:30 ESPN2. TAELON PETER PLAYS IN THAT GAME. He has played well so far.

He is an EXTREME UNDERDOG.

From what I heard he...

Averaged under 15 a game off the bench at LIBERTY.
Is 23 years old.
Did not attend the combine
Was not in the top 100
Was not at the G league camp

Great underdog story, he is by far my favorite player in this draft. I think what got him there is his belief in God.

Watch on YouTube

If any of you decide to watch the PACERS VS KNICKS game at 4:30 Taelon Peter comes off the bench. So if you are looking for a LAME starter he's not it lol.

we need memphis to beat atlanta and golden state to be toronto
and of course, beat spurs
anyone know if carter bryant is playing tonight? he could be tough for kon/liam. dude has looked great on defense.

The NBA ruins you. They put you in the startling lineup, try to make you an allstar, give you millions of dollars, fame, nice homes, fancy cars, beautiful women. What a miserable existence
