SL G3 final moment Reggie and Adams so impressive

Reggie single-handedly carried back the team, Buycks hit some clutch 3's as well. Reggie has improved so much on his off the ball J. I don't think he'll be consistent on that, but he's surely improving. Great Job Reggie!

Adams' screen was really really solid, he didn't always jump for rebound instead he found his guy and boxed him out first, very good habit for a young player, Drummond couldn't beat him in sheer power. Plus Adams' FT in final minutes was impressive, his touch was not too bad.

Robertson grabbed 10 rebs in 24 minutes and was aggressive in the defensive end, he could guard wing players and crashed for boards. So far his performance has cleared up my doubt on drafting him. Very possibly a steal for OKC.

I know it's only a summer league game, but both Adams and Robertson play better than expected, and I see chances they earn a spot in rotation next season.

Excellent, glad to see the young guys do well, hopefully we can see them sooner rather than later in the regular season. Didn't get to see the game, but may catch a replay on NBATV!

Just summer league, so I wouldnt get too excited.

Its pretty obvious though that Reggie has no business down in the D-league. He's way too good for those guys, but maybe this will be a nice confidence boost for him.

Yeah, you knew it was bad when Kendall Gil compared Reggie to Lebron against the Pistons in 07 :lol:

!
That being said, after watching the replay, Adams (to me at least) did look noticably more comfortable this game, which is a relief to a small extent. Hopefully improvement continues.

What PJ3 doing in there? I haven't heard anything why isn't he playing?

He had some sort of oral infection and was out (had surgery and listed as questionable, but didn't make it).

Adams looked even more comfortable today than he did yesterday in my opinion. And between Reggie and Lamb, it almost seems like we kinda cheated and sent two ringers to help possibly win a Summer League championship. I would be surprised if Reggie plays on Friday, but I expect Lamb to be out there.

Hope Adams will play next game, the dude learns and gets used to the pace on the court so quickly. Let him play more, he improves more.

Completely agree... just hope that brooks remembers this come regular season time. Getting Jackson, Lamb, and Adams ready for prime time is more important than a slightly better chance to end up with one or two more wins

Adams improved with each outing. Liked his battle with Andre Drummond. The more experienced Drummond found it a bit more physical with Adams. Whilst Adams back to the basket game needs to develop he was a defensive presence, set nice screens and seems to be a hard man to move around in the paint. Adams seems to accumulate points and rebounds by stealth, you think he is not doing much and find he has double figures and is clocking up the rebounds as well. Orton also looks good, has put in some hard yards in the gym and seems more mobile. Could be some interesting calls for the coaches during the year.
