hairston has certainly not looked better than every other rookie in summer league.


I was talking about the SG'S. The only one who has looked better as a SG has been Lavine but he has played mainly PG


sorry, i misread your post.

wiggins has looked pretty good, but thats expected. lavine has looked good. of the non-shooting guards, mcdermott and warren have been fantastic. harris has basically been the same player as hairston, both taking a ton of shots, both inefficient. nick johnson and noel, also having good summer leagues. cleanthony looks good. jordan clarkson also. long list...

but, hairston shooting 31% is a killer. plus he doesnt add much else - defense, rebounding or passing. today has been his most complete game, easily.

Happy for Ewing. Its just SL, but the first three games were embarrassing.

If Vonleh can show at least a little bit of consistency with that lefty hook that move might be devastating in the future.

I like the hustle, and the defense I have seen from him. He hasnt shot all the well but his presence keeps the paint open. I think whoever is defending him realizes that he is a huge threat from beyond.

So who do we play tomorrow? Bonnell says Hawks-Rockets but the bracket says Wizards-Spurs...I think I am gonna trust the bracket.

Tried to correct him, but I'm blocked so I don't know if he even can see it.

Bracket could be wrong though, I guess.

Proud of how these guys fought today. Great games from Brownlee and Brown. Honestly, I think this team turned a corner when Jerome Dyson went to the bench. Nelson is much better. Really hope Zeller plays tomorrow if he's healthy. We need to build a winning culture around the franchise and even summer league games should be played with maximum effort.

it was really bad his freshman year at UNC until Hubert Davis got a hold of him and cleaned it up his sophomore year

SL doesnt build a winning culture. Ask Dunlap and his full court press like its St Johns vs Illinois in college.
