Pretty sure he hit a nice fade away to kick off the scoring in the game.

Box score just doesn't list the big 4, but apparently they've combined for 42 otherwise unaccounted for points.

Dude I fell asleep lmao. I was up all night chatting with my gilfriend. I tried to fight my lack of sleep and realized that I am nothing but a washed up raisin that you find in the couch at families house that you eat because welp its a family raisin.

but before I fell asleep he had scored a floating jumper and had a nice behind the back pass on a fastbreak.

Weber's 3 at 7:33 looks improved. He was struggling big time with 3 point shots last season.

Eh, he air balled a completely wide open one earlier in the video.

One airball and one make is still an improvement. His motion looks more fluid to me. He's still a far ways away from actually being considered a threat from 3, but some improvement could elevate his game and earn him a spot on the roster I think.

graham was super aggressive. didn't realize he could rebound like that either. now i see why BAM was rising so fast last few days. bacon was a little disappointing, but it was his 1st real game and he was 4th option, which has to be new for him. gill looked ok. suilamon not a pg. ugh. rest of bench was pretty bad. love watching weber roam for steals. great instincts off ball. free throw shooting was concerning.

Darn, I forgot that the NBA Summer League started July 1st, but I'll try and watch the rest of our games. Strictly going off the box score/highlights, Graham has potentially put in the work we need for him to fill in when necessary during the December-February grind-it-out months of the regular season. If this continues, it's possible (and with the signing of MCW, likely) he could be the 5th wing and fill in during the event of an injury and/or provide positive spot minutes when his number is called by Clifford. To be honest, I was impressed with what I saw by him last year, especially how he handled the VERY inconsistent minutes he got (one game he's asked to guard the opponent's best wing, then for 5-10 games he's at the end of the bench with a DNP-CD despite doing a decent job when he played).

As far as big picture, he definitely has the potential to become a solid rotation 3 and D player in the mold of Bruce Bowen or Mickael Pietrus. If not, then it's a no-risk decent-reward player who went undrafted at the end of our bench with what seems like a positive work ethic/attitude/locker room presence...

I'm rooting for him. I hope he keeps it up in the summer league.
