good to see tommy still calling games. the way he struggled through last year, i was thinking he may be done, but he looked and sounded better than he has in years.

Ante Zizic had a nice game for Cleveland - 16 points, 14 boards, 5 assists. No idea how he *looked*, and experience can make summer league superstars out of mediocrities, but it's an interesting box score line.

Bamba put up 11 points and 7 boards - only 1 block - in his summer league debut for Orlando. He may turn out to be a project - but those numbers are good enough to suggest he's not going to be a complete bust. Then again - check out this 2009 write-up of Hasheem Thabeet's first summer league game: https://www.theuconnblog.com/2009/07/13/thabeet-makes-nba-debut-in-style

Christian Wood had a highlight reel game for the Bucks - athletic, taller than Hassan Martin, came into the league at 19 and never showed enough to have a team invest in him developmentally.

Žižić, had some impressive numbers. 14 Boards, 5 Assists? Not too shabby.

And still just 21.

This is a guy with which we should have taken a flier. A knucklehead, but a really young, really long, really athletic guy with skill. He reminds me of a longer Michael Beasley.

I thought the point guard HENRY looked really good. Better than Kadeem Allen IMO. Very pleased to see yabusele do well. Semij was good as was bird

Grass is green. Water is wet.

Their poor board went into the offseason thinking they'd walk away with one of Lebron, Paul George or Kawhi. Now they've had to settle for Amir, JJ Reddick, Bjelica, with one poster wishing for the Kings to sign away Marcus Smart to an offer sheet we can't match.

Trust the process!!

Lmao. Dude, they didn't think they would get ONE of LeBron, Paul George or Kawhi. Most of them literally thought they would get TWO of them.

They need to do something drastic to keep pace with the Celtics. They are outgunned at the moment with no real way to catch up. I’ll laugh if that kings pick clocks in at 2nd overall too and we have the chance to add Nasir Little or RJ Barrett to our treasure trove of riches

They spent 5 years tanking and all they got to was the 2nd round of the playoffs, which also happened to be how far they got before they started the Process. :lol:

That rivalry that had everyone so excited before the series started looks like it's going to be pretty one-sided for the next 2-3 years. We need to start marketing doormats that say "Process" on them and sell these outside the Garden.

Henry looked very calm, like he sees the fast game at a slower speed. He was consistently under control and poised.
