Summer League Thread Part 4: Aug 14th Charlotte @7pm TSN2

[Brinbe]

precious has actual nba experience and knows what real competition is, so he should be dominating at this level. but the versatility of his game should be fun when paired with og/barnes/pascal and i guess fred.

Next year depth chart

Birch/Precious/Gillespe
Pascal/Boucher/Barnes
OG/Ish/Barnes
GTJ/Dragic
FVV/Flynn

Elite bench but Pascal/OG are the only starting level players in our 5 imo. If we can trade for another permanent piece were sitting well.

Also a top 4 draft pick as 12th man... if you're not the defending champion pistons, hurts.

FVV is starting level and then some. Game 6 finals MVP according to Hubie Brown.

The toxicity this year is biblical. Geeze, 3 summer league games and the kid is banged up and all of sudden he's terrible?

Get a grip.

It's becoming increasingly harder to keep coming to this forum. Where a 20 year old rookie is being labelled a bust after 3 summer league games.

Freddy hate syndrome combined with social media disease.

We’re will run an octopus defense with OG/Barnes/Pascal/Precious. Just 8 long arms. Throw Wainright in there and it’s not safe to dribble anymore.

We're also going to score like 10 points a game

Does anyone get Robert Covington vibes from Wainright?

I'm not really mad, I actually think if you're going to start the process, a guy like Barnes is a good 1st pick in that process.

I just don't get the fans who think we will be good next year. Don't think they're being realistic tbh we lost lowery and the team we battled with? The bulls, got way way better. We got worse.


I'd like to say I'd hope we win but I think our ceiling is like 10th in the east. So I rather lose tbh that's just me

I have no idea how good we will be, but I will cheer for wins every game.

Random tangent. A weird thing I found on social media that freaked me out was how flexible Sengun is. Has anyone ever seen a big man that can do the Van Damme splits?

Read on Twitter

I am not advocating we should have drafted him or anything, but I remember Dirk and other sports legends like Ichiro who were maniacs about stretching. They had long careers with limited injury time.

One observation I have with Scottie is he plays pretty stiff. I could see him benefitting a lot by increasing his overall hip flexibility. I'd love to see him get into yoga to get his body right.

To me, being able to move your hips will help him to better contain dribble penetration. Right now he gets beat and the recovery time for him could be a lot faster because he tends to turn and chase his defender, as opposed to moving quickly laterally.

Yeah, absolutely agree with you. His hips look extremely locked up.

The splits aren't helping Sengun on defense unfortunately
