Zizic is starting to get comfortable. He's got more game than he's showed as he's still acclimating.

Other than the turnovers, that's a helluva statline: 5-7 for 12 points and 13 boards in 17 minutes.

Jabari Bird, stepped it up.

Anyone who followed Zizic in Europe knows he's a really nice player. Obviously a work in progress, and getting used to the speed of the NBA will take time, but he'll get there.

Yep. -- 4 Offensive Rebs, 2 Assists, and a Block, too.

Not trying to give him excuses but he's played every game this summer 30 plus minutes a night. In college their schedualle including practice is nowhere near as hectic. We haven't seen any other high lottery picks play as many minutes this summer. He looked exhausted out there and most likely needs to work on his conditioning.

Stevens got himself another closer. IT, Hayward, Tatum (no pressure, kid).

His conditioning looked better as of late, shorter rotations might have played a part.

Lucas didn't have a bad stats line either for only ten minutes. I would like like to see one big man and one guard get those two ways, I wonder who if any of these guys gets a invite to the preseason.

He's had some visible gaffes, but I really think his presence has been a real net positive in these games. His offensive game is pretty impressive without taking any shots.

The question for me is whether or not real NBA offenses can expose him athletically in a way that these guys don't.

I know stupid Mark Jackson applaud passing up the 3 with no one near him to drive into a loaded paint. (probably part of the reason that guy held back one of the best NBA teams in history from being any good until they wisely let him go)

But I agree with the other announcer, no one rotated on the Sixer's summer league D to contest that layup.

Unless Tatum has no shot at making a 3 (he made one tonight so that's already invalid) he should have pulled up with a small guy way too far away to contest his shot.

Just another shot selection change he'll have to make learning on the bench from Stevens.

We all like that he can get seperation for a fall away mid range shot though. He is exactly as draft express advertised.

Excited for him to completely change his approach to the game and make infinitely quicker decisions once he gets the ball, and take much more open shots when they're presented.

Congrats to Walta on steering the team to 3=0 and a bye in Vegas!

Best games yet for Bird and Zizic. Zizic will be a solid contributor at some point. He owned the boards.

Brown looked great but got kneed in the thigh and didn't play again.

Ojeleye looked good.

Tatum had his worst game and still looks fantastic.

I think it's clear that Tatum looks at his best when he is just reacting rather than thinking. Brad needs to get him to initiate his move immediately off the catch as opposed to taking his time.

Jaylen Brown said the bruised thigh isn't anything serious, although he said likely be shut down for rest of summer league.

That would suck.
