[Blackjack]

Very cool. I didn't expect to see a schedule until after the draft. :tu

Can't wait to see how our lottery pick(s) do. :smokin

[angelbelow]

thanks for the info

[Shastafarian]

Anyone planning on going? I *might* be in Vegas for the first couple games.

[Libri]

Maybe Nando De Colo will get an invite, even if there are no plans for him to join the team next season.

[Mel_13]

Maybe Nando De Colo will get an invite, even if there are no plans for him to join the team next season.

It's been discussed in the Nando thread in the Think Tank. Extremely unlikely due to FIBA rules and French NT commitments.

[DPG21920]

I am planning on going. Not sure which days though.

[Bukefal]

Looking forward to it :king

[DPG21920]

Just found out I am going the 14th and 15th.

[Shastafarian]

Cool. If I go it'll most likely be the 12th-14th. I'll let you know if I go to the game on the 14th.

[Libri]

It's been discussed in the Nando thread in the Think Tank. Extremely unlikely due to FIBA rules and French NT commitments.

I had missed that. I agree, there's no need for him to come over.

[duncan228]

Rosters have yet to be finalized, but the Spurs' entry is likely to include as many as four players who were on the team's 15-man roster to close the season -- Alonzo Gee, Malik Hairston, Garrett Temple and Curtis Jerrells -- as well as their pick(s) from the June draft.

Second-year center-forward DeJuan Blair is not scheduled to participate, with Spurs management devising a summer centered around individual work for him.

Yes, ducks, RJ should go (and I ain't talkin' 'bout no Summer league).

cool schedule...what ever happened to 2009 draft pick jack mcclinton?

[duncan228]

what ever happened to 2009 draft pick jack mcclinton?

Looking for a team.


Catching up with Jack McClinton and Ricky Harris (http://www.miaasports.net/release.asp?RELEASE_ID=3590)
6/11/2010

Earlier this week Joe DiBlasi caught up with former Calvert Hall basketball stars Jack McClinton and Ricky Harris, who were both at their high school alma mater working out as both continue their quest to catch on with an NBA franchise.

McClinton came out of the University of Miami following the 2008-2009 season, where he set the ACC mark for three-point field goal percentage and was second in league history in free throw percentage. He was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs, but eventually played his first professional season in Europe. He has a tryout scheduled with the Toronto Raptors and is considering several offers to play summer ball with NBA teams.

http://www.miaasports.net/release.asp?RELEASE_ID=3590

[modtxspur]

will they eventually have a list of which games will be televised. I know they televised some on NBAtv but they didn't show much love to the Spurs

[Ditty]

maybe the spurs should invite mclinton back with gist and see if viktor sanikidze wants to play also

[JonNOKC]

should be there 14-17th - looking forward to watching young guys and some of new draft picks

[ace3g]

http://www.ridiculousupside.com/2010/3/17/1377030/2010-nba-summer-league-schedule

sounds like the RMR is back this year? Spurs usually play in that one every year

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I forgot all about McClinton. All I remember is him being propped up as having an amazing shot, and then clanking everything in the summer league.

[Dex]

Damn, that's the week before I'll be in Vegas.

Anyone have any input on whether the $10.95 is worth it? I think I had heard that video quality was poor last year. Does it seem like they are trying harder this year; e.g., did they have features like DVR and archives last year?

[ChumpDumper]

They had archives last year but no DVR. If they are using the same technology they did in the D-League this past season, it should be ok although the quality did vary from town to town.

I already bought it, so I'll let you know a couple of days before the Spurs play.

[lurker23]

Thanks ChumpDumper, much appreciated! :toast

[DMX7]

James Anderson isn't playing, so who cares?

[angelbelow]

gonna try to attend one of these games. hopefully anderson is healthy enough to play.

[Vic Petro]

COLLEGE STATION -- Aggie basketball players Bryan Davis and Donald Sloan did not get selected in Thursday's NBA Draft, but will get their shot to play in the league.

Davis will join the San Antonio Spurs summer league squad when they begin play in Las Vegas on July 9th.

Davis averaged 9.6 Points and led the Aggies with 8.1 Rebounds a game his senior season.

Donald Sloan is headed to Sacramento and the Kings will also take part in the Las Vegas Summer League.

Sloan led A&M with nearly 18 points per game and was second on the team in assists.

[Ice009]

So how do I get NBA Summer League broadband if I am not in the US?

I just tried to get it and it says I am in a restricted region, which I am not. It seems like another stuff up from these guys.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

i aint about to pay for this man. if any of yall are gonna stream this for free pm me or something

[Ice009]

i aint about to pay for this man. if any of yall are gonna stream this for free pm me or something

Are you in the US?

[lurker23]

For those of you with NBATV, it looks like they're currently scheduled to show the Spurs games against the two LA teams (vs. Lakers on 7/15, vs. Clippers on 7/17). For some reason the schedule doesn't go out to 7/18 yet.

http://www.nba.com/nbatv/schedule/

[lurker23]

That July 18th game against the Grizzlies just got more interesting.

@SpearsNBAYahoo

O.J. Mayo surprisingly on Grizzlies' summer league roster in Las Vegas. How much will his scoring average be?

http://twitter.com/SpearsNBAYahoo

[spursfan1000]

I can't go to Vegas :(

[Biggems]

any word on the final roster?

this question is basically for ChumpDumper, as he seems to be completely in the know when it comes to the Summer League and the Toros.

exactly the same happened to me, and I sent a help request which never received a reply.

have to be streams I guess, hopefully there'll be some decent ones around

No word on the final roster that I've seen, but Ridiculous Upside has some preliminary summer league attendees on their website, pieced together from various media reports. Here's what they have so far:

http://www.ridiculousupside.com/2010/6/28/1540775/nba-summer-league-rosters-vegas

San Antonio Spurs Summer League Roster

PG - Garrett Temple, Curtis Jerrells

SG - Malik Hairston

SF - Alonzo Gee

PF - DeJuan Blair, James Gist, Bryan Davis

C - Ryan Richards

Coach - Mike Budenholzer

San Antonio Spurs Summer League Schedule - 7/12 vs Minnesota, 7/14 vs Atlanta, 7/15 vs Lakers, 7/17 vs Clippers, 7/18 vs Memphis

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Just wondering. How should the Spurs evaluate everybody at Summer League? They have 5 people under contract, two second rounders, and possibly Anderson. Not everyone is going to shine, or even put up decent stats, especially considering this isn't even the full roster. While the player(s) who put up great stats will give them at least a little clearer image of the future, how would they evaluate those who don't play as well or as much? Since it's not so easy to project how a player would've done in other scenarios or with more minutes.

[HarlemHeat37]

It's a tough question, because this team is pretty stacked from a Summer League caliber standpoint..they really need to evaluate Hairston, Gee and Temple..they're gonna have to get Blair some touches, obviously, but I don't think he even ends up playing in every game TBH..

I would guess Richards will be more of a catch and finisher type, and playing the garbage man role..

I would assume Hairston and Gee will also be put into defensive assignment roles(Temple as well, although there aren't as many good PGs in the SL)..

Ellington, Wesley Johnson, Flynn, Aminu, OJ Mayo and Xavier Henry should be good tests, off the top of the head..

[ChumpDumper]

any word on the final roster?

this question is basically for ChumpDumper, as he seems to be completely in the know when it comes to the Summer League and the Toros.I wish I were. Don't be surprised if the roster isn't announced until the day before SL starts.

[Bender]

do the Spurs still have any hold on Gist, or is he available to any team?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

We still have his rights.

Interesting to see how Ryan Richards performs. I think he'll turn some heads

[Chieflion]

George Hill isn't taking part? Oh well, he established himself on the team anyway. Do they have captains for summer league teams?

[Biggems]

I was kind of hoping that Kevin Palmer would join our Summer League team since Corpus is only a few hours from SA. It would have been nice to see an Islander vying for a spot on our preseason roster.

If anything, I hope he is on the Toros this upcoming season.

[Biggems]

Kevin Palmer is on the Wizards.....darn

[ChumpDumper]

The live video from Orlando is high quality flash. Stuttering occasionally. Pretty much like the HD video from the Spanish league playoffs.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

What do we expect to happen if Ryan "The Streets" Richards completely looks ahead of the pack during Summer League?

[TheProfessor]

Signed and sent to Austin, I'd assume. But I expect that will happen unless he's truly awful.

Thanks. :tu Will probably end up getting it, but may have to watch games in archive due to work.

[HarlemHeat37]

I was happy with last year's stream, I didn't have any problems..I don't remember how much it cost though, 10$ or something around there IIRC..good deal..

[Blackjack]

NBA TV is showing the Orlando Summer League as we speak.

Utah-Charlotte just finished; Indiana-Orlando's on deck; Boston-Oklahoma follows; and then it wraps up with the debut of Turner and Favors as Philadelphia takes on the Nets.

[Biggems]

i cant believe Orton came out...he looks awful. he should have stayed at Kentucky for at least another year.

[DPG21920]

Marcus Williams is playing for the Pacers Orlando Summer League team right now on NBA TV.

Plus Paul George is playing as well.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

patrick ewing jr is wrecking, what year is he in? paul george is niceeeeeeee

[Cane]

Nice dunk from George.

[Spur-Addict]

Lance Stephenson is the story of this game so far, by far. I'd like to see how he responds by being defended by a larger guard (and defend a larger guard).

[TimDunkem]

rofl Daniel Orton started a push fight with Josh McRoberts not long after Marcus Williams blocked one of his shots.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

daniel orton sucks, who is this rolle guy he is good

[Anonymous Cowherd]

do we have a roster for the Spurs?


also, are people aware that there are 2 Marcus Williams, and is the one playing the Toros one or the Grizzlies one?

Toros

[pad300]

Anyone heard anything about with whom/where Tyler Smith is playing? IF he's not playing with another team, we SHOULD invite him. Especially given the mess that RJ opting out has created at the 3.

[Supergirl]

Who's on the SA summer league team? I can't find that info on the website.

[ChuckD]

Who's on the SA summer league team? I can't find that info on the website.

Uh, read the thread?

[Biggems]

go to the link i posted a earlier today....it has a link that gives rosters for both summer leagues

[Biggems]

didnt there used to be 3 summer leagues? one on the east coast, las vegas, and the midwest revue?

[Biggems]

The last year of the Rocky Mountain Revue in Salt Lake City was 2008. It was canceled in 2009 due to monetary issues and a dwindling roster of teams. They talked about bringing it back for this summer, but ultimately decided against it. It's possible it will be resurrected in the future, but probably not next year due to lockout concerns.

[ElNono]

The live video from Orlando is high quality flash. Stuttering occasionally. Pretty much like the HD video from the Spanish league playoffs.

Quality is top notch so far. I thought this thing had some sort of DVR functionality? or is that for the Archive only?

[Biggems]

If you are a Longhorns fan, Damion James and Connor Atchley will be playing for the Nets, Atchley will then play for the Kings in Vegas, PJ Tucker will be playing for Charlotte, Dexter Pittman for Miami, and Avery Bradley for Boston (though he is injured and will not actually play).

[Cant_Be_Faded]

PJ Tucker still trying to get into the league? lol

I think 3 Summer Leagues would be perfect. Each league can have 10 teams (5 from each conference). Each team plays 5-6 games over a 2 week span.

[Biggems]

PJ Tucker still trying to get into the league? lol

it says he is apparently playing professionally in Israel

For a basketball junkie this is akin to a finger nail snorts worth for a crack head.

He got his money, he doesn't have to show up in shape. Life is good.

Damn it, stop looking at those sick dunks. He still can't hit a jump shot to save his life, though he has been a decent distributor for the Nets.

[Manufan909]

If Splitter is signed on the 8th, what are the odds he'll play in SL? I don't see much of a point to him playing, SL would be way bellow him, and take away from Blair/Richards getting quality PT. Scratch that, Blair doesn't really need quality PT in the SL, he's already proven himself.

I might pay ten bucks to see Splitter play in SL. But I'd rather just read everyone's takes, I'll be too busy with work and school to watch a lot of the games, even with the archive.

[ChumpDumper]

If Splitter is signed on the 8th, what are the odds he'll play in SL?Infinity to one.

[ElNono]

Splitter finished his euro season a few weeks ago, and he will be playing the Worlds next month, so there's no way he's going to play the SL...

8th is the first day NBA FA can sign contracts, the 15th is the deadline for Splitter to opt out of his contract with Caja

Marcus Williams not on the Spurs summer league team.

Good news :tu

[DPG21920]

Marcus Williams not on the Spurs summer league team.

Good news :tu

He is on the Pacers.

[ace3g]

hopefully Temple will do a better job of the "tall PG" they envisioned MW to be.

[DesignatedT]

Terrence Williams solid once again. This guy is going to be a stud. We need to swap RJ for him straight up in a s&t.

[ace3g]

Paul George playing some good defense

[ChumpDumper]

Marcus Williams not on the Spurs summer league team.Yet. There are a few players scheduled to play both leagues on different teams.

Don't mean to scare ya....

[DPG21920]

I can't wait for Vegas. I guess we will know next week who will be playing for the Spurs.

[Dex]

Paul George just tied the Summer League Steal Record in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Sure it's Summer League and guys are sloppy, but dude looks like he's going to be a pesky defender.

[Obstructed_View]

Yet. There are a few players scheduled to play both leagues on different teams.

For those of you with NBATV, it looks like they're currently scheduled to show the Spurs games against the two LA teams (vs. Lakers on 7/15, vs. Clippers on 7/17). For some reason the schedule doesn't go out to 7/18 yet.

http://www.nba.com/nbatv/schedule/
Actually...I just ran through the whole schedule and all of the Spurs games will be shown on NBATV, just some of them on replays. This works out for me, as I will be out of town all week long and I will record them and watch them after I get back. Here are the times:

7/13 - Spurs vs. Timberwolves @ 4AM ET
7/15 - Spurs vs. Hawks @ 7AM ET
7/15 - Spurs vs. Lakers @ 3PM ET(live...replay at 4AM)
7/17 - Spurs vs. Clippers @ 8PM ET(live)
7/19 - Spurs vs. Grizzlies @ 9AM ET

[ace3g]

yeah they have pretty much every other ISP except for Time Warner, luckily I have NBATV so I'll be able to watch summer league on my TV

Paul George just showed why he will be a great player in the future: Today he was not shooting well like 4-19 yet he was still competing on the defensive end and was getting to the FT line (perfect for the day). You could tell he was frustrated by his shot not falling (I'm not sure if he made a change it his shot from what I saw in youtube, but he now has something the resembles a SJAX shot that is someone I would compare George to).

Anyway the Celtics had a chance to put the game away and go up 4 but George got the steal off a bounce pass and Pacers called at TO. You would figure since he is shooting well, they Pacers wouldn't run a play for him but out the TO they run an inbound play for him. He gets free off a screen and receives the ball in the left corner, goes baseline and gets the reverse lay up and the and 1. He makes the FT, putting the Pacers up 1. The Cs have trouble getting the ball in and barely get out of the backcourt and end up with a bad shot at the buzzer.

It was a great redemption play for George, to play that bad offensively the entire game, yet have the ball in your hand to tie or win the game and he does just that.

He has a bright future.

George definitely did not have one of his better games today. He started out well, but looked kind of fatigued from the second quarter onward. He was a little sloppier than usual, and his defense against Acie Law IV was far from what I've been used to seeing from Hill. Acie was able to get past him several times on the drive, and he was the first guy I think I've seen get past Hill more than once. Hill does a good job of recovering when he gets beat initially (more on that in a second).

Despite the poor game, Hill came up big in clutch time. Spurs were down one with about 20 seconds to go. True to typical Spurs form, they had Hill dribble the ball between the circles and sent everyone else off to the wings on an iso play. Hill made a good move to get into the lane, almost lost the ball for a second, but then recovered and went up strong near the hoop, drawing the foul. He hit two clutch free throws to put the Spurs up 1, 83-82. Hawks got the ball with 6.9 seconds left and, after using a timeout, ran a similar iso play for Acie Law. Hill let Law penetrate all the way to within 5 feet of the hoop, but when Acie went up for the shot, Hill got all ball and got the jump ball call with 2.0 seconds left. (Side note: Hill blocks a very good amount of shots for someone his size, especially on help defense.) On the jump ball, Acie Law didn't really seem to try for some reason; Hill did the smart thing and knocked the ball to the other side of the court, and time expired before the ball went out of bounds.



....Sorry, what? You weren't talking about George Hill? :)

Complete coverage of the Spurs summer league action, including box scores, photos and game summaries, will be available at spurs.com."

Not particularly surprised. I currently expect him to be in Europe for another year or two; he's just too raw to spend a roster spot on. Unlike Mahinmi, they can't lock him in (up to 4 years of rookie contract), without spending part of the MLE. Therefore if he turned out good in the D-league (in a 1 year contract) he would be a FA without the Spurs having any rights. Even if he was on a 2 year contract, we would only have limited bird rights. I predict they will leave him in Europe a la Tiago until either they have some MLE money available to bring him over on a contract with long term practicality for the Spurs.

Try signing up someplace that has internet from a provider who does have the agreement. I signed up at a place that has U-verse and I can sign in and use ESPN3 with any provider now.

Hmm... Can you get video though? Because I signed up with Comcast, but when I go to work (where we have Verizon), it changes the top logo to 'sponsored by Verizon'. IE: It seems to detect by your IP what provider you're using.

[yavozerb]

Terrance Williams is a beast.

This kid must think this summer league is all about him cause he sure as hell doesn't want anyone else to shoot the ball. I think James has been much more effective for his team than williams this summer.

IE: It seems to detect by your IP what provider you're using.Ah, they got wise to what I was doing. They are now requiring you to actually sign in to an AT&T account to gain access from an out-of-agreement account. Looks like I'll have to ask for my friend's login information -- he doesn't use the actual account for anything.

I really like Temple a lot. This guy is bright and I hope he can continue to develop those PG skills.

does this mean malik has a roster spot with the spurs?

San Antonio Spurs

DeJuan Blair: There's nothing unusual about seeing a second-round draft pick with only one year under his belt on a Summer League roster. What is unusual is when it's the player -- an All-NBA rookie no less -- who insists he report to Las Vegas, despite management's blessing to stay home.
Alonzo Gee: The small forward out of Alabama earned D-League Rookie of the Year honors with Austin, then recorded a double-double in his fifth NBA game after getting a call-up from Washington. The Spurs have some room on the depth chart at the wing, and a standout performance by Gee could earn him a closer look in training camp.
Garrett Temple: When Temple played with the Rockets' squad last summer, he displayed a combination of intelligence and competitiveness that said, "NBA player." Sure enough, the undrafted Temple earned four 10-day contracts (two with Houston, one with Sacramento and one with San Antonio). After a terrific March, Temple signed on with San Antonio for the remainder of the season.

[peacemaker885]

We have a 7 foot guy playing in summer league? Josh Lomers from Baylor?

[Obstructed_View]

Lomers was decent in stretches at Baylor, but it was always a race between his asthma and his frequent fouls for what would have him taken off the floor first.

Apparently he went to Boerne High too...

I won't rule out Ryan Richards of the SL.

It's possible that Spurs have waited to solve the Splitter case to know if some of their MLE was left to sign him to a 3 years contract. If Splitter is signed this Monday, I expect Richards to be signed just after him and play Spurs' SL second game on July 14th.

So the roster doesnt have to be finalized by a certain time?

I was wondering about this the other day incase James Anderson is cleared to play mid way.

I don't know but it would be quite dumb to put strict roster rules while SL isn't about winning but is about evaluating players.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

Actually...I just ran through the whole schedule and all of the Spurs games will be shown on NBATV, just some of them on replays. This works out for me, as I will be out of town all week long and I will record them and watch them after I get back. Here are the times:

7/13 - Spurs vs. Grizzlies @ 4AM ET
7/15 - Spurs vs. Hawks @ 7AM ET
7/15 - Spurs vs. Lakers @ 3PM ET(live...replay at 4AM)
7/17 - Spurs vs. Clippers @ 8PM ET(live)
7/19 - Spurs vs. Grizzlies @ 9AM ET


7/13 - Spurs vs. Grizzlies @ 4AM ET, wth 4am? is that the right time?

Yea, I hope so too. Would be cool if James Anderson heals up and plays 1 or 2 games. Same with Richards.

How long does it take to rehab a hamstring? And what day did he hurt it?

[ElNono]

Is it just me or there's a lot of ladies reffing SL games?

Also, there's a guy that looks like Miki Moore playing for Houston :lol

[ace3g]

O. Samhan is wearing these crazy low cut "below the ankle" basketball shoes. They look like skater shoes, but I guess they aren't affecting him because he is having a good game.

7-11 for 14 pts

[ElNono]

Roddy started on a roll. I wonder why he's playing. It's not like Dallas needs to see anything from him that they don't know about.

“Pop told me he wanted me to learn the four, and that's what I want to do,” Blair said. “It's all about developing, so the more I can play, the more I can get better.”

“We're going to encourage him to shoot when he's open,” Budenholzer said. “He might miss 10 shots in a row, and we're going to tell him to shoot again, and then shoot again. Take what the defense gives him.

Blair said his primary goal this week will be working on the basics of the Spurs' defensive scheme — this time away from the basket.

[DPG21920]

Although I am not thrilled about the rosters overall, I am really happy to see Gee, Blair & Temple. I am looking forward to seeing Neal because I have never seen him play.

[Chomag]

Only players I'm intrested in watching now would be Blair and Temple.

[Bruno]

Spurs' SL team features a lot of players in Spurs pipeline (Gee, Temple, Gist, Jerrells, Blair and Hairston in the initial roster). It's logical that Spurs have very few interesting players outside them.

Agents are looking at SL teams where their clients can get an opportunity to shine. With most of the playing time and shots taken by players still in the pipeline, Spurs wasn't the best place for that.

[ace3g]

I'm really pulling for Gist because if he shows that he has worked on his SF/perimeter game and can knock down 3s, then I won't be as worried if the Spurs aren't able to find another SF who will sign for the LLE.

[Trill Clinton]

Whoa..I just heard blair isnt going to play in SL due to an injury in practice...looks like it's gonna be an all d-league team.

[ace3g]

where did you hear this from?

Sucks I won't be around to watch the games this week. I'm really going to try to abstain from peeking at the box scores while I'm gone...not to sure how that's going to work out. :)

I'll probably watch them all on Sunday/Monday and post a thread Monday with my thoughts about them.

[AFBlue]

Latest Monroe article says the Spurs gave Hairston a deliberate pass this year b/c they were comfortable with what he has brought in the past. Looks like his roster spot is the most secure of the non-guaranteeds.

[yavozerb]

I am guessing Gee will get the defensive assignment on wesley johnson tomm. Should be fun..

Another matchup that will be intersting is jerrels vs. flynn. Jerrels needs to prove he can play some D and Flynn is not the easiest guy to contain. So with Gee vs. Johnson and Jerrels vs. Flynn should be a fun game to watch (even though it will not be aired until 0300).

[elbamba]

I just read that as well. Apparently they like his game and don't see how summer league will change their opinions.

Just noticed that Jack McClinton is playing for the Bulls and performed much better than he did for us lol. 8 points 3-5 fg 1-2 3pt in 10 minutes.

After watching Jerrells I just don't see him being a PG at this point I think we could find better prospects to take over for him.

Pg. Mat Bouldin 6"5
Pg. Aj Slaughter - thrives in the pick and roll
