The first 2012 Summer League game for the Spurs starts at 7PM CST -- or in less than an hour. You can purchase Summer League Broadband for $5 and that will allow you to watch all the games. Can't beat the price and the picture and sound quality has been great for me.

Go here to get it: https://account.nba.com/summerleaguebroadband/

Anyways, this will be a very interesting game. The Spurs will apparently run their offense through Kawhi Leonard. Cory Joseph should also play a big role on this summer league squad.

If I'd have to guess the starting lineup, I'd say:

PG Cory Joseph
SG James Anderson
SF Kawhi Leonard
PF Eric Dawson
C Alexis Ajinca

Those first four players are probably a lock for the starting lineup. Ajinca's spot could go to whichever bigmen has been most impressive in the practice over the last few days.

The Hawks should be a good test. They beat the Wizards by 20 points in their first game despite Washington starting five NBA players. Atlanta's most interesting players are John Jenkins -- a great shooting swingman who was their first round pick. Keith Benson in the middle is a solid prospect, as is John Surna -- a rookie small forward. Other notable players on the Hawks are Gani Lawal (who was in Spurs training camp last season) and point guard Brad Wanamaker.



Should be fun :hungry:

That appears to be an error. Should be 4.99. You might want to call. Quality is much improved and well worth the 5.

Quick thoughts:

-Cory Joseph looks much, much better. Playing with a lot more determination.

-Kawhi Leonard aggressive and good inside but cold from the perimeter.

-James Anderson not overly impressive. Hogging the ball a little bit.

-Eric Dawson looks pretty damn legit. I'm thinking more and more he's an NBA player.

-Luke Zeller is got damn horrible.

-Marcus Denmon was overwhelmed at first but then got rolling.

None of the other bench players really played enough to observe much, tbh.

I don't mind Dawson getting some burn because I found him to be an interesting prospect last season. Zeller, on the other hand, has no chance at making the team. I definitely wanted to see Ajinca get some playing time.

It looks like there have only been two players who had ten rebounds in a game in this summer league. Dawson has ten boards in the first half. His jumper also looks good. I might have to hop on his bandwagon.

xellos88330

Joseph should have at least one more assist...that pos zeller blew the pass.

Leonard has been pretty aggressive when he got the ball. He just happened to turn it over and miss a couple of jumpshots. So those mishaps minimize his presence but hes definitely been active.

Well maybe you knew this already but I just found out that he can shoot 3s too. Even though he bricked his 3pt attempt pretty hard, the Spurs must be thrilled with another big who can spread the floor.

I can't blame the Spurs for drafting the kid. He's only been on the court for a minute and it's obvious he's a damn smooth athlete.

Bball IQ?

"Intriguing" means there's something missing, and people keep hoping all his other positives overcome it.

Hoping maybe some of his subpar play overseas has to do with the caliber of the competition. Not sure I want to throw a lot of guaranteed money at a person like that if I'm an NBA team, especially when he's so young. Not really much choice if he has all the physical tools.

Richards shoots a three. The guy is the definition of "intriguing". Seven-footer. Someone thick. Runs like a gazelle. Comfortable on the perimeter. Apparently can shoot. Quick feet.

Just on his tools, I might bring him in now and put him on a two-year Toros program to see exactly WTF he is. The overseas thing isn't working for him for whatever reason.
