2016 Summer League thread

[RsxPiimp]

not sure if some of you guys are watching these games but thought i'd create one anyway. few quick impressions. thon maker looks pretty damn good, very athletic, strong motor. simmons reminds me of rajon rondo this dude is afraid of wide open jumpers :lol and well, ingram made a strong impression, great defensive instinct (damn you mid)...Zubac is a fucking steal

buddy hield is trash :lol kris dunn looks good tho


ingram vs simmons tomorrow at ESPN, 8:30 pm fwiw...

Looking forward to seeing Ingram vs Simmons. Ingram is a much better defender than I thought. His wingspan is sick. He needs to gain 25-30lbs though.

[Raven]

so far no surprises for me

Really? I thought Kay Felder is a steal.


I have sophomore impressions as well, D'Angelo Russell and Mudiay looks really good. I think Russell will have an All Star season...

He's a laker fan bro...which means that's not really courage but just sheer delusion, tbh :lol

i know, but he too must have actually seen the guy play and be ridiculed the whole season while showing absolutely 0 potential.. i mean it's not an opinion, come on.. and how is he going to be an all star, is he going to get more votes than harden and chris paul? i mean :lmao

he still needs a lot of work, he bulked up a bit and he was posting guards last night with ease but he's a lot more confident this year that's for sure.


http://youtu.be/5ej8gG6aPAk

I think he'll have a very good sophomore season but nowhere near an all star caliber season, fwiw.

[RsxPiimp]

im actually excited with zubac and nance going forward, gotta credit mitch for always picking up gems in the second round (Clarkson, nance and zubac) of course its SL but they look pretty decent nonetheless

has sick handles for a guy his size though :lol

Was watching Simmons the other day. Didn't look like he could finish at the basket. Had to rely on getting fouled.

Recent scout on him

You see him troubleshooting how to be a scorer. He gets to the basket but doesn't seem have a plan when he gets there. He's also getting accustomed to playing again (hadn't played much for about three months) and learning that even summer league pros have consistent quickness and length he didn't see at LSU. His jumper looks smooth, though he's indecisive about taking it. The lefty tried a couple of right-handed runners in traffic, though none found the mark. He doesn't take many shots in a crowd. In general, scoring is a work in progress.

I understand being cautious but Russell will be the lead guard for the Lakers. His usage will increase and he's finally going to run a system that gives the ball up more rapidly. The Lakers ranked 29th in offensive efficiency, I won't be surprised if they drop to 15th under Walton's free flowing scheme.

[LkrFan]

I read that he was 6'2" as a HS Freshman then had a 7" growth spurt. So he's comfortable handling the rock. I don't expect CP0 type handles, but he should be able to bring the ball up the court and facilitate a li'l bit.

What you think of Zubac? I read a lot of M. Gasol comparisons, he looks legit tbh.

[Raven]

Marqueze chriss already went on some white dleaguers poster :lmao surefire bust tbh

how's dragan bender?

[LkrFan]

I like him, but I need to see him play against real NBA bigs. Those players last night will be lucky to make the practice squad somewhere.

I want to see him vs. Adams' length/size, or take an elbow by Dwert, or go against Anthony Davis' athleticism, or LMA's versatility. I want to see him in P&R having to guard Steph, or CP0, or Lillard in a pinch. How will he react to these situations that will inevitably occur?

His low post defense looks legit, but what about his perimeter D? This will determine how much PT he gets. Luke likes to switch everything on D.

He's only 19 and already has a good base, but he's a rook and will go through growing pains. Lots of Laker Fans are already comparing him to a young Marc Gasol. I'm just hoping he grows into a player. I like what I am seeing though.

solid take tbh. I heard part of the deal is he wont be stashed by the lakers once the season starts, so we'll see plenty of him.

He was supposedly a first rounder, but told teams he did not want to be stashed overseas. So he fell to LA. I'm hoping we found another 2nd round gem like Clarkson.

Tonight is the 2nd night of a B2B. I want to see how he responds.

[Raven]

:lol... are you watching the game?

how's dragan bender?

bender i've seen him play a lot in the past anyway.. he's imo in top tier talent with simmons and ingram. The potential is obvious, we'll see what he can do with it, especially on D.

D'Bust was the locked the fucked up by Mitch McConnell tonight :lol

I told you Lakers fans the lack of quickness was going to be a problem.

He's Andre Miller without the craftsmanship.

:lmao
Grow up man.

[Killakobe81]

I was being sarcastic.
Spurs wanted Nance and are one of the best teams at drafting.
Zubac is gonna be a player in a few years ...
My two biggest concerns are Randle's jumper
And Anthony Brown is a fucking scrub...
He is supposed to be our young 3 and d guy but
But he sux balls.
Cant nail open 3s and finishes at the rim like Derek Fisher at 35 years old ...and defends like nick young ...
Fuck thst guy i hope Auguste makes the team another hustle guy

McConnell did a good job of applying pressure like delly does.
He was not locked up mcconnel was battling him for sure when when chose he beat him with spins and cross overs.

[StrengthAndHonor]

Simmons has such an amazing feel for the game, I hope he can work on his jumper because he has the tools to become a transcendent player.

I was saying lebron was the better passer but i think Simmons feel for anticipation is even better than james. He has Magic bird like anticipation i was impressed ...shot is very inconsitent he needs to work with Chip tbh ...on one trip to the line his 1sr and 2nd ft looked very different ...

He has no first step. Can't get past anyone, even less-than-D-leaguers.

Yep ...he is a bust!!

You don't need explosive first step to be effective in this league. Smh

[Killakobe81]

His first step is not explosive but that doesnt mean he wont be good. Not sure he will be great but very good is definitely possible. Good is probable.

as much as i want to deny it, russell just really rubs me the wrong way...for now. of course winning cures everything :lol

yeah he does tbh, any word why he's not playing? there were rumors that he has bad work ethic.

Nance looks awesome. Good all around team-mate with a professional attitude. Another great pickup by Jim and Mitch.

[Killakobe81]

No, he has been working hard when he is not bagging his blonde fiancee ...he has been working at a rigorous sports training facilty running in sand etc.
