2017 Utah Summer League Game 1: Spurs vs Jazz - 8 p.m. CST - 4 a.m. Riga

[loveforthegame]

White is going to a welcomed addition to the bench unit. :tu

[BatManu20]

Lol Dante Exum with the lucky trash straightaway bankshot

[Mugen]

With Patty getting paid, at least Forbes isn't on the team next year right? :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Great White hope, and thankfully for us he isn't white

[NASpurs]

That should be game. Is someone starting the Official 2018 Offseason Thread yet?

[sasaint]

White is our best player so far tbh.

:tu I like what I see.

[jbspurs]

White clearly always plays under control. Big plus.

I agree, He knows when to shoot and when to pass.

[spursistan]

Warming up to mini-Fathead, tbh..

[Atl Spur]

White is a player.......period!! Bertrans will be ok also👍🏾

[spurs10]

#&&!!¥#

[BatManu20]

White's 23 he better be playing like this against kids four years younger tbh.

He turned 23 yesterday, and most of these guys are 21+... get real.

[Mr. Body]

White has a good feel for the game and is crafty. Murray is still like a rubber chicken out there.

[FkLA]

I don't see it with Forbes. Too short, too slow, too robotic with his dribble. Homeless man's Paddy.

Fathead Jr OTOH :tu

[Darius Bieber]

lmao at people who actually think that the Spurs' future is bright.

[BatManu20]

With Patty getting paid, at least Forbes isn't on the team next year right? :lol

He'll spend most of his time in Austin next year tbh.

[DPG21920]

Murray - making some good reads and passes, handle looks good in traffic and getting into the lane. Still struggles to finish and have not seen him shoot.

White - proving to be a crafty player and shot looks really solid at all levels. Hit a 3 off a pass from Murray. Hit a mid-range off his own creating of a shot. Hit a layup off a full court rebound and push. Made some good passes too.

Blossomgame - active on the glass, but lost on both ends otherwise.

Bertans - settles for 3's too much has not displayed any additions to his game yet.

[Truth4sale$]

White should start over Forbes, for the second half. Let's see what the backcourt of the future looks like, now!

[objective]

Forbes is looking like a waste of 500k of capspace

He's lucky the Spurs only care about bringing the gang back

[Mugen]

Dejounte looks solid tbh. He's just doing a little too much, making 4 or 5 moves when he's already got the advantage after 2. Just needs to be more purposeful with what he wants to do and it'll come together.

[spursistan]

Murray better be working on his shot..He is not going to control ball all the time even with Parker out for first 3 months of season..

[TimDunkem]

I don't see it with Forbes. Too short, too slow, too robotic with his dribble. Homeless man's Paddy.

Fathead Jr OTOH :tuBut he doesn't miss...In practice. :lol

Tbh, they're just doing the kid a favor by keeping him around. Don't think anyone really believes he's in the Spurs long-term plans.

[SPURt]

White looks great in this game, Blossomgame looks like an NBA rebounder with a worse shot than Rodman, the 2nd Year guys are playing like true shit. No Early or Cady. Jefferson having a good game. Overall, very underwhelming.

oh yeah, White-ington sux

[LaMarcus Bryant]

need to inject Murray with some HGH tbh give him some thick muscles

[spurs10]

Forbes?

[loveforthegame]

More Jefferson and less Whittington.

Really like what I see from White and Murray.

Also like Blossomgames activity/energy around the basket. Needs work with Chip obviously.

Bertans just going through the motions.

[I. Hustle]

need to inject Murray with some HGH tbh give him some thick muscles

Bend over, I'll give you a thick muscle.

[raybies]

yeah to piggy back on the white analysis, he just lets the game come to him. Everything comes through the flow of the game for him. Very under controlled and with great pace. He has very little weakness to his game, very fundamental. Love it.

And lol at the age thing... Malcolm won ROY, doesn't matter the age. It's if he can play and contribute and how much.

As for Murray, he's doing a good job of penetrating, people just not making shots. I mean Shayne lost the ball two times right at the rim plus the many shots missed on the kickout. I just like White's all around game. He'd make a great Simmons/Ginobili sixth man successor, potentially*

[apalisoc_9]

Great White hope, and thankfully for us he isn't white

:lol

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Bend over, I'll give you a thick muscle.

:lol

[NickiRasgo]

Well to be fair with Bertans, he can't sync yet with this lineup. Unlike last year Spurs have Kyle and Simmons who can handle the offense while Bertans waiting in the three-point territory.

[picnroll]

White's got smarts. Going to be good.

[elemento]

Fathead II looks great tbh

[FkLA]

But he doesn't miss...In practice. :lol

Tbh, they're just doing the kid a favor by keeping him around. Don't think anyone really believes he's in the Spurs long-term plans.

Youre probably right since they resigned Paddy and that's really the only role he could even be considered for. Man, he sucks though. :lol

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Craig Bolerjack kinda has a little Mean Gene Okerland to his voice

[DPG21920]

Forbes?

He did ok. Did what he normally does (look for his shot) but not much falling for him.

[loveforthegame]

I've seen enough of Whittington.

[I. Hustle]

White looks great in this game, Blossomgame looks like an NBA rebounder with a worse shot than Rodman, the 2nd Year guys are playing like true shit. No Early or Cady. Jefferson having a good game. Overall, very underwhelming.

oh yeah, White-ington sux


White's got smarts. Going to be good.


Fathead II looks great tbh

You guys are making my pants tight.

I heard good things about Blossomgame, does it look like he might be that under the radar find?

[TheGreatYacht]

If Whittington looked like Jefferson, would he be out there right now? :lol

[Mr. Body]

It would be nice of Bertans had any sort of inside presence on defense whatsoever. A block. A rebound. Anything.

[FkLA]

#45 sucks

[TimDunkem]

White's speed has been a pleasant surprise so far, tbh. He gets to the rim pretty easily.

[Rito3d30]

wow Bertans just keeps chucking shots

[DPG21920]

Dude Bertans is just stand still chucking and doing nothing else. Wow. Really poor game from him.

[Russ]

Fathead II looks great tbh

Fathead may have to give up his nickname.

[TheGreatYacht]

Wittington -22 now

anytime this guy is in there, Jazz go on runs :lmao

[loveforthegame]

Chucking 3's. :vomit:

[picnroll]

God this Spurs team sucks. Just jacking up 3s and frigging Murray won't try a pull up j to save his life.

[TimDunkem]

You guys are making my pants tight.

I heard good things about Blossomgame, does it look like he might be that under the radar find?Has the tools but he's clearly raw as fuck right now. Competes hard though. Dunno. Maybe he's just having a bad game.

[Mr. Body]

Fathead may have to give up his nickname.

Kyle Anderson would be the best player out here.

[Big Empty]

Everytime i see Forbes i can hear that "whoop that trick" song from that movie

[NickiRasgo]

Mitchell can ball.

[Mr. Body]

Dude Bertans is just stand still chucking and doing nothing else. Wow. Really poor game from him.

I mean, do you think he can do anything else?

[Nathan89]

Bertans is shooting from long distance tonight. Goodness try getting closer to the three pt line.

[xellos88330]

I have not seen one post up play by the Spurs. Lol! It is all perimeter garbage.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Murray may already be a TOSB

[DPG21920]

Murray again not really able to get a clean look off the dribble. Leads to a fast break.

[NickiRasgo]

Streaming link here is allowed?

i.e. So far no big surprises

[Mr. Body]

Not a bad look by Murray.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bertans just praying a rebounds falls on his hands

[GB20]

we need white out there with murray.

[loveforthegame]

Whittington has no clue.

[TimDunkem]

Bertans just praying a rebounds falls on his hands
Guy literally watched a rebound fall to the ground before he attempted to grab it earlier. He doesn't even attempt to compete for rebounds.

[TheGreatYacht]

Whittington sucks at anything he does

[Truth4sale$]

Someone tell Djounte make the basic play or ride the bench next to POP next year. Stop trying to be so fancy.

[Russ]

Murray is dribbling too much. He needs to penetrate or pass -- he's good at both.

[Rito3d30]

SEND SHITTINGTON TO THE GOD DAMN BENCH PLEASEEEEEE

[FkLA]

Has DJ even scored yet?

[loveforthegame]

Nice hustle by Murray.

[BatManu20]

There you go Murray.

[Truth4sale$]

Much better Djounte. Great defense

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Where the fuck is White, is this coach asleep

[TheGreatYacht]

Jazz traded their late first round pick and Trash Lyles to move up to #13 and draft Mitchell.... Buford otoh was trading his money for a pack of beer

[Snaq O'Meal]

Wittington -22 now

anytime this guy is in there, Jazz go on runs :lmao

So, can we call him Wayne Shittington already?

Or Shit Waitingtohappen?

[DPG21920]

Murray has struggled but he's battling.

[Russ]

Spurs way too relaxed and cool. They need Becky to kick butt.

[cd98]

So when exactly is Parker going to be back?

[keithington1]

Interesting their playing white as a 6th man.

[sasaint]

I've seen enough of Whittington.

Too much, tbh. Need to see more Jefferson and LJC. Jefferson might have a shot at a two-way deal.

[apalisoc_9]

If Whittington looked like Jefferson, would he be out there right now? :lol

Dude looks so trash its unreal. :lol

[cd98]

So glad Spurs are passing on Hill. Our guards have us covered.

[FkLA]

So when exactly is Parker going to be back?

He's done.

[DPG21920]

Mitchell has given everyone the business.

[DPG21920]

There are obviously going to be growing pains with no TP at the PG position for the Spurs. Just have to keep giving Murray opportunity.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Someone tell Djounte make the basic play or ride the bench next to POP next year. Stop trying to be so fancy.

Being fancy is Murray's forte.

If PATFO wanted a boring block of fundamental muscles, they would've picked Brogdon the Spurs fan.

[SPURt]

You guys are making my pants tight.

I heard good things about Blossomgame, does it look like he might be that under the radar find?
He has an NBA skill but is contributing nothing outside of rebounding

[Chinook]

Blossomgame has that LDN dribble going on.

[TheGreatYacht]

Someone photoshop Kawhi in this b

http://i.onionstatic.com/avclub/6315/11/16x9/1200.jpg

[LaMarcus Bryant]

:lol damn blossomgame has no clue how to finish

[Russ]

Bertans thinks he's Curry. Shooting from way too far (but he made it).

[Robz4000]

Can't watch the game. Anyone have cliff notes?

[apalisoc_9]

RC Buford and Pop bare probably going to take credit for another kawhi led season. :lmao

[Russ]

Can't watch the game. Anyone have cliff notes?

Romeo commits suicide.

[LakerHater]

Wtf Jefferson shooting 3s!?

[CGD]

Bert just going through motions

[TheGreatYacht]

Dejounte Murray, Davis Bertans, Bryn Forbes, Jaron Blossomgame, Derrick White + Danny green, Fatty Mills, Lamarsha Aldridge, Fathead Sr

Kawhi-bye-bye

[Mr. Body]

Can't watch the game. Anyone have cliff notes?

Murray has done some decent things but was terrible early on defense. He's been fairly low impact.

Bertans has been pretty lousy. Chucking and missing, no impact inside on defense on the boards or defending the rim. A non-entity who misses shots.

White has had some good flashes.

Utah has a real player in Mitchell. Exum looks like he might be pretty good, but then our guards can't keep anyone out of the lane.

[LakerHater]

:lol damn blossomgame has no clue how to finish
1st game, looks like shit!

[TimDunkem]

Didn't Mr.Fat Body say this draft was shit beyond the first few picks? Mitchell is easily outplaying the entire Spurs team. :lol

[Russ]

I like this White boy.

[loveforthegame]

Can't watch the game. Anyone have cliff notes?

White is the real deal. Plays the game the right way.

Murray is aggressive. His penetration and kick out is on point. Still having trouble finishing at the rim though.

Whittington sucks. Eww.

Jefferson looks solid.

Blossomgame is a rebounder. Needs work elesewhere though.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

White got good instincts to pass to open man. Will be a solid bench player.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

White the only Spur with a +8. All others of consequence are very, very negative.

[TheGreatYacht]

I like this White boy.
That's a first one in the NBA

[TheGreatYacht]

Why is Hanlan out there? Is Buford trying to prove he didn't get cucked in the Diaw trade?

[Russ]

Forbes really struggles in the mid-range.

[Mr. Body]

Didn't Mr.Fat Body say this draft was shit beyond the first few picks? Mitchell is easily outplaying the entire Spurs team. :lol

No, I said the whole draft was generally shit and they have been for years, although there are some good players here or there. And read what you just said, moron. What does that say about the Spurs?

[TimDunkem]

Face it, Mr.Fat Body, your player analysis sucks. :lmao

[DPG21920]

This is brutal to watch tbh.

[keithington1]

Give the ball to White and get out the way

[Truth4sale$]

White gets beaten defensively, frequently. So much for being a defensive asset.
'

[cd98]

Granted Jazz are playing a home game, but still.

[sasaint]

Forbes really struggles in the mid-range.

Everybody in black is struggling from every range.

[Russ]

Spurs got a dude with a man-bun.

[TheGreatYacht]

Jazz traded their late first round pick and Trash Lyles to move up to #13 and draft Mitchell....

Buford otoh was trading his money for a pack of beer

[benefactor]

Ah summer league...never change, ST.

[Truth4sale$]

Mitchell is having his way with the Spurs, he is either that good or the Spurs guards are that bad.

[SAGirl]

Murray has done some decent things but was terrible early on defense. He's been fairly low impact.

Bertans has been pretty lousy. Chucking and missing, no impact inside on defense on the boards or defending the rim. A non-entity who misses shots.

Good review.
Encouraging showing from White IMO.

What is the point of playing the 30 yr old blonde chick?

[Mr. Body]

Face it, Mr.Fat Body, your player analysis sucks. :lmao

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[tonight...you]

Ah summer league...never change, ST.

[Mr. Body]

Mitchell is having his way with the Spurs, he is either that good or the Spurs guards are that bad.

He looks good. The Spurs guards are terrible.

[GSH]

The biggest disappointment of the night, for me, was Bertans.

The guards were sort of as expected.

[TheGreatYacht]

What is the point of playing the 30 yr old blonde chick?
He's white. Just the type of player SL coach Will Hardy likes

[coachmac87]

Donovan Mitchell is a legit player and proves to be legit top 10 talent.

Murray still seems to struggle to find his game...he's playing too much street ball out there..

[Russ]

It's out of reach -- Spurs resting their first team for the next game.

[tonight...you]

That pack of beer sounds good, right about now...

[TheGreatYacht]

He's white. Just the type of player SL coach Will Hardy likes
Holy shit I was joking, but he's literally playing all the white guys at the same time right now :lol ... even Derrick White and Forbes, who are the closest to fitting the description

[Rito3d30]

Which one is more embarrassing
Last year's Lorbek or this year's Shittington

[Mr. Body]

I just don't see it with Bertans. I like Murray but he's light years away. White should dig out a place in the rotation. The rest of the players look as bad as any SL guys this team has put together.

[SAGirl]

The biggest disappointment of the night, for me, was Bertans.

The guards were sort of as expected.
Bertans can get hot in a hurry and just as well bounce back shooting wise... but it's really the rest of his game. I don't see him starting if all he is is a glass cannon. Hopefully he intends to show other things too. He can be better.

[TimDunkem]

Which one is more embarrassing
Last year's Lorbek or this year's Shittington Shittington. At least Lorbek had the excuse that he's a TOSB.

[Russ]

White has that Stephen A. Smith hairline.

[DPG21920]

The biggest disappointment of the night, for me, was Bertans.

The guards were sort of as expected.

Just a really bad night on both ends for Bertans. Shockingly bad.

[MVPCues]

Pat he tic.

[LakerHater]

Is Early not available?

[cd98]

Murray struggled today but fortunately he won't have to go up against G League players when the NBA regular season starts.

[SAGirl]

Which one is more embarrassing
Last year's Lorbek or this year's Shittington
I don't know that's a race but we got more Whittington than we saw of Lorbek... so it has to be Whittington. At least last season's coaches spared Lorbek much humiliation.

[sasaint]

The biggest disappointment of the night, for me, was Bertans.

The guards were sort of as expected.

Toss-up, for me: Bertans and Murray.

After a year on the Spurs? I'd say. I know he spent time on doghouse duty, but he's a very experienced guy. I was hoping to see him come out aggressive and show that he's at another level. I don't mind missed shots. He was just not good,

[Mr. Body]

Bertans can get hot in a hurry and just as well bounce back shooting wise... but it's really the rest of his game. I don't see him starting if all he is is a glass cannon. Hopefully he intends to show other things too. He can be better.

Yes, he's pretty one dimensional. Needs a counter when they chase him off the three point line. Bonner developed a little runner.

[GSH]

Toss-up, for me: Bertans and Murray.


I understand, Murray did enough, though, to give me hope he's just rusty.

[HarlemHeat37]

I've never seen him get hot. Ever.

Ya, he only shot 40% from 3 against actual NBA competition:lol smh..

[DPG21920]

Bertans has shown he has other stuff to his game - like passing. He was just being so damn lazy and doing nothing but chucking long 3's. Not even trying to create any other offense.

Then he was completely disengaged on defense as well.

[xellos88330]

Lol! Nice work Spurs! Way to be allergic to scoring.

I'm too worn out reacting to some of these guys to even bother anymore. Shooting 40% from 3 doesn't matter, he can't shoot the three. :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Forbes and Bertans pulled a Kobe and went a combined 6/24 smh...

[Mr. Body]

Ya, he only shot 40% from 3 against actual NBA competition:lol smh..

Hitting shots here or there is nice. We were talking about getting hot. Going on a string of hits.

[Mugen]

Blow it up. :lol

[DPG21920]

TBH - even as good as White looked in moments, the only one that flashed any true potential was Murray and it was just that; flashes.

Lol..........really? Please get ahold of your emotions😳 Bertrans is one of the best pure shooters. Youtube him

[TimDunkem]

Ya, he only shot 40% from 3 against actual NBA competition:lol smh..
Mr.Fat Body is a fucking idiot and his player analysis is amongst the worst on this forum and that's saying something. Bertans has hit 5 threes in a game several times, 4 several times, had 21 in 18 minutes against the Hornets, had a big game against the athletic Bucks, and shot 40% for the season.

What a fucking retard. :lol

[Atl Spur]

TBH - even as good as White looked in moments, the only one that flashed any true potential was Murray and it was just that; flashes.

White will be fine once pop chews that ass!! Defense and effort better increase though

[SPURt]

Will Hardy is freaking awful. Mitchell was legit. Someone needs to make sure to keep sharp objects away from Kawhi.

[DPG21920]

White will be fine once pop chews that ass!! Defense and effort better increase though

I'm very happy with how White played tonight - its just that even with him playing well I didn't see a ton of potential or upside but who knows.

Murray didn't play well but you can see talent.

[GSH]

TBH - even as good as White looked in moments, the only one that flashed any true potential was Murray and it was just that; flashes.


Mitchell has a lot of confidence. White has to figure out that he really belongs. I was okay with it, being his first game and all. How many days has it been since the draft? He's still taking it all in, I'm sure.

[Atl Spur]

Bryn gonna find his overseas if he don't get his stuff together

[Atl Spur]

Mitchell has a lot of confidence. White has to figure out that he really belongs. I was okay with it, being his first game and all. How many days has it been since the draft? He's still taking it all in, I'm sure.

This

[sasaint]

I understand, Murray did enough, though, to give me hope he's just rusty.

So much hoopla about Murray's spending every day in the gym that I expected Dijon to look like a pro not a fellow G-leaguer. I was really stunned by his continuing recklessness with the ball. Behind the back bounce passes to opponents for snowballs will get him buried on Pop's bench.

[picnroll]

White will probably earn the starting PG role sometime this season unless Spurs bring in another PG. if Murray's been working on his shot he sure didn't show it.

[Nathan89]

White will nice in functioning ball movement offense. Hopefully we can add a healthy Splitter to the team.

[GSH]

I'm very happy with how White played tonight - its just that even with him playing well I didn't see a ton of potential or upside but who knows.

Murray didn't play well but you can see talent.


I know what you're saying. But remember last year SL? Murray was just free-wheeling. White is going to be one of those guys, I think, who tries to be really careful and do everything right. Different personalities, different styles. At least White didn't get his pocket picked all night. He finished with 2 TO's, and I think one of those was a careless pass.

[james evans]

I've never seen him get hot. Ever.
well, you're full of shit haha. Even if you don't watch every game as most of us do, a simple youtube search would do so you could act like you know what you're talking about as some people do.

[sasaint]

I'm very happy with how White played tonight - its just that even with him playing well I didn't see a ton of potential or upside but who knows.

Murray didn't play well but you can see talent.

Same comments we made last SL. I expected more - even in game 1. After all, he was getting significant time against the Warriors just a few weeks ago.

[james evans]

White will probably earn the starting PG role sometime this season unless Spurs bring in another PG.
it will be someone over the age of 30 that's aging of course

[TimDunkem]

The playoffs ended like a month ago...

[sasaint]

White will nice in functioning ball movement offense. Hopefully we can add a healthy Splitter to the team.

If we sign Splitter and he remains healthy next season, we would look back on this off-season quite differently than we currently see it.

[SuperCam]

goes to show spurfan overvalues their own assets every year. a couple of people in the offseason thread talking like murray was untouchable :lol

[wildbill2u]

Fastest defender on the Spurs tonite was that guy Oliver Hanlan. Blossinggame had no game that was visible. We could trade Murray and keep White without losing anything.

I liked what I saw from White for his first pro game. He barely knows our system and had a more efficient game than Murray. It will be interesting to see him grow as he learns and plays more. I was disappointed in Murray. He's still too careless with the basketball and plays the game like he's at Rucker park. He needs to value the basketball more and start playing like he's taking the game very seriously. I didn't see much competitiveness from Murray at all. I'm not concerned about Bertans. He's proven. These games are just for him to stay sharp and try to expand his game.

[sasaint]

The playoffs ended like a month ago...

Meaning Dijon is rusty? Like everybody else. Rookies' last college games were months ago.

[GSH]

Same comments we made last SL. I expected more - even in game 1. After all, he was getting significant time against the Warriors just a few weeks ago.


I remember Murray's first few SL games like yesterday. One big difference tonight was that he had 5 AST, and no RB's. Last year he was all about shooting. And shooting. And rebounding. And shooting.

Mitchell had a great opener tonight. Without him, it likely would have looked like the typical slop-fest of summer league. Especially early summer league. Mitchell dominated, and that changed the look of their whole team.

[Hoops Czar]

Blossomgame, Bertans and Forbes were a combined 6-32 from the field. The future looks bright.

[SAGirl]

If blossomgame has no offense whatsoever he's going to the dleague in a two way contract.

[Mr. Body]

So much hoopla about Murray's spending every day in the gym that I expected Dijon to look like a pro not a fellow G-leaguer. I was really stunned by his continuing recklessness with the ball. Behind the back bounce passes to opponents for snowballs will get him buried on Pop's bench.

He was pretty disappointing. He looked pretty similar to what he was a year ago.

[GSH]

Bertans has hit 5 threes in a game several times, 4 several times, 3 many times, had 21 in 18 minutes missing only one shot, had big games against the Bucks, and shot 40% from three but he can't shoot and he's never seen him get hot? What a fucking moron. :lmao



If you're including me in that... oh fuck it. You're right. I was saying that Bertans never got hot, and really can't shoot the three. That's exactly what I said. You're right, I'm wrong. Carry on.

[SAGirl]

Nah you actually are not looking in the right direction. Kyle a 23 yr old forward that's 6'9" has gotten real nba minutes and was the leading scorer of elimination game was given away for peanuts by half the board.

[sasaint]

White will probably earn the starting PG role sometime this season unless Spurs bring in another PG. if Murray's been working on his shot he sure didn't show it.

Or his handles/taking care of the ball. I've calling for handing him the keys since the middle of last season, and I was expecting him to look like a man. Maybe next game...

[TimDunkem]

Utah had 3 guys in lane on Murrays drives in PnRs. He read the D extremely well. He had 14 assist opportunities and his teammates finished 5 of them.

White has a very tight, clean game. Hes going to make Patty expendable by the end of this season.

[GSH]

We knew Blossomgame wasn't a shooter. He's GOT to do something about that. But he can rebound, which is no small thing. And I don't think he'll go 0-for-the-world once the rookie jitters are past. If he can set decent screens, and finish the bunnies, he'll look a lot better than this, at least. But he's GOT to develop some kind of shot. We pretty much knew that when they drafted him.

[GSH]

Brah, I'm saying Mr.Fat Body is an idiot. :lol I can see why you misunderstood though. My bad.

No prob. I'm just really worn out with some of the ridiculous hyperbolic comments. My problem, not yours.

Disagree on Bertans ... He's proven he can shoot in the NBA and nit much else. If he had nothing to work on he wouldn't be in this games/league and also, as soon as shows he too good for this league they will send him home. Part of the reason he was benched in the season was defense and rebounding. He probably needs to show some improvements.

[Mr. Body]

Mr.Fat Body is a fucking idiot and his player analysis is amongst the worst on this forum and that's saying something. Bertans has hit 5 threes in a game several times, 4 several times, had 21 in 18 minutes against the Hornets, had a big game against the athletic Bucks, and shot 40% for the season.

What a fucking retard. :lol

Guess I missed these games against the Bobcats and the Bucks. Go jack off to pictures of Bertans, you little simp.

:lol Bobcats. But, yeah, you're totally right, retard. Bertans has never gotten hot.

:lmao Shitty player analyst.

[Russ]

White has a lot of control, a lot of savvy.

Murray is bounding around out there like a puppy -- he has potential but needs to be more in charge as a point guard.

[cd98]

Props to White. He did ok in a summer league game. He and Murray are shaping up to be back end of the bench PG in the NBA. But I like White more than Murray. White doesn't play like he's entitled.

[Mr. Body]

Well, your butt buddy sure as hell fucking sucked tonight. :lol

[raybies]

Murray with 16 minutes. I think the coaches were playing it safe with him to protect against injuries. Don't want to lose your probable starting point in the summer. Also would explain the lazy D.

But to be fair he played fine with perspective. He wasn't looking for his shot as much as he was trying to hit the open man. If he starts he's not gonna be a premier option so it seemed like the agenda was to play the pick and look for the dish. He did great at that and probably could have gotten 10 assists if people hit their shots or didn't fumble the ball. Yes the flashiness is a little annoying and he should do it less as he matures. He's young.

He finished 6 points, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 3 to's in 16 minutes. Not bad. The defense was awful though.

[Ice009]

This off-season just gets worse and worse by the minute.

Looks like they're going to have to desperately overpay for Simmons.

[DPG21920]

I was not happy with Murray overall. His vision was solid and made good passes, but none of the issues that he had last season appear to be resolved: Shooting (didn't really get to see), finishing in the paint (still could not finish and didn't see any other moves other than that tough floater he loves) & defensive positioning.

His handle is still high, but improved from what I could see and his vision was very solid. But need to see more in the above 3 areas for me to really gain optimism.

Obviously things will be masked playing with Danny/Kawhi backing you up in the NBA but he needs to learn to finish in traffic. Just as much as shooting that will be so big for him as his skill is getting into the lane.

[tmtcsc]

882085780440588288

He got plenty of minutes to show something. He made some nice passes to the perimeter but the squad couldn't hit anything out there. He needs to play with more control. White looked more poised out there than Murray. Dejounte looked wild.

Hanlan, who?, 16 minutes

Murray w/ 16 minutes

I'd be pissed too. Will Hardy is the Jim Boylen of the summer league

[DPG21920]

Im fine with mistakes, especially for Murray. You don't become great by being risk adverse. I just want to see improvement in the key areas.

White is really already a solid player but I just question how much impact he could really have vs NBA players. But one big plus for me with White was how good he was off the ball. He basically played off the ball the entire time and showed great feel for sliding into good spots, cutting, etc..He was easily the best off the ball player on the floor for SA.

Maybe his role will be his ability to be the secondary creator, like Kyle Anderson, once the ball is swung with his ability to shoot and dribble. He's not a PG but he's solid enough when a defense is rotating to make moves with the ball and finish or dish.

Imagine if Danny had that skillset. It would be huge. We will have to see if White can actually defend worth a damn, but if he can, that secondary creator/shooter is pretty nice to have.

Lots of guys get drafted for that reason: Evan Turner, Denzel Valentine, etc...

[ernest787]

if danny could dribble the ball he'd be paid twice as much as he is now.

I didn't get to see the game but White sounds promising. The second unit desperately needs someone that will be able to handle the ball and run the offense, especially if Manu doesn't come back.

You mean getting the ball with 14 seconds and holding it then dribbling into defenders because he can't beat them one on one then taking a bad shot. Ok. :lol

That is some try hard stuff right there. Anderson has uses, he's never been a regular rotation player. Has had more opportunity than any other young player on the team. Hit the brakes there.

Pretty square on target. The only thing I'd say is that, other than a few super-stars, nobody finishes well in the half court going 1-on-3. What I'm seeing out of Murray is a lack of court awareness. A lot of the time he doesn't know when he takes off if he's heading to the hole, or driving to draw attention so he can kick to a teammate. By the time he figures it out, it's too late.

Last year I questioned whether they should use him as a slashing 2 guard. I'm still convinced he can be a very good slasher. Not everybody has the court awareness to play the point, and not many can learn it. He's young, and I'm far from writing him off at any position. But I think that's where he really has to improve, to be an NBA-level PG. I think his handles are good enough, if he's not pushing himself into bad situations so often. IMO, FWIW, Etc.

[DPG21920]

I agree with that. His vision actually gives me optimism that he can play point.

Dude wasn't cracking the rotation until Kawhi and parker got hurt. He had 2 good games in the playoffs and one is a game when the spurs were down 0-3 and severally out matched.

The best thing I can say from that is that Kyle at least continued to play, but to make that your calling card for him is just silly.

Its been 5 weeks from when the season ended. Its impossible to make real big gains in 5 weeks. After July, he'll have 3 months to work until the real lights come on.

Patience.

[GSH]

I agree with that. His vision actually gives me optimism that he can play point.


You remember watching him in last year's SL? Very, very aggressive - but sort of a black hole? I don't think it's a coincidence that he had 5 dimes tonight. And he'd likely have had more if guys had made some shots.

It looks like they've got him working at being a real point. When you're still having to think about things, you're going to look a little hesitant and out of rhythm. He wasn't a black hole, and it looks like he's working on exactly the things the Spurs need most from him. As long as he's improving, that's what SL is all about for guys who already have contracts.

[DPG21920]
