Summer League Game Thread - Sir’Jabari’s Debut - Spurs vs. Pistons — 7/14/2023 — 8:00pm CST on ESPN

[BatManu20]

Go time boys. Game has been moved to ESPN @ 8:00pm**

No Malaki Branham tonight either. Spurs have shut him down for SL. That means 20+ shot attempts for Champagnie and more opportunities for Barlow and Wesley. And finally the debut of my boy Sir’Jabari Rice.

Let’s get it.

Best sports story for Spurs would be the fall in 2013 and the redemption of 2014.

[Russ]

Spurs probably need to win by about 25 to have a realistic shot of moving through to the four team playoff.

But it looks like they're mailing it in if they're shutting Branham down.

[Chinook]

Really annoyed that the Spurs keep throwing games away. Dont5eanna play Wemby because he just came off a post-season? Okay. But give the guys a chance to win. The Spurs have gotten way too cautious over the last decade or so, and I'm not sure the evidence is out there that it's helped them.

Obviously if Bran is banged up that's a different story. Just can't be resting guys in the summer league.

[spurraider21]

how can they feel so good about bran after an up and down summer league? even last game was a tale of two halves. this guy needs all the reps he can get. im still not sure he looks all that different from last year. hes averaging 5 more ppg from last year's summer league but on worse efficiency.

He didn’t have an up and down summer league. I don’t understand the obsession with continuing to mischaracterize reality. He had one bad game. He actually had a great summer league and what really looked like an anomalous game.

He was already a rotation player. Sure he needed the reps and work but I think there was more than enough of a sample size to shut him down.

Other guys need reps too and everyone including us has a pretty good idea where he’s at.

he was in the rotation on a tanking team, but his metrics is a player last yer was abysmal. which is fine/understandable given the lack of talent around him and his being a rookie and all. need to see a lot of improvement from him on both ends, more summer league reps could only help

[Mr. Body]

I dunno, Malaki looks much different than he did a year ago. It seems clear they wanted to work on specific things this summer league and like where he is. There's no reason to keep going - there's a whole season ahead.

Putting aside the game he struggled - and again I think he was thrown off trying to adjust to help Wembanyama, and a big story will be fitting everyone together in the season - he had periods where he was ripping teams up. The 'tale of two halves' complaint doesn't make sense, because even the best players in league aren't dominant throughout every game, plus he was exploding in the second half (of at least two games).

What is notable to me the most is how he was stepping into, taking in movement, and just letting rip three pointers and hitting them really well. The two non-shooting things I want him to work on most is impacting the game outside of shooting stats, primarily rebounds, and improving his defense. But as far as offense goes, slamming those threes was his big next step and it was happening here. He hit at a really high rate, wasn't hesitating, and doing it moving into the shots and not just as a standstill shooter.

If Branham is going to be a major threat off the bench, and I believe that's the goal, then this showed a taste of his development.

That’s essentially my complaint when analyzing this guy. The popular consensus here always seems to be driven by negative connotations rather than an honest reconciliation of the full context of the team. Even while you alluded to that.

I see an improved player. He’s playing with confidence and looks like a guy who’s made something out last year’s experience.

im glad he's improved. do you think he's good enough to the point where there is nothing he can get out of summer league? im not convinced of that

They have a lot more data points than just his summer league and regular season games. The front office views these games as next to useless.

[Mr. Body]

In case y’all needed a reason to hate OKC fans.

1679714489946472450

This is really common among Thunder fans right now. There's a Little Brother syndrome going on. They're used to being adored and obsessed over for their trove of draft picks, SGA, and their history of having Durant/Westbrook/Harden and being "full of promise." They can't stand attention being driven away from them. Very very common to hear "Chet is greater than Victor" stuff right now.

[Mr. Body]

im glad he's improved. do you think he's good enough to the point where there is nothing he can get out of summer league? im not convinced of that

Another game isn't going to do anything.

In fact, shutting a player down is sort of a diploma, a sign of 'good job, you did it' and that has an impact on a guy.

[Mugen]

In case y’all needed a reason to hate OKC fans.

1679714489946472450

First - this is exactly how I picture OKC fans :lol

Second - what a f'n take. Wemby doesn't have the mental fortitude to stay healthy but Chet who literally just missed his entire rookie season does and is going to eat him up? :lol

[Joseph Kony]

no to mention Chet (what a faggy name btw) hurt his wittle foot in a fucking meaningless pickup game on a non-contact play :lmao the audacity of these meth smokers

imo just straight up racist shit they are talking

[RC_Drunkford]

In case y’all needed a reason to hate OKC fans.

1679714489946472450

they still don't seem to understand that Wemby is the superior player and will outplay Chet every time. They are gonna hate us :lol

[BacktoBasics]

im glad he's improved. do you think he's good enough to the point where there is nothing he can get out of summer league? im not convinced of that

I think he did what was asked of him and it’s not just his summer league. It’s not like he’s going on vacation.

I don't know why fans don't want Mal in SA working out with Victor and the rest of the vets.

[Mr. Body]

I don't know why fans don't want Mal in SA working out with Victor and the rest of the vets.

Honestly I think people just want to see these guys play which is fair.

[Obstructed_View]

Honestly I think people just want to see these guys play which is fair.
Yeah so do I and the next three months after SL are gonna suck without ball to watch. Everyone needs to learn to play with Victor and we all know it, though.

Their jealousy is off the charts. Victor is living rent free in their drugged up, feeble minds.

[heyheymymy]

kinda crazy how for all the talent OKC only won 1 conf champ

what a waste

What meth does to a mf

Meth was the very first word that came to mind

[spurraider21]

what a waste
shoulda been 2, but blew the 3-1 lead to GSW

GSW then returned the favor and blew the 3-1 to lebron

I never realized your mentality is the primary risk factor to getting an ACL tear. Should write a paper about it.

[Obstructed_View]

Don't know who is watching the other games, but I like Jared Dudley as a coach. :lol

[heyheymymy]

lol Dudley that's a name I haven't heard in a while haha

Those 2010 Suns swept us, what a low point I remember watching that series and feeling so deflated

[Uriel]

Somewhere in an alternate universe, we're debating about where Ausar Thompson fits in our wing rotation and planning another year of tanking :lol

[ace3g]

Spurs need to win big tonight because their win differential is only 4.7 points.

[ace3g]

No Champagnie....

[lefty20]

No Champ in the SL?

[lefty20]

Max Barlow if we drags this squad to the W, tbh.

[heyheymymy]

Blake's big night?

[Uriel]

Even Champ has been shut down :lol

[ace3g]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F1ChtpvWAAAnNYC?format=jpg&name=large

Nice spin move by Barlow.

[TekXX]

LOL why did they invite Stevensen?

[onechance87]

stevenson is so bad

[Uriel]

RJ: "Arizona is in the Ivy League of the West." :lol

[BackHome]

What’s up with all the DNP?

[Uriel]

I would've liked to see Rice start and take Branham's spot in the rotation, and for Champagnie to continue playing. This team looks completely overmatched.

[onechance87]

escort steveson out the building now

[Mr. Body]

I would've liked to see Rice start and take Branham's spot in the rotation, and for Champagnie to continue playing. This team looks completely overmatched.

You have money on the game or something?

[spurraider21]

someone tell the FO that we dont have to tank anymore

[spurraider21]

I would've liked to see Rice start and take Branham's spot in the rotation, and for Champagnie to continue playing. This team looks completely overmatched.
rice isnt going to waltz into the starting lineup after not having played a minute to date

[mikec]

nice finish by Barlow

[ace3g]

Sir'Jabari got that assist to Barlow with the infamous pump fake.

[spurraider21]

theres the pump fake

[playblair]

rice first touch made an impact........rice is going to get main roster minutes he is too good for g league.......

[Uriel]

You have money on the game or something?
Yes.

[mikec]

Barlow cooking right now. Nice!!!

[ace3g]

Barlow nice baseline drive and the and-1!!!

[lefty20]

jfc, we're looking like Hornets out there

[Obstructed_View]

Bediako is a deer.

[ace3g]

Sir'Jabari just knighted the defense on that floater!!!

[playblair]

jabari is an nba player......

[spurraider21]

:lol bediako lookin like

https://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1060412/sYYgS.gif

[TekXX]

ok you go Rice

[ace3g]

Weird Al misses but Barlow cleans up with the dunk!!!

[mikec]

BARLOW FINISH!!!!!!!!!!! JAM!!

[SpursFan86]

Rice looks solid man. Just the way he’s communicating and moving out there…looks like he belongs.

[Degoat]

Sir’Jabari looks pretty good out there, not fazed by it being his first game.

[Obstructed_View]

theres the pump fake

Damn. I missed it.

[Chomag]

Barlow proving his case for rotational minutes.

[BatManu20]

Sir’Jabari already commanding the offense :cry

[Uriel]

LaMarcus Barlow :wow

[spurraider21]

Damn. I missed it.
1680022620530515970

[Mr. Body]

Rice looks solid man. Just the way he’s communicating and moving out there…looks like he belongs.

He looks like a natural point.

[td4mvp2k]

Sir’Jabari already commanding the offense :cry
hope wesley learning how its done right now

[mystargtr34]

1679898557262749696

Is that Tim Duncan or CJ McCollum

[spurraider21]

barlow having a great game so far

rice looks really comfortable and mature out there. he is 24, so pretty old compared to most summer league guys, but nice that he looks this smooth in his first game

[Mr. Body]

I know it'd be cool to see Champ again but we've got what we need from him.

Now the team can see other players and the big squad guys have to figure out where the points come from without Branham and Julian shooting.

[TekXX]

God Jefferson is annoying

[Obstructed_View]

1680022620530515970

I saw the play. I now realize that I literally missed it. :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

What’s up with all the DNP?

:pop: "Julian needs rest"

[Mr. Body]

Rice shows how Wesley struggles running a team.

[BatManu20]

Sir’Jabari making all the right reads like a true PG.

[ace3g]

missed FTs and giving up 3 pointers...

[spurraider21]

I saw the play. I now realize that I literally missed it. :lol
your view was probably obstructed

[Obstructed_View]

Rice looks like a good passer and he's playing his ass off on defense.

[TekXX]

Ok Rice is the backup

[Chomag]

I'm sorry to those Wesley fans but I think Rice has better court vision then he does.

[Obstructed_View]

your view was probably obstructed
Lol maybe. I think he was just too slick.

[ace3g]

Guard the 3 point line...

[TekXX]

That bitch joey Crawford is still involved in the NBA?

[spurraider21]

rice getting to the rim would be a very welcome part of his game

but my god... bediako :lol

[Dejounte]

SJR can run the pick and roll really, really well

[Obstructed_View]

I'm sorry to those Wesley fans but I think Rice has better court vision then he does.

I love Blake buy there is no doubt.

[Chomag]

Rice is more what we call a true PG, not like a player being forced to be 1 like Wesley.

[TekXX]

Rice looks like those point guard.

[onechance87]

man would love to see rice more....Sucks if this is the only game he plays

[BatManu20]

Detroit likely wins this game cause we’re sitting our guys, but I still wanna see us execute our sets, even if they do end in Bediako missing layups, throwing up wild shots, or fumbling the ball out of bounds :lol

[spurraider21]

as far as i know, rice never really played PG in college, so its kind of impressive how smooth an operator he looks out there. looks more like a point guard than primo ever did

[Biggems]

So, Longhorns Homer here....and 11 is my favorite number. I am glad Rice, the Longhorn, is wearing 11.

[spurraider21]

Lol maybe. I think he was just too slick.
thought the pun was pretty obvious

[Obstructed_View]

So, Longhorns Homer here....and 11 is my favorite number. I am glad Rice, the Longhorn, is wearing 11.
I hate all things TU, but Rice looks terrific.

[spurraider21]

nice pass by cissoko, but couldn't he have just gone up for the reverse layup?

[TekXX]

Detroit jacking up threes like their playing in NBA game.

[SpursFan86]

Nice and-1 by Wesley, crafty finish

[Obstructed_View]

Detroit jacking up threes like their playing in NBA game.
They're. So. Open. :lol

[Uriel]

I think Blake is trying too hard to act like a pass-first type PG, rather than being what he is, which is a score-first combo guard.

[spurraider21]

nice play by blake. much better than the lazy midrange pullup he had a couple possessions ago

[Chomag]

Wtf was that Wesley lol

[BackHome]

I like Blake but he is trying way to hard

[Seventyniner]

So, Longhorns Homer here....and 11 is my favorite number. I am glad Rice, the Longhorn, is wearing 11.

Reminds me of a Rice grad and NBA champion who wore #11 for the Spurs.

he played on and off the ball during his time at UT

[RC_Drunkford]

Wesley in the pick & roll: runs into Barlow :lol

[Obstructed_View]

That was comically bad by Wesley.

[Obstructed_View]

His court vision. Man.

[BatManu20]

as far as i know, rice never really played PG in college, so its kind of impressive how smooth an operator he looks out there. looks more like a point guard than primo ever did

I’m a diehard Texas fan and watched almost every game. He was definitely a secondary ball-handler at times, particularly when our PG Marcus Carr was on the bench, but he was never the primary ball-handler, mostly because Carr was already established as a 4th year player, whereas Jabari was a 1st-year transfer, and he played well off-ball anyways.

Jabari came off the bench off for us last year in a Manu-type role and was our second leading scorer. He was also by far our most clutch shooter, and always finished the game on the floor, similar to Manu. But he definitely has natural PG abilities, despite the fact he didn’t get to showcase as much as I’m sure he would’ve liked due to our roster situation.

[spurraider21]

do the spurs even pick up wesley's 3rd year option, tbh? :lol

[Chomag]

I just don't understand trying to make Wesley into a pg. He has absolutely 0 pg instincts to work with.

[BatManu20]

Wesley all over the place right now :lol

[TekXX]

Ok why is Sidy trying to pass the ball after getting the whistle.

[Robz4000]

Think I'm officially in the Wesley isn't a PG camp tbh.

[spurraider21]

Ok why is Sidy trying to pass the ball after getting the whistle.
ben simmons syndrome

[Ariel]

Somewhere in an alternate universe, we're debating about where Ausar Thompson fits in our wing rotation and planning another year of tanking :lol
True. But in all honesty, I'm very impressed with what I've seen with both Amen and Ausar Thompson. The feel for the game is very real, they're unselfish and very good passers, and their defensive potential is off the charts. If they can eventually hit open 3s at a close to respectable clip, say 33%-35%, they'll do very, very well. I already like Ausar over Ivey, if Cade comes back I'd try to move Ivey for a wing if I were them.

[Obstructed_View]

Even the shots he makes are such high-difficulty that you can't rely on his decision making.

[BackHome]

I think Blake is trying too hard to act like a pass-first type PG, rather than being what he is, which is a score-first combo guard.

The last few positions he is not even looking just taking bad shots

[BatManu20]

Zach Collins wearing what looks like a baggy suede Sean John shirt circa early 2000’s :lol

[spurraider21]

Think I'm officially in the Wesley isn't a PG camp tbh.
he's still 20 so its really hard to write anything off. but its also not like we've seen him know how to play off ball either

but he's not close right now

[playblair]

Zach Collins wearing what looks like a baggy FUBU shirt circa early 2000’s :lol

that looks like sean john not fubu.......

[ace3g]

Nice slip thru traffic by Barlow for that finish + and-1

[Obstructed_View]

Dom is so slick. Great to see him figuring it out.

[spurraider21]

good movement by dom. pass was late but still made it work

[ace3g]

Sidy and-1 chance!!!

[BatManu20]

that looks like sean john not fubu.......

Yea you’re right tbh.

[Obstructed_View]

Cissoko knows how to finger roll.

[spurraider21]

good active hands by sidy on D

[td4mvp2k]

sidy bullying

[BatManu20]

Bediako is a walking turnover.

[ace3g]

Nice transition defense by Barlow fending off that fast break by Pistons.

Spurs get stop and hit the 3!!!

14-0 run!!!

[Obstructed_View]

I think Millner hit two threes and the arc on both was perfect.

[Uriel]

The thing about Cissoko that strikes me is his trunk like legs. He could pass off as a rugby player.

[BatManu20]

14-0 run by the good guys

[Chomag]

Rice has a smoothness about him, I'm really digging what I'm seeing from him, I'm really hoping he makes it on the main squad.

[mikec]

Barlow is AUTOMATIC from mid range

[ace3g]

Barlow nice redemption jumper.

[BatManu20]

Thompson twins are freak athletes tbh.

[SPURt]

That was… it’s ok Barlow

[TekXX]

Looked like over the back on Thompson tbh.

[BatManu20]

Bediako misses the easy ones and then makes crazy flip shots like that :lol

[Obstructed_View]

Thompson twins are freak athletes tbh :lol
That was the definition of over the back.

[Uriel]

Weren't the Spurs higher on the Thompson twins than even Brandon Miller? That scouting department is looking really good right now.

[TekXX]

LOL Wesley not passing to Rice, he wants that PG job.

[TekXX]

Weren't the Spurs higher on the Thompson twins than even Brandon Miller? That scouting department is looking really good right now.

Brandon Miller will be better so jury's still out.

[ace3g]

That Ausar dunk on Barlow and Kai Jones on Wemby is what I call the "Tom Chambers" theory.

[jermaine]

I looooove Barlow

[Cardinal]

Wesley certainly needs another season in the G-League

[Mr. Body]

I wonder whether the plan for Barlow was different before Summer League. Or if they knew he was turning the corner already.

[playblair]

which game did the interview happen........

[onechance87]

man want to see more rice.

[BackHome]

Damn that girl interviewing Wemby is pretty Hot

[Seventyniner]

Is that the same pendant Wemby wore to the draft?

[SPURt]

This is the worse Thompson twin? Jeebus

[Obstructed_View]

Poor Victor. He's doing the interview and smiling but you can tell he hates this media circus. He just wants to buy a house, move in and start playing ball.

[Obstructed_View]

Is that the same pendant Wemby wore to the draft?
Don't think so.

[mikec]

Wesley blocked again!

[Obstructed_View]

Good d.

[BatManu20]

Sidy is a fucking man

[Mr. Body]

Sidy is really strong.

[BackHome]

Damn Sidy said “Give Me That”.

[td4mvp2k]

sidy a man at work

[mikec]

Lol Sidy took that ball like a bully taking ice cream from a kid

[Spursmania]

Wesley :rollin

[RC_Drunkford]

Wesley with his best superman impression

[Obstructed_View]

Tough way to make a living, Beedub.

[lebomb]

I hate all things TU, but Rice looks terrific.

[Obstructed_View]

He sold that screen.

[Obstructed_View]

B Smooth with another lay in.

[jermaine]

How can you not want mins for Barlow

[TekXX]

Look at Rice out there running a play.

[jermaine]

Rice better than Blake by far

[mikec]

Damn Barlow sign this mofo already pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease

[Obstructed_View]

There's a lot to like about Rice.

[BackHome]

He should be he is what 4 years older then him?

[playblair]

wesley does not want to give rice the ball :lmao

[TekXX]

Send Wesley to Austin.

[Obstructed_View]

Blake sucks at literally everything tonight.

[Ditty]

Jabari seems like everything that Primo was supposed to be :lol

[jermaine]

Rice is definitely making sure Wesley ends up in Austin

[Obstructed_View]

Rice is definitely making sure Wesley ends up in Austin
The Spurs have a roster problem. Will start a thread later to talk about it.

[Chinook]

The Spurs both need guards but have too many guards. It's weird. They shouldn't give up on Wesley, but he's giving off almost Metu-esque vibes. With a bad enough camp, he might not make the team. I didn't think that was possible, but the Spurs need a real PG to put into the mix, and they can't really afford to use so many spots on guys who can't get the job done.

[ace3g]

27 point win watch

[Uriel]

If only you could take Cissoko's natural playmaking skills and put them in Wesley, we would have a serious prospect in our hands.

[TekXX]

If only Sidy had an offensive game

[Uriel]

Did you see that play where Cissoko served as the PG and playmaker, then dished it out to Wesley on the wing, who then blew my his man for a wide open layup (which he missed)?

I feel like that would be the more natural alignment for their respective strengths.

[ace3g]

Nice cut by Sidy and find from Barlow but give up another 3...

[BatManu20]

Wesley sucks

[Trill Clinton]

Wesbrick at it again

[Obstructed_View]

Blake. Pounding the rock.

[Uriel]

I'm so impressed with Sidy. I was really bummed when we missed out on Rupert, but Cissoko has proven to be a tantalizing prospect in his own right. Definitely our most exciting 2nd round pick since Tre Jones.

[Spursmania]

I've seen enough of Wesley over these SL games to know he needs to go back to Austin.

[BatManu20]

Get Sir’Jabari back in the game tbh. We need a heady player running the show down the stretch, not Blake Wesbrick.

[Obstructed_View]

Love that charge. :lol

[Uriel]

I'm so impressed with Sidy. I was really bummed when we missed out on Rupert, but Cissoko has proven to be a tantalizing prospect in his own right. Definitely our most exciting 2nd round pick since Tre Jones.
Going beyond Tre Jones, the last time we had a 2nd round pick as talented as Cissoko was probably DeJuan Blair.

[ace3g]

Sidy!!!! Poster

[BatManu20]

Sidy slam

[td4mvp2k]

Blake. Pounding the rock.
looks more like the rock is pounding him at this point

[BatManu20]

Stevenson stinking it up out there too. He and Wesley throwing this game together :lol

[Trill Clinton]

Stevenson is so bad

[Obstructed_View]

looks more like the rock is pounding him at this point
Every time he just puts his head down and charges into multiple defenders. His angles are bad. He literally never improves his position

[BatManu20]

Spurs building a house with all these bricks. Yuck.

[TekXX]

Coach wasn't so sure on Stevenson, wanted to see him play more before making up his mind ehh?

[Obstructed_View]

I love Barlow's middy this summer, but he doesn't have any range yet. His form makes me wonder if he ever will.

[ace3g]

They had all the momentum...

[BatManu20]

Make Blake walk home tbh.

[ace3g]

Wesley work on change of direction/speed...

[SpursFan86]

Wesley…so bad :lol

[TekXX]

If Wesley is playing in San Antonio it would be official we're tanking again.

[ace3g]

More missed FTs... 12-24 as a team...

[ace3g]

And Pistons hit that 3...

[ace3g]

Outscored 9-19 in the 4th quarter...

[Spursmania]

Spurs would never win a close game with Wesley making decisions. Regardless of his talent (speed and quickness), you can't teach natural court understanding and playmaking ability. He is not a PG-that experiment is a dud.

[ace3g]

Barlow putback for and-1 chance and slimmer of hope.

[Uriel]

What a sequence. That 3 by Wesley almost went down too.

[cutewizard]

Blake is the odd man out

[ace3g]

Can't secure rebound on missed FT.

[cutewizard]

the fighting Spurs

at least this group is interesting compared to years ago

Spurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssssssss are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Uriel]

So that's it? We're done for the summer?

[Degoat]

Man Wesley sucked today

[ace3g]

So that's it? We're done for the summer?

Yep, that is it.

[Darkwaters]

Going beyond Tre Jones, the last time we had a 2nd round pick as talented as Cissoko was probably DeJuan Blair.

If you say that player's name three times legend has it that Playblair will enter the chat.

[TekXX]

It's official, we have to wait three months for something.

[NASpurs]

See you in 3 months!

[Darkwaters]

Brandon Miller will be better so jury's still out.

Interesting saying when it comes to Brandon Miller.

[TekXX]

yea ESPN, Ausar dominated our scrubs with a grand total of 18 points, he'll dominate the big boys in the NBA obviously.

[lefty20]

There is one more game right, even for non playoff teams?

I think they wait to schedule it after the top 4 is decided.

[Mugen]

Gonna be another SL game tbh. I think every team gets 5.

The Thompson Twins are gonna be nice tbh.

[Spursmania]

Richard Jefferson is the worst announcer:rolleyes

[slick'81]

Dirty dom is my guy! Great to see his performances

[Obstructed_View]

One more game.

Sidy has much clearer path to a 10 year career than Wes. Catch and shoot 3 pointer from the corners is one of the easiest thing to develop, Wes needs much more.
