Re: Summer league roster is up
I don't think Kawhi should be on the summer league team. He has nothing to prove. Just added opportunity for injury IMO.

Agreed.

Re: Summer league roster is up
I'm halfway scared to see Kwahi on the team because of the danger of an injury. He's now a proven veteran and shouldn't be exposed to year around play.

Re: Summer league roster is up
Kawhi isn't known to be injury prone, and probably won't even play that many minutes. relax y'all.

Disagree...No different than any foreign player or team USA players improving there game and getting reps. Kid is 21 years old, he needs to be on the court.

Re: Summer league roster is up
Really shocked James Anderson is on that list.

well it isn't like he hasn't been playing pick up games in the summer anyway. besides, he'll probably only play 1-2 games.

Kid is 21 years old and your worried year round play...Do you really think he would just be at home sitting on the couch resting for the next couple of months anyways? Kid well probably get a 10-12 minutes to work on his offensive game.

Re: Summer league roster is up
It will be quite an adjustment for Kawhi to go from practising against the US national team to playing in the chaotic summer league.

He's still young enough to be a worthy project big. You can't teach that type of size, tbh.
Why didn't France call him up for the Olympics?

Re: Summer league roster is up
That's a roster full of intriguing prospects and possibilities...a nice sub-plot to an otherwise boring summer.

Re: Summer league roster is up
When does the Spurs summerleague team start playing? And will it be on nbatv ?

Not really, he's going from competing against some of the very best to going up against unproven young guns. I mean, it's a big dip for him but when you can hang with the big boys, summer league should be a breeze and time for him to work a little more on his game. I'm sure he's looking forward to it.

Re: Summer league roster is up
Funny that Ajinca was once considered a better prospect than Nicolas Batum, when they were touring the US together pre-draft days.

Re: Summer league roster is up
Ajinca is a Bobcats and Mavs reject, IIRC...

Because he is the 6th best french center behind Noah, Séraphin, Turiaf, Traoré and Mahinmi.

I tend to agree with that. I don't see the interest for him to play the SL

But Noah, Seraphin, and Mahinmi aren't on the final roster for France.

Noah is still rehabbing injury iirc. I dunno about the other two but really no team needs 4 centers.

As previously noted, it may be a look see to what Leonard can do as the go to guy. He will have to fill that role eventually and what better place to see how he reacts then his first summer camp.

That is correct. FWIW, he and Mahinmi were competing for playing time at the 3rd center spot on the Mavs. After some back and forth during the season, Mahinmi eventually won the battle.
Still surprised to see Ajinca on the roster. Hope he's got his act together.
Also surprised to see Leonard on the roster and more surprised to see Anderson. I guess he's showcasing his wares for another team.
Pulled up some highlights on JaMychal Green. Though he's got some flaws, he is a very interesting kid. Probable face-up 4-man.
