Who is this Ledbetter guy? He has some age on him. Never heard of him?

Is he living with r.c. or something?

[rastaspur]

I want to see Derrick. He's been hyped by a small legion. Already has a church following. I like that he can shoot.

Also want to see Jefferson. He played very well in the dleague. I want to see if LJC improved some in the dleague too, Lalanne etc.

Murray and Davis may even be sent home early and graduate summer league early in Vegas.

I want to see these guys play all the summer games. Especially bertans. Make him the primary offensive option and see how he handles the increased workload and the defense honing in on him.

Played for Austin last season, looks like an older version of Forbes.

[Chinook]

What made the 2015 interesting for me is that besides Anderson and Simmons, everybody on the team played in roles where they were projected had they made an NBA roster. I think that helped explain why so many of those guys got camp invites. So my fear with guys like Early and Bentil is that they will interfere with the high usage that Murray and Forbes should have. That's going to make it harder for guys like White, LJC, Blossomgame and Cady to show how they'd fit into defined roles.

Crazy that Jean-Charles is just two months older than Blossomgame, yet he's been written off by many. That said, I know he hasn't given fans much to hope for with his play to-date. I'll be pleasantly surprised if he shows something.

Dude is younger than Blossomegame by two months. LJC's bday is in November, Blossom's in September.

is that how the whole date/time thing works? Smh, that's what I get for half-reading and hal-assign a response.

[Eaglenole2002]

Looking forward to posters making definitive statements about guys after one summer league game. Always fun to read those.

Yeah, George Hill's debut was really fun to read in here...

BG is less than a year younger than Bertans -- a dude drafted five years before him.

would be nice, but that was also why the dleague was there and he seldom played in the dleague. My guess is he's going to look too good to be in summer league and eventually be sent hom so Spurs can see others.

I might be incorrect of course.

Maybe Murray does have a lot more to gain from this actually, leadership wise, and with becoming a steady guard. I could see him needing all the games to improve.

I suppose I am optimistic that they will dominate kind of like JSimms and Anderson did and at some point they don't get too much from the experience and are sent hom.

Again, I could be incorrect.

Bertans is an off-ball guy, so he probably won't be sent home as readily as Anderson and Kawhi. Him being good doesn't prevent them from seeing Murray, White and Forbes. Depending on how they feel about LJC or Jefferson, or if they think BG has potential at the four, I could see it.

Cheers, good response.

Edit: Also I watched one or two of his dleague games last season (Davis' and Murray's) and Austin had Davis at center at times, so I think they wanted him to work on rim protection and things of that nature, even though he stayed true to his game as a perimeter big, on defense it was something else. It could be interesting to see what they have him doing.

[Dverde]

Anyone know how Cleanthony Early was playing after he got shot in the knee? He looked promising in his rookie year...

[rjv]

summer league will take on heightened importance now that it appears the spurs appear to be shifting towards a youth movement for the time being.

[itzsoweezee]

So are the two Euro guys I've been hearing about coming over for sure? Are they definitely on the training camp roster even if they're not playing in summer league?

[DrSteffo]

No legit bigs?

Welcome to the new NBA.

LOL!!! IIRC, he was hot garbage in summer league.

Interesting perspective, particularly with Murray and White. Cady and Blossomgame seem more like garbagemen/pick and roll and pick and pop guys. I'm not too worried about them.

Hopefully league pass/nba tv can archive this game.

Guys. I serious.

No they won't. These guys won't get any playing time. Poop hates playing young guys. Eats his soul. Being forced to run with Murray and White for 3/4ths of the season was the main reason PATFO paid a 29yr old small Microwave $50,000,000
