The final summer league game of the year begins at 5 PM CST.
FTM, tbh.
Jacque Vaughn back as head coach
start of Dal vs Spurs on NBATV right now
anyone know how Bernard James has looked in SL?
Richards and Ajinca on the court together
Richards and Ajinca are worthless
nice pull up by Denmon
nice dunk by Richards, but he didn't need to take that extra dribble there.
Richards looks good, and really big
How has bernard james looked so far?
-Joseph's J continues to be money. So much improvement from last year.
-Richards FINALLY used his athleticism in a positive manner. Still obviously really raw but he's shown growth since the beginning of summer league, which is a good sign.
-Anderson is pressing. Probably feels his NBA career slipping away. Can't really blame him.
-Neither Wilkerson nor Dawson has done much.
-Wangmene sucks but he has enough athleticism and size that he'd actually be worthwhile on the Toros. It's very unlikely that he'll ever make it very far in pro ball but at least he has tools.
-I don't like the rotation being used today. I realize they're trying to get everyone a little bit of run but there is so much subbing that nobody can get a rhythm.
Pretty solid. He has run the court extremely well. But he hasn't shown much skill and he's skinny compared to the other bigs on the court. James has a chance to make it as a backup big but it's far from a given.
Danny already blowing his new fat paycheck in Vegas, tbh
CJ has been dribbling into the path of the roll man a bit
Danny Green @DGreen_14
RT @NBAcoaching: Headed to UNLV now to work with @DGreen_14 again. 5 workouts in 3 days. #NBAlife
He has been here working out as you can see, hopefully on attacking the basket, etc.
That dunk and block is the reason people continue to be intrigued by Richards.
nice 3rd quarter, 23-8
Richards is showing some pretty good quickness guarding perimeter players.
unable to watch the rest of the game(stream got screwed up), but looks like Wilkerson is having a good 2nd half
damn downs lucky shot
Ot !!!
Pretty entertaining game. Spurs lose but the story of the game, IMO, was the play of Ryan Richards. There was a stretch of the game that he took over the action on both ends. His tools are really good -- he's fast, quick, good ballhandler for his size, had a couple showboat passes, good motor, very good length, solid build, good form on his jumper, not passive, etc. -- and he actually put it together for a few minutes. It was by far his best stretch of summer league and should be enough for the Spurs to remain somewhat intrigued.
I'm still hesitant to use even a 15th roster spot on Richards but at the very least the Spurs should try to pull some strings to get him onto a good team in Europe. If he puts it all together, he's an NBA player. It's unlikely but that's not something you can say about many second round picks.
Hey timvp don't you think D-league is a better place for him to develop. It seems to me(from what I've read so far) that he's still learning the game.
Yeah, D-League would be perfect for him. The question is whether he's worth a roster spot so he could then be assigned to the Toros. If not, do the Spurs try to massage the system and have Richards try to join the Toros as a free agent. Considering Richards would make like ten times less money in the latter scenario, that could be a difficult sell for multiple reasons.
