2019 NBA Summer League Thread

CLARKE!! Love the young talent we have.

Clarke with two great plays at the rim and whoever the dumbass that didn’t cut to the rim smh that was a super dime.

Yep

Miguel talkin mad shyt like he had a choice to sit out summer league

The wackest Summer League in years because of the lack of starpower. I can not remember a year where this many of the top rookies were out.

10 first rounders out either because of injury or their teams sitting them out: Morant, Garland, Culver, Reddish, Cam Johnson, Washington, Langford, Okeke, Jerome & Porter. Bitadze not playing because of visa issues. Zion & Doumboya only played only game. Hunter/Hayes/NAW missed games waiting for the trade to go through.

So over half of the 1st round picks either didn’t play at all or were limited.

and some of y’all wanted to see summer league expanded?

Clarke

everyone is so afraid of injury that they don't play, don't buildup durability because of it and later on get hurt anyway

Welcome to sports in 2019.

If they weren’t getting paid so much, teams wouldn’t care, but every athlete is fine China

 

[kevin arnold]

Lol at Saunders saying Wiggins is buying in, working out two times a day




We’ll see

I have no idea. Jarrett Allen had to have begged management.


but this is exactly what other teams wanna avoid at all costs. If that means sitting first rounders who you know will be on the team, so be it.

I never seen a summer league game

The more these guys end up in the G-League or overseas, the better for the NBA.

Me neither. I was just on a sports gambling site, tryna find somethin' to bet on. Saw that twolves nets game and it had an I bet the over of 181.5.

shyt looked like an easy bet, but I forgot that these aren't REALLY NBA players. 75% of these dudes will be playing for teams like the Stir Fry Seoul or some shyt like that.

Man, there were missed layups, missed open 3s, fumbling the ball off their leg out of bounds, etc.

I felt like I was watching Big Ten Basketball

Allen got hurt???

Hoping this year isn't the start of a trend, I barely watched the games due to the lack of 1st round picks that played this year

 

[#1 pick]

I think he is. Hasn't played for long yet has post moves. Great footwork. Can score with both hands. Has a money midrange already. Can shoot the three. Can defend multiple positions. Can play the 3, 4 and 5. Already has an NBA body. Has a calm demeanor. Hyper work ethic. He's very skilled. I'm impressed by him. He does move like kawhi to me. Says his offense he got from melo. People see a little of milsap in him is another comp. Dude says he can do everything and i see it. He's a two way player who has no real weaknesses.

I felt he was a blend of Millsap and David West as a prospect but those hands how he can explode in traffic with strength is Leonard like. I underrated him as a prospect. He could be a superstar.
