The Official 2014 NBA Summer League Thread

thoughts from the games yesterday:

- hardaway looks ready for the season now...he's been leading the knicks at the games so far....i'm talking about in play and as far as being a leader on the team....him vs pj gonna be a nice matchup....

- speaking of pj, him and the hornets have a nice team...him, zeller, the rook for ind, and a couple others putting in work...pat got those boys playing out there....

It was a pretty even matchup between the two last time they played even though the Knicks team fukked Charlotte up. Zeller's played well this summer and PJ had his best game yesterday, should be a better game tomorrow.

thoughts from the games yesterday:

- exum is not a sg, and Utah is messing up trying to make him one....he just doesn't have that mentality...he was passing up shots, didn't attack on offense when he had the chance, and was trying to setup teammates more than look for his shot...they'd be better off trading burke for something, making exum the pg and moving hood to 2; or making burke a 6th man and letting him come in sparking the bench...cause he was looking for his shot more than setting up teammates, while exum was doing the .

He can't dribble with his left and he is poorly conditioned. They have no choice.

both of those you can work on (and he can go left by the way)....but you cant work on changing someone's mentality on how they approach the game...he doesn't have a sg mentality, so them forcing him to be that is gonna hurt them and him...

Maybe but its not happening this season.

Marcus Smart snatched his soul. What do you think Westbrook, Paul or Rondo would do?

 

[CarltonJunior]

Marcus Smart is actually a better stopper than all of those guys (except a very focused Westbrook).

Dante's going to be just fine in the league, at worst, he'll be an extremely athletic Rubio.

Dude, he won't even make it up court

if you say so....only 1 on that list that would give him problems like that is westbrook...from what i saw, not even talking how he plays the game/his mentality, the kid is athletic enough and his handles are good enough to play pg....

He had to pick up his dribble against the Bucks.. he isn't playing PG this year

ok, but I don't think he's only gonna have a 1 yr career...think he'll have plenty of time to play pg.....

by the way: i actually said I don't think he will play pg this year cause they're trying to play him at 2.....I just think they'd be smart to play him as a pg instead based on what I saw...

 

[Poitier]

Burke isn't the reason Exum is passive, he isn't even playing. Its his left hand and conditioning. He missed a left hand layup 99% of players would make

Lmao @ this propaganda. You you're a Kev J alias, huh? Good to know, i can block one of you.

Interesting.

 

[I.V.]

Rodney hoods gonna be a steal such a versatile player

He's actually not versatile at all. But he's looked good. He'll defend, and he can shoot. But he can't handle or pass.

How did the Giannis vs Cabocolo matchup never happen

:ohlawdfists:

In my opinion, TJ Warren has been the best rookie thus far.

:whoacarlton:He's been good, but he's also been shooting A LOT.


that being said, he can get a shot off on just about anyone. :JFKBOSS:

I can't believe he'll stoop that low.

What do you call this? And I think Exum will be a star but he has huge holes he has to fix.
