NBA 2017 Summer League Thread

[Listen]

I fear Tatum's inability to hit 3s and get dimes will make him more of a Rudy Gay type. Gaudy scoring numbers with limited actual impact

There is no way that he'll be a black hole since he got drafted by the C's. Stevens will get him moving the ball. Jaylen played almost literally NOTHING like he is playing in summer league last year.

This is the stat padding, showing out time of the year.

Fam you got money on him being a bust?

Sure. I bet he'll be Ricky Rubio. If he puts up Ricky Rubio rookie numbers he's a bust imho.

Pretty obvious Lonzo smashed his girl.

 

[CarltonJunior]

McCaw finally cut that bullshyt off his head

 

[e001]

Kingram right now better than Jaylen will ever be

Mediocre shooter, worse statistically per 100 and 36, straight bust potential

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Ball can shoot Rubio can't

There's a lot of value to have a 6'6 pg

Didn't even recognize McCaw. Dudes shorts are too long.

 

[KingJay]

This big white boy we got at Center is so can't believe they're still playing him

 

[The Fire]

don't believe me nikka say sumn

 

[Adebisi_Said]

Crowd is dead. Did they leave with Jayson and Lonzo?

 

[godkiller]

So low crossovers to blow by nikkas isn't eligible as getting into the paint?

He tried and failed but one of the highlights for the night will be him blowing by a nikka and finger rolling...

He was INJURED when he played Fox you one game watching ass nikka


Just say you hate the kid for his dad or some fukk shyt because everything else you saying is not adding up.

I would expect more shyt about his jumper then the shyt youre saying

Ball didn't drive as much as he should have today for the amount of usage he had whenever he was on the floor. And when he did drive he was either stopped or couldn't finish. One highlight doesn't change this fact. Injury has nothing to do with Ball's lack of speed or quickness. His lack thereof is why his defense will likely never be that good for his size and why he can't take guys off the dribble, finish well, etc. If Ball was actually fast he would have more time to finish at the rim and would finish.

Most people's criticisms of Ball coming from UCLA have turned out correct.

they're all Lakers fans they don't care

Like I said before I see more Harrison Barnes if anything. He will be a better defender than both Gay and Barnes I think, and in Boston its fine if he's "only" a scorer because he'll have players that can cover for his weaknesses

Nah man. Harrison Barnes cannot create his own shot like Tatum. Not even close. Dude his a catch and shoot player with the occasional straight line drive. No footwork, no moves, no shiftiness, no ball handling.

And Tatum can pass the ball. He's a really good play maker in transition and always has been. He gets tunnel vision at times in the half court, because he sees himself as the best scoring option on the floor at all times. Similar to Kobe in that sense.

Harrison Barnes can't create his own shot? Are we talking about the same nikka

Have you seen any Mavs games?
