He did get named in the australian team, which starts a european tour next week. So he can probably get another weeks rest and still get an opportunity to see where he's at.

Sounds very Julius Randle.
Russell is a TO machine
Matt Stainbrooks looks like a poor man's Marc Gasol who spent all his money on buffets.
I only saw him in one game but he was impressive. 13pts, 8rbs, 5blks.
Not a need though.
WCS looks great. Way too passive offensively though.
Why teh **** did WCS cut his hair though?
LOL .. did u see Stephen A Smith & Skip Bayless's rant about the Russell pick on First Take the other day???
LOL .. Hilarious...
Randle looks bigger to me. More of an NBA body now.

I think we pretty much need to concede that the Jazz SL teams are going to suck from here on out for a very long time (we hope). This was the last season to expect two very good 2nd year players and a lottery pick to make a strong showing. Next season we'll have Lyles. possibly Hanlan and a pick in the 20's. And it may get worse from there if we keep making the playoffs. Sure, we have the GS pick, but good luck with that being a high one. And the OKC pick is lottery-protected.
AS for free agents and undrafted players, our roster is so full no one of note wants to play for Utah and the 1 or 2 in 15 chance they have of making the team. Better to go where there are many more roster spots to fill.

Many times #Hunger leads to getting bigger.

Re: Russell, every year we yap online about how stupid it is to overreact to summer league (even have a thread dedicated to it this year), then every year that is exactly what we do.

But we can't say anything about players being bad in summer league...or is that only if it is Jazz player we have shut our mouth? I don't care I say it. LYLES SUCK SOOOO BAD IN SL.

This is the one that can haunt us. I think about every night!!! I cant believe we take lyles when he is there.
Nah wins in Summer League don't haunt me.

I keep hear this from everyone and I can hear Kevin Pelton on NBA podcast say that players who really struggle in SL generally struggle in the season and versa. I am not the one with a brain like Pelton, but he say it and he says that it does matter more than people here pretend it does and I know if Lyles does well everyone will say that it does matter how good he is.

How many SL MVP's have become stars in the league?
Conversely, how did Gobert do in his first SL? Just relax, Lyles is a project. As for Booker, whose minutes was he going to take: Hayward's, Hood's or Burks'? I'd take any of those three over Booker.
