Summer League Jazz vs. Memphis

Brantley was by far the best of the rookies. I'll wager he makes the team based on our current need for PF position. But you never know who the Jazz might pick up. He reminds me a lot of Millsap when he came up. The best Jazz player on the floor tonight was Naz, but he was playing for the Cavs. He had a nice game and some great assists.

This is Millsap in the Rocky Mountain Revue before his rookie season. He was really just a rebounder and energy player. It took him a couple years before he gained confidence as a shooter.

Bradleys issue is that he isnt a bruiser or a shooter. I think if you are as vertically limited as Bradley, you have to be one of those things.

Bradley can do 3 things: rebound, hedge on pick-and-roll defense, and catch and finish at the rim. He has a few post moves too, but hardly anyone does that stuff anymore. I don't know if that's enough to catch on. Udoh is at least an elite defender.

I thought Brantley was easily the most impressive looking player for the Jazz.

Tony Bradley looked better than expected, but I’m not sure he’s anything better than a 3rd center unless he figures out how to do at least 1 thing really, really well at the NBA level.

Ehh, he can't hedge. He can run the floor well. That's a big strength of his, at least relative to centers his size.
 
I watched a few minutes in a restaurant. Someone remarked a few pages back that all three players have Nba bodies. I agree. Summer league is always rough this game appeared to be exceptionally rough.

Three draftees might've been feeling pressure of NBA arena, Donovan and Jazz players in attendance and game broadcast on ESPN.

I saw good things from all three, lets see how they adjust over next 10 days.

Two of those guys are still playing in the league. What a great game. You could just tell Millsap had that competitive fire.

If CJ Miles was 18 in today's NBA game, he would be quite the prospect. His team would give him the freedom to just go. He could be like a Devin Booker light.
