Las Vegas Summer League thread

Nothing I watched in Jazz SL roster would have made any difference last season.
Matter of fact, I've seen the same issues that killed us vs. Clippers.
We needed to audition long, quick, athletic wings/forwards. We didn't do it.
On Forrest, Azubuike, Brantley, they are not ready for regular rotation minutes.
Hughes killed me; he was not able to establish a better or major role.
Teague's got something.

I was ready to write Hughes off but he came back from the dead imo. There was something odd about last season's Stars team. Hughes couldn't throw it in the ocean in the bubble. It was the same with Trevon Bluiett who is normally a solid GLeague type player. I wonder if the coaching staff got in both players' heads so badly that they couldn't tie their shoes.

Just still don’t know what Brantley really gives us. Maybe he will have a good camp.

He’s a very good defender and wouldn’t have the responsibility on the regular team as he does here. I think he’d have more room for an occasional probably rare drive and floater, and find better looks for 3 playing with better players and guys that know how to run an offense. It’s not like he’d see the floor ever and if he did, probably not mor than 10 min of spot up shooting with decent handles and good defense and hustle.

Hughes ended SL with two good games. I think he really needed this. Hopefully he can use this to have a great season in the G-League.

Agreed. Nice to see him improved from the **** show he was in SLC to the end of Vegas SL

Now that the Jazz are out of the running, I see them sitting Dok, Trent, Brantley and Hughes.

Why would they sit, maybe Dok if they have plans to use him. Lol why do we need to save the bench warmers? Seems like a strange comment.

Hard to know if there's any particular side effect from Stars coaching. Coaching usually needs to evolve cohesively with personnel changes.
Jazz/Stars were used to rosters that needed lots of coaching stuff, and that changed the last couple seasons.
I certainly will be giving some good attention to more coaching specifics this season.
That said, I still feel pretty comfortable with Snyder... I don't think Clippers would have won if Don were on his 2 legs (f.ck Sumner and George)

So is it over or do the Jazz have another game?

Wow luka Garza is looking great. He has lost like 26 pounds and is a lot more agile. He should make the Pistons roster and with his shooting could be a steal.

Yet to see his team not get scored on when he was involved in a PnR.

Already got a 2-way deal, though.

McBride and Grimes have been shooting the hell out of the ball the last few games. I know the Jazz really liked those two, so it's funny that Perrin picked them. Really wish we could've seen Butler play!

I'm starting to think Eric Paschall is going to have an impact for the Jazz this year.

In Sarah Todd's article about Jazz alums playing in Summer League Emmanuel Mudiay made a point how much he enjoyed playing here, how he keeps in touch with the guys he played with especially Mike Conley who he views as a big brother. I'm wondering if I'm reading too much into it that the door might be open for the last roster spot or a two way. .

You’re right that the door is definitely open. The thing is that it’s Mudiay’s door.

I read somewhere on the interwebs that if he doesn't get an NBA deal he will head to a Euro team that is coached by former Stars coach Martin Schiller and that has former Jazz two way player Tyler Cavanaugh on its roster.
