Cody and Ace ice the game.

Philly's got to be over the moon for Edgecombe.

File this away in the “no ****” category but Ace is a very impressive vertical athlete. Thought he looked great tonight.

And I’m bracing for a lot of 7 points on 13 shots outings.

 

[framer]

Ace also looked kind of gassed earlier in the second half.

WCJ was easily the most encouraging player in that game for the Jazz.

Took Keyonte all of SLC Summer League year 1 to figure it out and then he was one of the best players at Vegas. Ace can still have some great performances. Going to be tough with his current handle though.

Cody was by no means perfect tonight, but I like a lot of what I saw.

I am going to try and bring a lot of confidence towards the season for him. Curious how long of a leash he will get this year.

WCJ was easily the most encouraging player in that game for the Jazz.

Cody and Brice looked pretty damn good.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Ace played 25 minutes. The most minutes on the team was 28.

 

[str8line]

VJ is a great player.

Ace played 25 minutes. The most minutes on the team was 28.

VJ clearly in better shape (and Sixers generally were in better shape than the Jazz). I don't have any problem with what I saw from Ace tonight, but he'll need to (and will) improve his stamina over time

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Filipowski was easily the best player on offense for either team. Not even close really.

 

[Flc]

Ace the only player on the Jazz with a negative +/- and it was -12 lol. He’ll be fine but rough first outing.

 

[framer]

VJ did well, but in an NBA game, you are going to live with their best player going 28 points on 27 shots. Guards actually did a good job defending.

 

[slc]

VJ is a great player.

VJ looked very good but if Jazz take VJ they maybe don't take Clayton
Ace and Clayton may turn out better than VJ and whoever they may take with second first round pick

 

[str8line]

Bona is a ****ing beast.

 

[homeytennis]

I wish Murrell playing in Summer League.

Is he still injured?

 

[prodigy]

VJ is a great player.

SL gives you a chance to see if guys have that "It" factor and he certainly passed. He has that I'm simply better than you about him the way he carries himself. Reminded me of Donovan a bit, remember him going at Tatum?

 

[framer]

The good thing is that none of the core Jazz youngsters looked overmatched by Summer League play. Doing well in Summer League isn't always an indicator of NBA success, but looking physically overmatched in Summer League is a pretty strong indicator.

 

[framer]

I also want to point out Brice's 2 blocked shots. He looked really, really good in a type of game that isn't necessarily his comfort zone.
