I swear people are going off of VJ’s stat line and not how he actually played.

He played good! But I never thought he looked like a star. Bailey outplayed him in the first half.

I was pleasantly surprised with Bailey’s defense. His biggest issue, more than shot selection, is his handle. Super fixable. He’s going to be really good. Walt is going to be good too.

Hmmm. I thought VJ looked like a star.
 
Rewatched the 2nd half. The first play of the half they tried to get Ace a easy basket and he got fouled before he could finish. After that he just looked out of rhythm and his shots just werent falling. I don't think he was tired as much as he just couldnt get going. Because he was still able to rise up and make an impressive block. Anyways it was a tough half for Ace. I think they could run some more plays to try to get him a easy basket to get going and flash the athleticism. Collier is certainly capable of delivering him the passes.

They didn't give Ace the ball or even try to.

3-13. 13 shots in 25 minutes is kind of a lot.
For comparison, last season:
Keyonte George took 14 shots per game in 31 minutes per game
Collins took 13 shots per game in 30 minutes per game.
Sexton took 14 shots in 29 minutes per game.
Clarkson took 13 shots in 28 minutes per game.

So Ace was getting more shots per minute played than key, sexton, Collins, and Clarkson. By kind of a lot.

I know you're probably half joking but nothing about him looked like he's a rookie did it?

He was fully joking. It was 1 summer league game lolololololol.
Means absolutely nothing

I thought Ace and WCJ both looked good tonight. Pretty excited about their futures tbh. Also pleased with the improvement from Sensabaugh and Cody. Jazz aren’t expected to be good this year, but it’s nice to see the young guys show some flashes tonight. Collier and Flip too.

I liked what I saw from Cody but he still mostly sucked. Remember when WCJ set him up with a wide open three with the shot clock winding down and he air balled it lol.
But at least he didn't look like the worst player for either team so I guess that's a win.

Collier's shot not looking any better than last year probably worried me more than anything tonight.

Agreed. I like him a lot but if he can't shoot he won't last

Me too. Not super efficient (only because he didn't get to the line and his 3 ball wasn't falling) but he was getting blocks and steals and rebounds and had hella swagger and was talking ****. He was second on his team in assists as well.
He had an impressive game.

But again, it's one summer league game. VJ could be the biggest bust of the entire draft or he could be a future hall of famer. 1 summer league game means nothing at all.

He was really good on defense when not matched up on Bona. Cody has his spots for three and that last second shot was not near any of them. I think he was surprised to get the ball.
 
Obviously ACE and VJ situations are much different. VJ being green lit to take 27 shots is a clear sign that Philly isn't invested in any other perimeter player on their Summer League Roster. Our situation is a lot different, and with ACE even on an off shooting night would have eye popping numbers if we green lit 27 shots. For Ace 13 FG was a good number for him for our teams situation.
