He was dead tired by the end of the game and I was surprised they kept him in.

He played the entire 2nd half, I think.

This was the Davy Jones revenge game. Positives: Flip, Cody, Collier, Tonje and Harkless. Cody came up with nice plays in crunch time. Tonje hit a big shot that should have won it in regulation. Harkless was a junk yard dog and Flip was MVP of the league material. The Jazz bench was craptastic tonight.

He certainly showed more effort than Keyonte or Brice usually do. Overall, a really solid first game.

Tonje was coming off a sprained ankle and I thought looked good for the most part.

Agreed. Even with his shooting off this game, he was consistently engaged. The shot needs some serious work, but he has some real tools on both ends (first step, length and defensive instincts).

I landed just in time to see Collier make that huge block on Harper and then to see Cody steal the inbound pass. Flip is so gifted offensively, but I think he's going to need to be surrounded by difference making defenders. You could kind of see the vision of how that could work this game.
Harper was ok, but if Harkless is as good of a defender as I think he is, that performance from him is nothing to be ashamed of.

Flip was the difference. Cody actually was a positive. The rest were meh.
I thought Tonje looked solid.

How did Dillion Harper look ??
Up and down, sorta mid. No feelings of angst for missing out on him…
I was surprised to see Tonje out there! He played well - especially for a first SL game. I really hope he can be an OK defender in the NBA - his offense will be fine.
I'm wondering if he's going to gain some weight and become a Brice clone - both 6'5, stocky guys who aren't athletic but can shoot lights out.

I am a lot higher on Cody having another contract after his rookie contract than I was before summer league.
While not perfect or overly exciting, he definitely looks improved and seems like he could be a real role player someday. I know the potential of "could be a real role player" is brutal after the year we needed to get him, but still it's an improvement over last year. Plus his brother is looking like an actual star and he can probably get the Thanasis treatment on his team.

I loved Tonje game performance last night. He did extremely well, and stepped up when it counted, like that crucial 3 he made to keep the Jazz in the ball game. That buzzer beater against him was brutal, but it happens. That's basketball life.
