I really talked myself into it when I thought about getting the #3 pick, but man I am happy we are not in the Paul George business View: https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1945206062082322550/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1945206062082322550&currentTweetUser=ShamsCharania

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...

My opinion is that fans waaaay overrate their rookies relative to other rookies, and really underrate their sophomores/juniors relative to other sophomores/juniors (for non-star players). We focus on what they're not while still viewing these other players that we don't know as well for what...

I still think you see your friends and other vets get traded/waived and you are staring down showing up to training camp with a team that is 80% under 22 and start to feel a bit out of place.

Yeah, intentionally waiting to sign after the date where we could trade him last year definitely feels like he was on board with the direction communicated to him. I definitely believe Ainge sold him on the ramp up, I bet he talked about him as the Paul Pierce in him building something like the...

Round 2 of "Guy Taken Before Ace and it was a Question" Like Kon and hope he has a nice career, but hope Ace comes out ready to fire in this game

No it did not haha. Perception changes daily with young prospects though. Wouldn't be surprised for him to have a huge game against OKC tonight and for us all to be talking about which All-star he most reminds us of again

I'm not sure I understand. My vote for summer league MVP was WCJ for that exact reason. I think Brice/Flip could get shut down. Kessler/Hendricks/Keyonte were all shut down for the third game last year. But I bet WCJ plays all 3.

I vote WCJ, I bet Flip and Brice get shutdown pretty early tonight and tomorrow. They're both just clearly too good as non-rookies.

Still would've thought he had more value coming into the off-season, but after the Sexton trade I am fine. Happy the JCs and Sexton have been set free and we can focus on the youth movement + Lauri

I could see this being an agreement that Jazz FO made with the league. The transition was rocky, so we get the good will of offering to have Omar Cooper Jr around and the league takes the heat for helping push the Coopers further away. They agree to be the bad guy and we go 'oh man, sorry Ace...

Ace has made himself a lot of haters, many view him as a primadonna and want to see him fail. Moreso than the usual hateful Internet. Hope he finds a way to block it out and get to work, because if he doesn't there will be a lot of negativity around everything he does for at least his first year.

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.

It'll be interesting to see how coachable he is throughout the next couple years. Definitely has gotten to do whatever he wants in AAU/Rutgers

I know summer league is the wild west of chucking and get-mine, but damn it, get Bailey involved haha

What a dumb play by Harkless, and then acting surprised about the offensive foul

I am not even recognizing Sensabaugh at times tonight, he is looking slim and fast. I could really see him being the one piece from that draft class that stays around long-term, which I would have to eat crow on because I was super negative about him the first 1.5 years

Damn that was an exciting block by Ace

WCJ is love, WCJ is life

I have to re-remember every year how ugly summer league is. Ace Bailey will not average over 2 assists per game this year lol
