JAZZ vs. Magic - Orlando Pro Summer League - 1pm et 7/6/10

[Deleted member 95]

After Tim Duncan's RMR debut, I was telling everyone how ****** he was and how he was going to be a bust. Oops. Ostertag kicked his *** all over the court in what turned out to be a one time thing.

I said it then and I'm still sticking to it:

Ostertag>Duncan

I agree that summer league is not a place to draw conclusions, but to get indicators of what some could do. I predicted that Nene was a complete bust as a result of his summer league play as well as Robert Swift - i batted 50% on that prediction. .

Ha ha! I remember sitting in the RMR watching Lonny Baxter out play Nene and laughing because Denver had made a huge mistake. He looked awful.

It was all the way at the bottom, someone should have stickied it, and someone should delete this crap.

If the crap you are referring to is your thread then your wish was granted.

For those that have watched the games, how does Hayward's defense look? Are guys blowing by him or can he stay with them?

He's been good so far. He stays in front of his man. I think I saw him get beat maybe twice today, on one play he was late to rotate on the baseline and fouled. He's been blocking shots and getting deflections, a lot of his rebounds have been defensive. As far as guarding his man, he looks totally capable against summer league scrubs.

Question about summer league scrubs. Do you think that summer league teams have more talent than college teams? Granted, they don't play with each other for a long time, but they're still the better college players.

I think so, yes. It's not even close to NBA talent obviously, but IMO it is a small step up from college. You get some players that have played in the NBA, look at OKC. There's more NBA experience in summer league than in college.

In my very unprofessional opinion the players are better yes but the teams are not

Yes, very true.

Eh, I would think any of these summer league teams would beat Duke.

Butler almost beat Duke so that ain't saying much. Who did Butler ever have that is NBA worthy?

I good test will be against OKC, they are loaded with NBA players and talent.
