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

[richgates]

Jeremy Evans had a couple of really nice blocks as well. Plus there was a move to the hoop that was really explosive that he made. If he could just put on some weight through some weight training, he could be a beast I think.

-Hayward and Evans both played better than yesterday.

-Augustine + Koufos both looked good today. Koufos had some Doufos moments missing dunks and losing the ball, but at
least he finally made plays today as well.

-Please cut Rice today.

-Would have liked to see Harris play more.

-Gaines ran the club better today.

For those who watched the game, does Jeremy Evans move fast enough to be a SF? I know we have a logjam there but it sounds like he's doing pretty good in this game. Just watched the highlight on nba.com that shows a block by Evans, which was a pretty smart block as he focused on knocking the ball out of the player's hand rather than just going straight up with his arm.

 

[Zerol]

also, why isn't Paul Harris getting any playing time?

Move fast enough, Yes. Have the handles and the ability to shoot the ball from out side of 5 feet. Hell no. He would have to develop any kind of shot to even have a chance of playing the 3 in the NBA.

6 turnovers isn't running anything well.

6 turnovers isn't running anything well.

Did you watch the game?

Two were offensive fouls. I don't think either were. One was a pass to get into the offense that was lazy. Can't remember the other three, unfortunately. I was surprised to see 6 turnovers because of that.

 

[calijazz]

also, why isn't Paul Harris getting any playing time?

He has probably hasn't earned it. He hasn't looked good at all from what I've seen.

Food for thought from Ross Siler:

Before jumping to any summer-league conclusions, remember that Wesley Matthews averaged 6.2 points, shot 34.8 percent last year in Orlando.

 

[Watcher]

Nice shot from the paper boy.

Good pass by King Gaines to set him up too.

That's the way it should be. Nice turnaround from yesterday where Hayward was the one setting up Gaines, who missed.

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. This much is true - it is definately Jazz fan heartwarming to see your players not look pathetic.

I'll look at the game later, but hearing that Hayward had another solid game is very encouraging. Also, Kufous... I thought after his rookie season he'd be a player in the NBA. Last year, i began to doubt. Hopefully, he finds himself this summer and gains some confidence.

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.
