The Gohkle shot wasn't even bad D. He closed out on an elite shooter recovered well enough after the pump fake to give a decent contrast.
 
I can’t believe you are overreacting!

Flip going 0-7 has clearly demonstrated he will be a good shooter.

BTW, if you think we’re saying Flip was bad based on the Gholke clip….you must not have watched the game. He had a first half stretch of 3-4 plays in a row where it looked like he didn’t know how to play basketball.

Going 0/7 in SL must mean you can't shoot

I think he displayed bad enough defense to get pulled from a summer league game. If you actually watched the game and came away with "wow look at Flip's passing" I am not sure what you were watching. He missed everything, he was horrific on defense, and he tried to do stuff with the ball a couple times and traveled. Its okay... it doesn't mean he's hopeless or a bad player but he was absolutely bad last night... its okay to say it.
 
It does not, but in what world does Flip’s 0/7 shooting performance indicate he can shoot?
He can shoot... he has not displayed the ability to make yet though.

Some people just can't see the game. It's why you had some people saying Edey wasn't a first round pick two months out. Then it became he wasn't a top 20 pick. Then not a lottery pic. Then not a top 10 pick. People come around eventually when it's slapping them in the face, but not everyone can see the details.

Yeah…If your thought was he showed passing and the defense wasn’t bad in the Gholke clip…I just have a time believing we both watched the same game. You’re leaving out some important details that must mean you didn’t watch the game.

Let me put it this way, if what you saw last night for Flip was encouraging you must have gone into the game think he completely sucked.

I'm not really encouraged or discouraged by what has happened the last two games. He's who I thought he was, which is a good player with dynamic skills. 0/7 and some bad D moments in a SL doesn't really sway me either way.
 
for me in particular, especially as it relates to cody williams, i had him ranked the late 20s on my big board - i was on an island on jazzfanz and in terms of basically every draft expert in that opinion. so i'm watching these games hoping for signs that i completely missed on him, and instead i'm going all Dennis Green - he is who i thought he was - maybe even a little more negative now - i knew he wasn't explosive, but he's looked even slower and more grounded than i thought. so it's not about two games in summer league, it's a continuation of what i saw at CU. still hoping at some point this summer he shows some of the skills others saw that i didn't see.
