At one point early he said Doke struggles with catching the basketball in a crowd and can’t finish.

The main thing that impresses me with Dok is that he breaks up plays on defense. Teams don't want to challenge him much in the paint and are tentative with their passes around him. He's good at getting deflections as well as blocks. He also has a good motor. You can see in this play below how hard he runs the floor.

True at times. You saw hustle in that play but other times he just jogs down. Watch his demeanor after a teammate misses him. He gives up for a couple plays.

To be fair, I would be frustrated as Hell with my teammates if I were Dok. Way too much dribbling into a contested shot with pretty much everyone but Forrest. If you can throw the ball to Dok within 10 feet of the restricted area it is pretty much an automatic basket, in Summer League at least. I'm pretty sure that working the ball effectively to your best weapon is the best skill most of these scrubs can show in summer league. Nobody is interested in watching you brick contested jumpers. Play strong defense than get the ball to Dok. That is how you get an invite to training camp.
Dok has already played 5 SL games already. I think he may be just going through the motions at certain times. I'd like to see the Jazz give him the ball two dribbles out from the rim and see what he can do.

Yeah, EH's kind of disheartening. Let's see how his thing evolves. Hope he finally put his stuff together at some point.
Brantley's most probably gone after SL or in a few weeks at most. Like the guy, wish him nothing but good things.
And IDK, I like what I see from Brantley for the most part.
That's more conditioning than anything else.
Yeah, just give him a post up or two to see what he can do. I kind of hate how adverse Utah is to ever posting up.
So Jaden McDaniels is looking pretty good in SL, better than Elijah Hughes at least.

Still salty about passing on him -___-

Sam Hauser of the Celtics is a pretty interesting undrafted rookie from Virginia. The 6-8 forward shot the 3 ball quite well today, probably something like 6-10 today. He's currently a 2 way player for them.
