Las Vegas Summer League thread

Just still don’t know what Brantley really gives us. Maybe he will have a good camp.

Defense, energy, some rebounds, adequate spot-up shooting, reasonable ball movement. He's not a priority in the rotation, but someone who can fill in.

See what Amir Coffey is doing? Elijah Hughes is supposed to be doing that...

Guis, Donovan is watching summer league and that means he signed a 20 year extension and fired his agent and just told Ryan “pay me whatever you think is fair.”

Athleticism, quickness, explosiveness, long bodies...
I expected to see 4 or 5 wing-forward dudes with such skills/attributes but...

Trent's dunk was impressive and I saw that he was shooting %43 from 3. I may nitpick his defensive focus less if he keeps that up.

Brantley just took Keon Johnson off the dribble and hit a little floater.

A minute later, he guarded Johnson effectively on a switch and forced a bad miss.

Hughes is dangerous when his feet are set and he has space. It makes him enough of a gravity shooter.

Hughes ended SL with two good games. I think he really needed this. Hopefully he can use this to have a great season in the G-League.

Brantley’s fouls are a concern for sure. Been a problem in SL and not a great look.

Udoka should get some minutes this year.

There is still a game left. I thought Dok, Forrest and Hughes did their jobs. Brantley and Mathias were kind of sucky. There were some guys we will probably never see again that did OK: Mooney, Jarrell Martin, Fogg and Sestina. Teague looked to me as trying to do too much. I wonder why Paul White didn't play.

Now that the Jazz are out of the running, I see them sitting Dok, Trent, Brantley and Hughes.

Nothing I watched in Jazz SL roster would have made any difference last season.
Matter of fact, I've seen the same issues that killed us vs. Clippers.
We needed to audition long, quick, athletic wings/forwards. We didn't do it.
On Forrest, Azubuike, Brantley, they are not ready for regular rotation minutes.
Hughes killed me; he was not able to establish a better or major role.
Teague's got something.
