NBA SUMMER LEAGUE 2018

Passing on Hart to take Bradley and subsequently taking Reaching a bit for Allen will likely bug me for years.

For my sanity I need Okobo to bust.
 
Watching the game, and watching Allen, I thought he reminded me of Tyler Johnson. Even though he didn’t shoot well, I thought he looked good and competed well doing a little bit of everything for this team. Other then the poor shooting, He far exceeded my expectations for him. He missed some open shots, probably nerves. He easily could’ve had 20+ to go along with his 7-8 rebounds and assists, or whatever it was. I just pray to god he can hit his jump shot a little more consistently then Hood did.

Relax. Lol. Allen looked very good, I know he didn’t shoot well, but I blame his nerves being his first game and all. He’ll be a pretty good player no doubt. He did nothing but make good plays up and down the court and got people open looks and was active.

Don’t think Allen is a bust or anything... ****.

Fair to question the strategy of going for the big upside swing on a big that looks like a very traditional replaceable big you could get for the minimum and passing on a decent ready now wing and then reversing course when some guys with big upside are available...

Breathe... relax... k
 
Alen and Bradley both looked pretty good to me. Can’t believe people are still bitching about a #28th pick that is 20 years old. Whatever the Jazz are doing, it’s working. He’s better then he was at this point last year by miles.

DL isn’t even counting on him taking rotation minutes until next year. He’s still a baby in terms of development. Be patient. I think he’s coming along well.

As far as strategy, Donovan’s emergence changed a lot of things moving forward.
 
Why does NBA.com only have partial box scores? It's like it's only tracking people who were just drafted or are under contract.
 
One of the hardest things for a rookie to do is impact the game when their shot isn’t falling.

Allen did a very good job of that. Needs a lot of work on defense, but wasn’t awful. His shot will fall, because it always has, and we’ll know we have a well rounded player.

He also took shots last night that he won’t take very often playing with the Jazz. He did show a nice floater that I don’t recall ever seeing though...that’ll be a big addition to his game if he can improve there.

did Bradley solely play the 5?

Of course only the 5, Bradley looked decent.. Derrick White was the best player in the game though who we passed on to draft Bradley. :p

Some other observations:

Glad we didn't draft Lonnie Walker - told y'all one of the most overrated players in this draft class
Grayson looks good but not a DM45 summer league performance from anyone except Derrick White
Niang looks quicker than Jingles
This Kendrick Ray, he might be a better player than Exum lol
The guy from Purdue who went undrafted, Martin, looks like nice prospect.

Sidenote - I was watching the game with my 4 year old son who pointed at Lonnie Walker and said "he has hair like Groot."

I didnt know what to tell him.

Has your son seen Elfrid Payton? If so, what did he think about that?

White looked good but in no means was he Mitchell-like. He’s a second-year player and he shot 9-21. Impressive that he had a 0 +- even though they lost by 16 and were down almost 30 at one point.

Martin (Kelan?) looked like a scrub to be honest I was expecting more out of him.

Locke had a good comparison for Ray which was Bryce Cotton. Not better than Exum at all so I hope you’re joking about that.

Niang was impressive he’s got some Diaw/Ingles feel to his game.
