NBA SUMMER LEAGUE 2018

Who’s better between Luka and Gorgeous?

Gorgeous is better in a handsome contest but Luka is better at basketball so it’s a tough call.
 
Trae Young reminds me of the struggle Trey Burke had when he played in the summer league. I'm sure he'll get it down surely or will surely be the next jimmer fredette if he doesn't. lol

Which one helps you win games? What kind of effect does Gorgeous’ rugged-yet-refined looks have on the opposition’s attention to their game plan?
 
Grayson Allen is just the kind of bad *** ************* we need. I mean, there was absolutely no reason to not let go of Young's arm there, but he just did it to wind him up. And he didn't actually actively do anything. He just went limp. I love it. After seeing how easily some All-NBA players get rattled in that OKC series, this is the kind of stuff we need.

Add this on top of the fear Gobert creates in the paint, the physical nature of Crowder, O’Neale and Rubio and the head games of Ingles?

Then almost 20,000 rabid fans?

Jazz are going to sky rocket up the most hated list.

Perfect.

I was happy on that draft night. I really wish Trey would have succeeded with us.

I was excited, too, but don’t worry, it could still work out as we still are owed a second rounder from Washington for him, should Dennis use it.
 
Went to the game and here are some keys from it:

-Outside on the North East entrance you can show up early to play games with your kids (basketball, bean bag games, etc).
-They also have a shop with shirts, hats, beanies, jerseys for over half off (All hats and beanies are 12 dollars and picked up a nice one ((originally 30+)).

-I have said this once and I'll say it again, Young has potential to be a huge bust. Played like absolute garbage outside of few passes.
-Lewis and Kidd were fun to watch and played great.
-Niang looks great but is slow, unathletic, and hardly jumps....like ever. There was one time he was driving into the lane, tried to throw up a prayer without even jumping off the ground, and got it emphatically blocked into the crowd.
-Allen struggled shooting but had some excellent passes. Needs to work on dribble penetration and overall shot selection.
-The "fight" with Young and Allen wasn't really anything there. There was another time where Allen blocked Young and Young kinda threw a wild punch into the air.
-You're almost guaranteed to see LifeOnaPlate on the jumbotron or walking around. I've only seen people post his picture on here the last couple weeks and he was on the jumbotron.
-Neto, Gobert, Burks, Royce, Donovan were all there

I would highly suggest showing up 1+ hours before the game starts if you want to get food (long lines), see the outside shops, or wonder around inside. It was extremely packed for a summer league game.

I also suggest parking at the Gateway across the street as parking was free
 
Not to nitpick, and I know comparing these guys is apples and oranges since they weren't in the same draft, but Mo Wagner sure looks like a better overall player to me than Tony Bradley.

Both are worth the five year max... I’m not gonna split hairs.
