NBA Summer League Wild Overreaction Thread

Flip is much better and more dynamic creating for himself and others with the ball. As a shooter and floor spacer, he's similar to Naz Reid though. The idea is that Flip at the 5 opens the floor, and it allows Flip to go to work off the dribble, where he's becoming tough to stop. The problem is that Flip doesn't have enough defensive presence to play the 5 defensively, so he'd need someone next to him who can take that defensive big role.

Or we need a really strong defensive team around him to mitigate him. Maybe Hendricks/Bailey can provide that if they share the court and we can keep Flip at the 5.

Definitely not a full time 5, but if the Jazz are smart about when they deploy it and with whole it could work.

I mentioned something similar in the game thread. I can see the vision.

I'm not in love with the idea of a big that can't defend, but I'm warming up to the idea of Flip being so talented offensively you have to try and make it work.

Why are our rookies not playing in summer league games? I have been following very closely. Did they both get injured?

WCJ has a hammy injury he suffered near the end of the first Vegas game which is why he sat the last 5 minutes of that game.

Ace suffered a hip flexor in the last SLC SL

There’s a chance Ace gets back before Vegas ends. WCJ is finished. Tonje made his first appearance last night though.

If Devin Carter was really made available, the Jazz should have jumped at it.

Nique Clifford is looking very nice.

Yeah Clifford looked better than I gave him credit for. When I watched a bit of their first SL game he didn't impress me but he seems to be playing well.

Also Harkless >> Carter

I really like Harkless, but that is kind of a dumb thing to say during summer league to be honest.

Maybe, and yeah, SL defense is a different beast (but it does resemble how the NBA let the playoffs be played this year), but I have never seen a player consistently draw that many moving screens at any level ever (like not even close). He was drawing at least 3 per game and had like 5+ in a couple.

Honestly I don't think I've ever seen someone defend as hard as Harkless does at any level. Dude gives 110% effort. He's also pretty reactive and alert on help D too. I think he's going to be a huge piece moving forward as a rotation player.

We need him on our team desperately. I'm hoping the FO agrees and gives him a real contract.

I'm guessing he gets promoted on a similar deal to what the Grizzlies gave Spencer and we sign Tonje to a 2-way

Hopefully, I'm just not sure what they are waiting for. I thought he showed plenty last year to offer a real contract.

Can't any other NBA team give him a real contract and take him away? Or does the two-way give us first to offer rights?
