Summer League Notes And Discussion

I grew up watching his old man play, they used to live about 5 minutes from my house, Bruce used to own a sports collectable store at the local shopping centre, would organise 3 on 3 tournaments, nice family.

Bruce Bolden was my favorite player growing up. I still have his warm up top. He was a mean SOB on the court with the best game face/scowl ever.
 
had about the longest legs I've ever seen on a dude.

totally one of the best fadeaway jumpers i've seen. awesome post player and rebounder. Class guy too.

we used to go watch when he was with the Spectres and they had zero other big men and he'd take on two or three big men himself.
 
My only question is despite his gigormous wingspan, he may not be able to see over the defense - especially if he is more a SG. Might struggle with his shot when he has similarly long wings in his face.

Doesn't seem to bother Curry or IT. When you're that quick you don't need to see over people because they can't stay with you long enough to block your path. The guy jumps like a pogo-stick if you haven't noticed. Did you that see tip in? He literally jumped over, I think it was Bradley, and got up so quickly. D.Wade isn't much bigger and it never bothered him. And he can play both guard positions.
 
And Mitchell Creek might be the worst SL player I have ever seen start a game.
I'm sure Utah had to scrape the bottom of the barrel because agents and prospects saw the Jazz' roster as being pretty much done, or at least if there was a roster spot, DL would be looking at vets, not rookies. How quickly things change!

Yea definitely think the guy will be a stud at some point soonish.
Was thinking about the initial adjustment period. Curry amd IT usually up against pg who generally aren't as long.

He has too many tools not to be really really effective. Add his impeccable attitude, and he is set.
