Summer League Notes And Discussion

I'm encouraged by the 4 3-pt attempts per game and the 42% shooting, though it's a small sample size.

Exum is now able to drive right or left, and he has enough speed that he was able to blow by the pick-and-roll defense on some occasions like it wasn't even there. He's starting to finish at the rim more, though he's really right-hand dominant on his lay-ins. His scoring rate at the rim was much improved. He didn't face elite rim protection though.

Now its about continuing to improve and shooting more off the bounce.

Do we want to continue this thread or do a new one for Las Vegas Summer League?

Hopefully Mitchell will get some run at the PG spot and get to guard the elite PGs in this draft class.

I saw some of the Jazz/Celtics summerleague game replayed on NBATV an hour ago. Exum and Mitchell really jumped off the screen. They were more impactful in the 4th quarter than Tatum. It was clear that Mitchell was getting to Tatum.

It was also clear that Mitchell believed that it was HIS job to stop Tatum. He clearly enjoys taking on the best in the moment. Hoping to see more of that down in Vegas.

Off to a good start. Holy **** there's a lot of pressure on him to succeed though.

Kendall Marshall is a name I haven't heard in a while.

Decent.

I hadn't realized his assist numbers were that high. That's a great sign.

He had 10 assists in the Philly game. His line was 26/5/10 in a very fast-paced, high-scoring game.

Lonzo Ball is such a unique player, not sure anyone like him has ever existed. I dont think he is ever going to put up great individual stats, but he definitely makes his teammates better just being on the court.

Brandon Ingram is a funky athlete. I don't know how people compared him to Kevin Durant. He's closer physically to Donyell Marshall than Durant.
