Summer League Thread

The ease with which George got separation versus JHS struggling helped me feel pretty good about our choice. I did see some of the passing/ game management stuff though. Seems like a heady player… just not sure it will matter if he can’t shoot and can’t put a bunch of pressure on the paint.
He was putting pressure on the paint though. Separation wasn't great, but he was getting to his spots. He has a great change of pace handle that will help him negate some of his weaknesses

At times he got to his spots but he got to walled off a few times. The shot doesn’t look great right now… I see a potentially solid player someday if those things get smoothed out but I don’t see some high upside guy.
 
Yeah, I think at some point the quality of prospects drops to a level where the risk of betting on them is higher than the risk of betting on a super talented player, even if he's raw and/or has attitude/off-field issues. You just have to take the talented guy and try to get him straight.
The issue is that when you know a prospect is going to get picked past the 40s it's hard to have much faith they will make it. Teams just generally give you less shots.
 
Just catching up on the other games. GG played well, good for him. Especially impressed by his defensive effort. If he’s going to have a career he’s got to apply himself on that end.

JHS….looking slow as hell out there. Had a little bit more success going to the rim but he’s just not an athlete. No burst, no elevation. Hard way to make a living.

Jaime - Good at basketball

Miller had a much better second half after being in comatose during the first half. He’ll be fine….but he might just be “fine” at the end the of the day.

I think kqwin had him ranked higher than you... for whatever it's worth...

I think I had him above 28 on my final board. It was just a wild….two weeks? When people were saying he was a top 5 pick or whatever and then completely folded. My opinion of him didn’t really change much overtime.

And for the record I still feel the same way. I do not think he has a chance in hell to be a play initiator type in the NBA. If he transitions to being a role player I could see it. His shooting/ability to coatrack closeouts could get him somewhere.
