Summer League 2023 open thread

I know I'm bias obviously to the Serbian player but Bulk Jovic at 6'11 with the skills he has (expert at drawing fouls and shoots them at like 90%) is a absolute MONSTER, I did not see this level of potential in him I knew he would have a very high floor but his ceiling with the extra 2 inches of height and weight is insane the dude is a literal train on the fastbreak that can eurostep and has elite passing.

Good to see Petrusev have a solid game I really hope Denver/GSW or even Sac pick him up now there is no roster spot for him in Philly.
 
Scoot reminds me a lot of Baron Davis the only difference between the two is athletically Baron was more of a two foot jumper where as Scoot seems to be way more explosive off 1 foot. Amen Thompson has absurd potential some of the gifts he has are god tier.
 
Anyone watch the Dallas OKC game….

OKC
Wallace looks like a very good pick up for them. A defensive point with a smooth shot (6 3 point shots) Hit a half court shot at the end of the shot clock….

Holmgren is going to make trips to the rim a challenge. Hit a few stretch 3’s.

this team could be very good and long ….
Wallace 6’ 8.5 wingspan
Shai Gilgeous 6’ 11’
Josh Giddy 6’ 7.5”
Jalen Williams 7’ 3” wingspan
Chet Holmgren 7’ 6” wingspan.

Dallas had Hardy playing some point and decision making was poor but the kid can shoot. He will for sure be a catch and shoot rotation player for them.

O-Max had a couple good finishes at the rim. 1-2 from 3 but the Dallas guards couldn’t make a pass to save their life. But with Kyrie and Luka they will never have to.

Shaedon has the potential to be an absolutely spectacular scorer but his lack of pretty much any other average to above average skill is sorta concerning. Dude is more allergic to passing than Buddy Hield trying to meet his scoring incentive numbers.

Spurs playing with dead legs right now. Meanwhile Portland’s random backup PG destroying everyone with Scoot out with an injury
 
Lester Quinones looks good out there! He always passed the eye test more than his results led you to believe in college. Glad to see he's obviously in peak form.

Know its the warriors n their the enemy but players like that I hope can just do their best n improve, cuz he could always shoot it really well.
 
Vukcevic is such a strange player displays sometimes immense skills/smarts than incredible stupidity/lack of awareness, in his second game he looked 2 years away from being 1 year away at least.

I really liked Walker from Indiana couldn't shoot but all the other stuff was fantastic

He reminds me of Nick Young with like a 50 inch vertical.

Jaime Jaquez in street clothes again today, if anybody’s wondering about where the negotiations on a Dame trade are. Jovic is dressed.
