Those are the intriguing possessions from Queta. Nice skilled romps to the hoop.

Just casually busts out a couple plays every game where he looks like Joel Embiid.

SUMMER LEAGUE DYNASTY

QUETA&1

There is *something* there with him.

He's too slow on both ends. Might end up following Hassan Whiteside's arc. G-League, bounces around, gets one big contract, then the bench.

24 Pts on 9-16 shooting
7 Reb
3 steals
1 Block
Good defense.

Love seeing the bounce-back game after a rough 2nd one.

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon is good too.

 

[NewArena]

Keegan is just so damn active. I love how he doesn't rely on his innate abilities and still plays as if he isn't all that skilled

 

[Krunker]

Undefeated! Murray looking solid.

 

[The_Jamal]

Other than our 3 guaranteed contract guys, didn't really see much in the rest of the guys these 3 games.. Matt Coleman was solid, but we kind of knew that already. O'Connell's tools popped a bit, but the shooting wasn't great. Horne, Rhoden pretty whatever.

 

[206Fan]

Max Christie has looked like the worst player on the Lakers and he's the guy they drafted.

All of these FOs need to stop drafting guys solely because of how they looked in high school. Christie was bad and inconsistent at MSU. If he weren’t a 5-star recruit, I don’t think he’d even get into the GLeauge pre-draft combine.

Shooter who can’t shoot… what could go wrong

That's how you quickly respond. The best thing about basketball is you typically get another game in a day or two to get that bad taste outta ur mouth

Kings undefeated in summer league but more importantly die Lakers scum die!

Hard not to get excited about this kid

Slow? hes 7ft 250, what are you expecting, Anthony Davis?

Impressive to be at 50% after missing 30 shots in game 2!

I'm expecting higher processing speed.

He doesn't even look that slow. Multiple times he was switched in smaller people and held his own. But this was definitely his worse game, he gor lost multiple times, but that doesn't really have anything to do with his quickness.

I mean, look at this defense

4/3 Barnes, Milsap, Harris. Okay.

And in the games where he played HIS game he was right on the money with his college stats.

 

[Sluggah]

Since last year’s summer league championship was such a great predictor of our regular season championship, i‘m feeling good with this California classic sweep.

I brought this up in the other game thread, the great thing about this is the SL coach isn't getting sent off into oblivion this time after being the only person with a brain in the coaching seat.

I mean, small sample size, but 43.8% from three at 5.3 attempts per game would have been good for only second among qualifiers in the NBA last season. Not first. Kid has some work to do.

bare minimum.

There's physical quickness and then there's mental quickness. For a dude that big, he should be getting more blocks and altering more shots. There were plenty of times when dudes just cruised right by him. On offense, it's an adventure of the black hole kind.

 

[iowamcnabb]

If Jamal watches and Slab doesn’t- keegan is awesome on offense decent on defense.

if Jamal doesn’t watch and Slab does- keegan is bad on offense and ok on defense

if Jamal and Slab watch- keegan is awesome on offense and defense.

keep that in mind fellas

I agree with his mental quickness. I thought you were referring to his physical quickness.

 

[kb02]

bare minimum.

I like Murray, but on a team with no stars, I prefer someone that has a chance to be a star with the fourth pick. That said, he'll do well as role player.
