Im looking at a guy who barley even got a chance to prove himself in the summer league and the same guy that dropped 33 on John Wall. I didnt say he would start ether

He's just too small.

I agree. It's definitely hard to prove yourself when you can't even throw a proper entry pass to a big man, constantly turn the ball over, can't catch an inbounds pass and can't shoot. I will admit that I'm lumping all the mistakes of the SL team guards together, and they don't all belong to Downey. But err ... he didn't exactly impress at all. None of them did.

he shot pretty well mac but as for cuad i want you to say that too nate robinson and Earl boykins it doesnt hurt to try him out

The post icon smilies are sure WAY more emotive than the insertable smilies. Sad eyebrow-guy tugs at the old heartstrings. This guy looks mildly discontented:

Boykins had much better handles and Nate Robinson is definitively more athletic in almost every measurable way.

I wasn't impressed with him. His outside shot was inconsistant and he drove into traffic over and over again, many times turning the ball over. Yeah, he made a few nice plays from time to time, but in general I doubt he would make many NBA teams and if so he would be the 12th man on the bench. What the Kings need more than a backup point guard is a combo guard. And one that can shoot the ball. Part of the reason Cousins had a lot of problems in the post was that the other team didn't guard our perimiter players and just doubled down on him.

Let me put it this way. Summer league may be just a small barometer with which to judge talent. But if you have talent, you should stand out from all those that don't. Because if you can't stand out in summer league, more than likey, your not going to stand out in the NBA.
