beautiful set up by Fox

WCS also brought nothing in SL last year. I'm sure glad we gave his spot up to a no-name journeyman from the D-League!
Such a ridiculous hot take. I get he's having a bad SL... but to already give up on him completely is so absurd and upsetting.

When you are a GM feel free to make all of your decisions and judgements from Summer League. Would like to see how that turns out.
Blown defensive assignments, missed passes, not running crisp sets - none of that is a big deal in Summer League. But missed free throws, horrible outside shooting, poor rebounding, lack of physicality, those bother me a lot.
And Skal and Papa not being able to get anything going other than dunks off dumpoffs or offensive boards is a big concern, especially for Labissiere.

very unhappy about being 0-2
I'm okay with the idea that Papa is a project, but at the very least we should see occasional flashes of what he can eventually bring to the table on a consistent basis but we just aren't so far.
I don't have an idea of what kind of a successful player he could turn into.
Even just a big body that sets great picks, rolls hard and is an interior defender would be a valuable role player but he's not showing any of that really.

Cooley would have scored back to back to back to back clutch shots. And saved a baby from a burning building during the timeout.

Fox has great control already. Totally looking forward to him this season already. The rest look to need some time.
The only negative I'd have really is that the Grizzlies all looked way more together and enjoying playing together, need to get that chemistry and enjoyment from all the new guys

By again and again, I mean last year too... this is not all about one or two summer league games. again and again... that's what I said. shown nothing, again and again... since the day he arrived.
I hope you and Slab have reason to gloat when he becomes a real rotation player in the future, I swear to God I'm rooting to be wrong. But now... he is not valuable.
analogy to WCS is dumb come on... WCS was a successful Div 1 player it is not the same at all./

Even if you cut Papa, why on earth would you replace him by signing Cooley?!?! There are a ton of other big guys that appear to be able to play at the next level on some of these other teams SL. No part of Cooleys game translates to the next level. None.

no apparent reason? it is a reluctant conclusion that he is terrible. if you see the upside that's great I hope you're right. But a) I don't hate him and b) my disappointment in him is not for no apparent reason.
are you saying you want him on the floor in a close game you're trying to win? Or you can see him rounding into a guy like that? great - I hope you're right.

Oh I'm not too high on him..I just was saying 2 summer league games mean nothing to me.
Thing is, not every player is going to pan out. Some are going to be solid rotation players, some end up busts, some end up surprising and are studs.
I'd expect nothing less.
I like Papa. I want him to succeed.
I'm just not seeing anything promising right now. Hopefully he shows more next game.

Cooley is a D-leaguer. He's played professionally for years now. Every year we get some scrub scrapping in Summer League that the fans pine for and no one signs him. Papa may have been terrible but if an NBA team signs him to a roster spot then that team has bigger problems.
Honestly no one should be caring about what he's doing out there.

Hield, Jackson and Mason shoot 8 for 37 tonight. Do they all have the yips?
Some are to hard on Big Papa. He was 2 for 4 with 7 boards in 19 minutes. SL is not for Bigs.
