[Game] Kings vs Hornets (Vegas Summer League) Monday, August 9, 3 PM PT (6 PM ET), NBATV

LaMelo’s brother might not be an NBA talent,

Really does remind me of that time we let RonRon's fat brother player for our summer league team for no reason but to keep him happy.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Kings defense is relentless right now. Doesn't matter who's out there

 

[iowamcnabb]

Queta has a lot of work to do. I’m glad he gets to start in the Gleague. His rebound positioning is next level bad and he is sushi raw. Still like his potential long term though.

 

[The_Jamal]

Mitchell, Metu and Neemias all looking real strong. The other guys not so much on offense, but still providing quality defensive pressure.

 

[SLAB]

What’s this split screen BS?

 

[kb02]

Nice move by Bouknight. Not against Mitchell though.

 

[SLAB]

Bouknight just needed someone not named Davion Mitchell guarding him.

 

[Tetsujin]

Charlotte's best offense has been the refs calling tacky fouls

 

[Tetsujin]

Woodard actually defended Bouknight well on that drive, just a great shot.

 

[The_Jamal]

Nice move by Bouknight. Not against Mitchell though.

That was pretty great defense too by Woodard. Not sure where his weak-side help was.

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe don't let the random roster filler guys take any shots?

 

[SLAB]

I feel bad ragging on Woodard every time he touches the ball … but my goodness dude.

 

[SacTownKid]

Davion is getting a bit gassed.

 

[dude12]

Woodard can play with the main team defensively. On offense just spot him in the corner. He needs to be a 3 and D guy

 

[The_Jamal]

Steward is that guy who chucks 15 shots in at a 24 hour fitness run in a game 12. Jesus lol.

 

[EIM86]

Queta has a lot of work to do. I’m glad he gets to start in the Gleague. His rebound positioning is next level bad and he is sushi raw. Still like his potential long term though.

yeah he needs polishing but you can tell once his fundamentals are better he can play in the pros

You have to feel for them a little. How else can they stand out? Right now they are looking to impress Euro scouts. But man, some of them are doing pretty poorly out there.

 

[Tetsujin]

You can see the basic beginning of something with Davion on the point of attack and Metu and Queta challenging everything in the paint. When one of them are out though, things look ugly.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Things to work on: In-bounds plays.

 

[dude12]

Steward sucks bad

 

[Tetsujin]

Terry with the dumbest foul in summer league history.

 

[SacTownKid]

Someone needs to tell Bobby there's no tanking in summer league. Why did he put these guards in there at the end?

Terry plays within himself and Coleman occasionally doesn't look terrible but yeah the other random guys seem to be out there purely because Davion and the actual roster guys can't play all 40 minutes.

gotta hit PT quota.

Terry is good. He should on a squad. These other guys are truly random combo G's in a league where size rules right now.

 

[Double-K]

The best thing so far for Davion Mitchell, judging solely on the Summer League is that, he knows where to be on the court both offensively and defensively; and that most rookies catch the ball AND THEN think about what to do, versus Mitchell is usually decisive enough to make a move as he catches and more often than not he made the right decision.

Those are things you can kind of predict from the Summer League better than any other skill-based things.

 

[The_Jamal]

Starters D might legitimately have been the best half of Kings defensive basketball in 15 years. And Davion just bullying Bouknight was indeed the cherry on top.

*He's older than Tyrese and pretty much the same age as De'Aaron.
