Well he did get yanked immediately after that. He's played 7 minutes in the 1st half.

They must be trying to develop the other players for the NBA roster. Orrrrr, they don't want Ben to play and learn bad habits. It's not fun to watch, that's for sure.

Yeah, he's no Steve Nash putting the ball on the floor.
But I'm thinking regular season he'll have no reason to dribble. They surrounded ray and Ben with some horrible talent. Man. Showed all tourney, but it's glaring right now. There are two worse teams? I don't think so. Do you get draft picks for a bad summer league?
I am on page 2 of 4 so far in here, but this is how I see him right now. I haven't seen anything that is a red flag as his ability to be a starter if the other positions are solid. A lot of the shots he and McLemore are taking just go away with better guys available so the not passing thing should never be a problem with a good coach. I doubt Malone lets the guards run free like Smart did with IT.
That play just now, McCallum spent a good 5-10 seconds trying to pass the ball into that guy who was trying to post up way to far away. The guy he was trying to pass to couldn't get open or create any space or give him a good target to pass it into. JT, Cousins, Landry and even Hayes would have been able to use their body to position it to receive that pass.
McCallum didn't force it into the player and cause a turnover, he backed it out and looked for something else which is something that tells me he does have the understanding to run the point.

This team just cannot get a good shot. We are never open.

Hell, even Justin Williams would have been able to establish position there.
Maybe he is hurt or tired or something, only good reason really. You would think we would give him all the burn we could during summer league games.
What's the number they get in summer league, 10?

You can't foul out in summer league.

yeah, fouls are almost never an issue, certainly not there.
Could be fatigue. You worry its injury.
Haha, it was a pretty sad attempt. The dudes arms and legs were flailing all over the place.
The usual 6 in tourney play.

May have been on that hard foul early in the game. I think he may have been pulled out right after that. Don't want to go back and check because I can't stand watching that horror show again.

Here live.
You get 10 fouls normally, but since we are now in "tournament" mode...standard nba rules apply.
So you only get 6 fouls which is why Ben is stuck on the bench.

Not by sign lady.
She always sits behind the kings bench, while I always sit mid-court to better see the floor.
It's ok we can still be friends.
