Vukcevic looking two years away from being two years away

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh man, Johnny Davis still doesn't remember how to dribble. Jeez

 

[Tetsujin]

Forgot the Wizards got Baldwin from the Warriors in the CP3 trade. Good for them.

 

[CVKingsfan]

This Memphis Grizzly Summer League Team looks like a team of huge, strong football players...and they are leading the Bulls late in the 4th!

I know I'm bias obviously to the Serbian player but Bulk Jovic at 6'11 with the skills he has (expert at drawing fouls and shoots them at like 90%) is a absolute MONSTER, I did not see this level of potential in him I knew he would have a very high floor but his ceiling with the extra 2 inches of height and weight is insane the dude is a literal train on the fastbreak that can eurostep and has elite passing.

Good to see Petrusev have a solid game I really hope Denver/GSW or even Sac pick him up now there is no roster spot for him in Philly.

Scoot reminds me a lot of Baron Davis the only difference between the two is athletically Baron was more of a two foot jumper where as Scoot seems to be way more explosive off 1 foot. Amen Thompson has absurd potential some of the gifts he has are god tier.

Anyone watch the Dallas OKC game….

OKC
Wallace looks like a very good pick up for them. A defensive point with a smooth shot (6 3 point shots) Hit a half court shot at the end of the shot clock….

Holmgren is going to make trips to the rim a challenge. Hit a few stretch 3’s.

this team could be very good and long ….
Wallace 6’ 8.5 wingspan
Shai Gilgeous 6’ 11’
Josh Giddy 6’ 7.5”
Jalen Williams 7’ 3” wingspan
Chet Holmgren 7’ 6” wingspan.

Dallas had Hardy playing some point and decision making was poor but the kid can shoot. He will for sure be a catch and shoot rotation player for them.

O-Max had a couple good finishes at the rim. 1-2 from 3 but the Dallas guards couldn’t make a pass to save their life. But with Kyrie and Luka they will never have to.

Embarrassing someone would compare a summer league game to an all star career

 

[Ozymandias]

Jabari Smith Jr is gonna win the SL mvp in 1½ games... my goodness..


And also ---- That was an unbelievable performance from Keyonte George...

 

[Tetsujin]

Shaedon has the potential to be an absolutely spectacular scorer but his lack of pretty much any other average to above average skill is sorta concerning. Dude is more allergic to passing than Buddy Hield trying to meet his scoring incentive numbers.

 

[iowamcnabb]

How does Mark not know how to pronounce Rupert?

 

[SLAB]

Wemby has arrived.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kris injured or did he already get benched for some reason?

 

[Tetsujin]

Spurs playing with dead legs right now. Meanwhile Portland’s random backup PG destroying everyone with Scoot out with an injury

 

[Tetsujin]

Johnny Davis’s second summer league going much much much better than his first one.

 

[SLAB]

More Wemby. Less everyone else for the Spurs SL roster.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Wemby has arrived.

Someone should tell this guy.

[SLAB]

WEMBY

 

[SLAB]

Spurs dudes went full tunnel vision after Wemby hit that three. Lol

 

[captain bill]

More Wemby. Less everyone else for the Spurs SL roster.

Lots of dudes not looking for him last two minutes when open and playing themselves out of the org

 

[Ozymandias]

Lester Quinones looks good out there! He always passed the eye test more than his results led you to believe in college. Glad to see he's obviously in peak form.

Know its the warriors n their the enemy but players like that I hope can just do their best n improve, cuz he could always shoot it really well.

That's BBIQ 101. If you can do things on the court in SL that help make Wemby look like a stud, Pop is taking notice.

 

[Ozymandias]

I know everyone and their mama wants to talk about Wemby but I am marveling at Dominick Barlow...

Can't believe the Spurs got a player like that in the UDFA pool at that age.. We missed out bigtime..

 

[serbiangoat]

Vukcevic is such a strange player displays sometimes immense skills/smarts than incredible stupidity/lack of awareness, in his second game he looked 2 years away from being 1 year away at least.

I really liked Walker from Indiana couldn't shoot but all the other stuff was fantastic

Shaedon has the potential to be an absolutely spectacular scorer but his lack of pretty much any other average to above average skill is sorta concerning. Dude is more allergic to passing than Buddy Hield trying to meet his scoring incentive numbers.

He reminds me of Nick Young with like a 50 inch vertical.

 

[ESP47]

Cam Whitmore has been impressive so far. I like his game.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Jaime Jaquez in street clothes again today, if anybody’s wondering about where the negotiations on a Dame trade are. Jovic is dressed.

 

[Tetsujin]

GG has not looked good at all in Summer League

Always enjoy the stories that end with “turns out player x was a really chill dude!” Instead of the ones that end like “turns out that when I asked player W for a picture his security dude pushed me and now my legion of fans are praying on his downfall for no good reason in particular”
