Summer League

[SacTownKid]

Really impressed with Coach Dip through these interviews. Now he just has to put some results on the Vegas floor

Well, he must be coaching up because he'll be lucky to have a voice by the first game, haha.

I'd rather him run to the rim.

It's never a bad thing to try different stuff out in summer league, especially if you're emulating the two teams that made it to the end. 5 out basketball is what it's about now. You have versatile defensive guards that can draw and kick and bigs that can spot from the corners and wings.

Anyone know if the Vegas SL games will be televised?

4:30 pacific time on ESPN + and NBA TV. Not sure if you meant local tv

Anyone know if the Vegas SL games will be televised?

Look for them on NBATV, espn2, NCAsports ca

There doesn't appear to be any option of you want to record the SL games. ESPN doesn't have a record option and NBATV only offers their recap.

I'd rather him run to the rim.

A decent 3 point shot will make that easier though

I wouldn't.

He's already shown he can rim run. But if he can't shoot, he's never getting on the floor. Its the difference for him being out of the league in 2 years vs being a 10 year pro. He's got to show he can play that "big wing" to stick. Otherwise he's just a small ball 5 that can't shoot.. which unless your draymond defensively, you aren't getting PT

Clifford is a Swiss army knife type player. He does everything well. I watched him in the Mountain West against Nevada.
Cardwell can play defense and so can Clifford.
The Kings are not so easy to recognize these days.

Hmm...DirectTV has the Kings vs Magic at 4:30 - 6:30 PM today on channel 216 NBATV. There is a replay at 7 PM on 654 FDFLHD.

ESPN has Spurs vs 76ers today available to tape.

Now, I don't subscribe to NBATV but sometimes get the feed for some reason. It is listed as being taped on my program listing but this is DirectTV so one never knows what will happen.

Maxine- future starting 4 or back up 5

Clifford-future starter or Swiss Army knife off the bench

IJ-long term answer at the 4 off the bench

Carter- Future starter, trade bait or elite defender off the bench

Cardwell- future 3rd big/energizer bunny

A lot of what ifs heading into summer. Would be cool if all 5 guys would pan out but the odds are not in our favor for that. Still, if for no reason other than size, this group has the best chance to be ancillary pieces out of many years of “hopeful swings”.

True. Given the lack of size on our team, any promise shown by Maxine, IJ, or Cardwell would be a huge plus. Carter and Clifford are not so critical from a position perspective, but can provide with the option of young, cheap guys who play defense, and give greater flexibility wrt trading current vets.

Mason Jones is the example of how being a great team guy can extend your pro career for sure.
