VF21. You may have to do a Justin Jackson thread. 3 games out of 5 now he has lit it up

 

[VF21]

Wow. That got ugly all of a sudden. Our summer league bench needs to step it up.

2 of them knocked each other out. I don’t think we really worked this group as 5 man squad at any point lol

 

[VF21]

Note to new guys: When Justin Jackson is open and calling for the ball, GET IT TO HIM!!!!

This summer league is showing me one thing that I was kind of hoping for anyway. Bogdan IS and should be our 2nd pg. I’d like to see a 3 guard rotation of Fox, Bogdan, and Heild. With only garbage time for anybody else. Much like the Bibby, Jackson, Christie rotation

Wow. NICE defense by Jackson.

 

[VF21]

DEFENSE!!!

 

[The_Jamal]

I actually like what Auguste has been showing through these games. Good physical profile, pretty fluid defending on the perimeter, good athlete, very physical. Maybe a 2-way candidate.

 

[VF21]

I LOVE THIS TEAM!

Nice decision by Jackson NOT to leave his feet guarding that Clipper guy in the corner.

 

[VF21]

Wow. Another nice outside shot.

DEFENSE!!

 

[VF21]

Well, a few mistakes and not playing Giles in the second half probably made the difference. I don't care, though. I'm still happy with what I'm seeing or the most part.

Maybe Justin Jackson is the SF we have been looking to get all offseason

And hard to not like a guy that's doing about a quarter of your team's rebounding.

Consistently is the key. I’d like to see 10-12 from Justin a night. Same from Giles. I expect fox buddy and bogdan to be in the 15-18 range.

 

[Ozymandias]

Frank Mason with another subpar performance

Yeah I’m over Frank. There is a reason for 4 years. He was topped out. Ready to move on

Any reason why Giles didnt play much in the 2nd half?

 

[VF21]

Any reason why Giles didnt play much in the 2nd half?

Yep. Five games in 7 nights AND they wanted to get more looks at the other guys. They know what they've got with Giles. I'd just as soon they not push him too hard. It is just summer league and it's apparent he's as ready right now as somebody who has been playing the past couple of years.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Any reason why Giles didnt play much in the 2nd half?

Rest. After 9 halves of basketball in 7 days, he got to sit his 10th.

I really liked seeing Jackson wanting the pick and roll with Gabriel at the end of the game.

 

[The_Jamal]

Gotta see something from Frank the rest of summer league here. Just not making good decisions or really getting his teammates involved. I don't put much into summer league play, but it does matter more for 2nd year guys and they should hopefully look like they've improved from the previous year. Not there yet with Mason

Yeah. Shame too. I was rooting for him. It's gotta suck to dominate that hard in college, especially at a program like Kansas, and then come to the NBA and be considered a bad player.

I don't think he's a bad player necessarily. I just think he's showing a lack of BBIQ and court vision.

Over Frank. Weird take but I feel like a lot of his success statistically is on accident/last option stuff. I don’t see him as a future facilitator...I’m very intrigued by JJs performances since we called for his head after that first against LAL. He has the tools to make it, and is showing the mind as of late. I’m into it...Giles has potential everywhere, I can see why people had him so highly rated pre-injury. Give Gabriel a 2 way. One more solid game out of Auguste and I feel he deserves one too. Length and athleticism always deserves a long look in my opinion. Go Kings
