Vegas Summer League GAME 4: Kings v. Cavaliers , 7/11/18 1:30 PT, 4:30 ET

[Section 101]

Giles looked very bad outside a few passes. I still think people need to cool the hype on his front. Other bigs in SL have looked just as promising, but their fans aren't calling them Garnett lol

Playing 6 games in 9 days had nothing to do with it. And the last one less than 24 hours after the last game.

And all those other guys also had the benefit of playing basketball past the age of 16, whereas Harry hasn't been able to aside from a short stretch in college.

How do you know what other fans are saying? I just saw another thread where you were hyping other rookies as “amazing”, so maybe you need to turn down the hyperbole also.

I don’t think he will be the next Garnett; however I have used that as an example of the type of player he seems to be. What would be an acceptable example in your eyes? A more athletic Jack Cooley, with a better low post game, better mid-range and three point shot, defensive instincts, speed and higher basketball IQ, but maybe a step below jack in box-out positioning? This is a fun game!!

Giles is a dude. Fox, Giles, Bagley, Hield and Bogi....that’s something to be excited about.

 

[NewArena]

I love our main young guys but I’m over summer league. The rest of that roster trying to make it in this league is just overall hard to watch lol wake me up for training camp, please.

Yep!!! you could not say this the night after we traded Cousins.


Great job, Vlade. I’m saying it now and I’m saying it in advance

 

[VF21]

Well, the fire (at least today's) is out. I've logged more hours listening to the scanner already this season than I have in years...

Anyway, did Giles get ejected? Details?

 

[VF21]

So I finally found a Jones tweet that explained how Giles got ejected. Two double technicals? Oh noes. The shame. I guess he's one step away from being Demarcus Cousins.

But..Giles isnt going to get his coach fired and will probably get his GM re signed.

I would be more excited if that was the starting lineup game 1. As Jerry would say, the defense better put on their track shoes.

And Grant Napear will love him.

Grant actually does love him at least so far. Cousins "disrespected" Grant so they had beef. Webb did the same. The only people Giles is going to disrespect belong to the other team on the court. Hes not a hot head per se. Just a strong and fiery competitor.

Both Cousins and Webber saw Grant for what he is. I think Giles will, too. He just won't call him on it.

Oh I agree. I think Giles is too professional for that. I think Giles will just avoid him for the most part and just give standard answers in interviews with him.

At least not right away.

 

[NewArena]

At least not right away.

Loll uh oh. cue the meme *7 years later ....*

 

[Ozymandias]

Was this the first game he's gotten minutes?

No he had 10 boards the other day. Has been getting 15-20 mpg.

 

[jcwkings]

Gabriel continues to be the clear standount from the non roster players. Stretch 4 prospect who shows defensive potential and energy and some ball skills.

meh.. I like Hield, and I like Bogdan.. Not really high on Fox, and don't think Bagley or Giles will be any good for us. I see a lot of less than 30 win seasons for us if we don't get better draft picks or free agents.
