Good thing the Pels didn’t do anything crazy like trade an unprotected pick next season for him.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Pels entire rookie class not off to the best start lol


Joan looking good for the TWolves though.

 

[Tetsujin]

Fears looking absolutely terrible

rookie numbers compared to what Cardwell is about to do with 12+ blocks

He'll get used to it. Offensive bigs like that can flounder for a bit in SL. He'll now have to learn to navigate a league where he can't just physically dominate everyone else.

Timme has been Brooklyn’s only non-terrible player to start this game. The nets are starting three first rounders lol

 

[iowamcnabb]

It wasn’t good not even close to the worst

 

[iowamcnabb]

The Wolves have a good Summer league team. I could see them contending for the “title”

 

[Tetsujin]

Saraf with a good stretch coming into the game.

 

[Tetsujin]

Timme!

 

[Tetsujin]

Grant Nelson was a steal for the Nets in the undrafted market.

 

[jiimbob]

Timme!

South Park reference, good one.

How have we not been calling him "Dairy Queen"? How is this not a thing?

I was not aware that people weren't calling him Dairy Queen? I figured him being on the same team with Zion was like

I must have just missed it. Hit me like a ton of bricks today, and I couldn't believe I hadn't heard it.

Flagg is just a shorter Maxime Raynaud.

 

[iowamcnabb]

It’s early but it looks like teams missed on Nembhard. At the very least he is a quality third point guard in the league.

Nope. Max would never go 5-20

A breakaway dunk only half as good as Maxime’s

Topic has massive upside if he's healthy, he's already got grown man strength and IQ while being just quick enough to get into the lane Probably won't see it until he's traded from OKC since SGA is incredible and Cason Wallace is a very good back up.

He's really impressed me on D plays kind of like Rubio but way bigger and stronger on that end which he never showed in the ABA.

Kasparas playing like bad Ben Simmons at the California Classic was apparently just a bait and switch for his Vegas debut lol

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Man filipowski is a nice player. would be a nice bench piece for the kings

 

[megapoxy]

Boogie Ellis had a nice match for the Suns summer league team but it's really hard for him to earn a roster spot at Phoenix that half of its roster is consisted of shooting guards.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Spurs drafted an all nba defender Carter-Bryant is unreal for him with the hawks pick we couldn’t even get hilarious stuff

 

[Tetsujin]

welp. I guess Cooper isn’t a bust after all

 

[pdxKingsFan]

And Dallas now announces they are shutting down Cooper for the remainder of summer league.

I get shutting down second year guys but isn't the whole selling point seeing the top draft picks?

Makes sense. Ever since Zion hurt himself at Summer League (to be fair, we didn’t know at the time that the man would be injured forever), teams have gotten really gunshy about playing the ‘star’ prospects more than absolutely necessary.
