I was impressed that he had an open three and still passed to Comanche down low. Team player.

Playstyle not age!! But good to know I guess I just bring this up if Trey were ever too expensive to afford for whatever reason.

Like I said earlier I'd like to see Daum in Stockton. Work on the mid-range and who knows.

It was a complete game, unlike the last time out. He even had five assists.

I don't think I've ever heard so many nice things said about Sacramento and the organization live, at once... not even Mark Jones...

Already got 2 losses so most likely out of the finals seeding.
Lot of good here in the final game.
-Ford very deserving of a two-way slot. Seems absolutely perfect to be our 3rd/emergency PG if injuries happen. Not sure if he's got the size to be a regular rotation player, but certainly good enough for an end of bench guy.
-Daum at the 5 was real interesting. If he can actually shoot, I'd like to see more in Stockton. Just the threat of him being able to shoot opened up the offense. He was legit awesome everywhere else, including rim protection. Not a great sign for Queta that this is the best we've looked on O all summer with him at the 5.
-This was the Kessler game we've needed to see. Super active on defense, got after it on the glass and his offense looked great. Several great creation plays of him shooting off the dribble.
-Slawson; bleh. Didn't improve at all throughout the summer on O and had his worst game here. He's good on defense, but not seeing anything close to an NBA player on offense.
-Colby didn't shoot well, but just continues to be impactful everywhere. Awesome block on Miller. I think he's really going to shine once we get him minutes next to our good players with the big league club and can dial back his offensive role.
-Keon a bit of a mixed bag in this game, but still finished strong. He's absolutely an NBA player; I think the best course of action is he basically runs the G-League team for another season and he's ready to roll the following year to slot into a rotational role. A guy like Ford doesn't have a whole lot to improve on in the G-League, but I think Keon could use another year to really sharpen his ball-handling and on-ball skills.

We made the playoffs it looks like. Game on Saturday at 3:30 EST

Pretty spot-on.
Slawson can use some time in Stockton to catch up to Kessler's level.
Colby just seems like a Swiss Army knife. I'm confident he'll be able to crack into the rotation.
Let's keep it a buck: why would you have?

Consolation game. Only the top 4 teams have a chance for the championship.

Would have guessed about 25%. Good to know

Summer League is usually a clear display of NBA players vs. non NBA players. Kessler is an NBA player. And he's good.

According to Basketball Reference, Keon Ellis shot 50% and was the team's second leading rebounder across the last four games. He had 2.8 offensive rebounds and 5.8 overall per game. Ellis also came in second the Ford in assists per game.
His game still seems a little out of control, though, even for Summer League. Frantic. Or maybe that's just his style of playing. I wonder what Mike Brown thought?

Jean Claude Van Daum
That Carton guy from the other team might be the GOAT PG left handed dunker, aside from Gary Payton III I can't think of another really elite dunking lefty thats like under 6'2/6'3.

the speed of the game is completely different. It’s good he shot 40% from 3. Not certain it will translate but it is the stat that matters the most from this summer league. It’s an encouraging start. Ellis, Jones have a slim chance to get rotation minutes. Everyone else is playing to be picked up.

I look forward to seeing more of Mike Daum and Keon Ellis this afternoon. No updates on Colby Jones that I have seen, but then, Twitter is no longer available to casual users like myself. Will Jordan Ford keep up the torrid pace?
