Glad to see Canaan playing well. With Lin out of the way they're going to have to see what he's got.
i cant seem to find any info about who/when the Jazz play next, you sure they arent eliminated?
Unfortunately they are eliminated after their loss to the Spurs today in the Ro16.
Oh, I see...
so is SL over for teams that lost today?Nope, they goto Consolation Round.
Details? I vaguely remember hearing about this somewhere.
so glad I don't have to see ShaBrick fucking suck until November.
I'm too hype about Ennis though.
I guess this is how Ph33 feels about Beasley.

http://www.nba.com/2014/news/07/15/summer-league-tournament-seedings/
Each of the 24 participating teams has competed in three games since the event tipped off on July 11, with the results of those games determining the 1-24 seedings in the single elimination tournament. Each team will compete in at least two more contests in Las Vegas - a minimum of one game in the single elimination tournament and then either compete in a consolation game or in the next round in the championship bracket.
Teams seeded 9-24 will compete on Wednesday, July 16, with the winners of those contests advancing in the tournament to play Thursday, July 17, against teams seeded 1-8, who earned a first-round "bye." Teams that lose a game on either Wednesday or Thursday will play on Friday, July 18. The single elimination championship tournament resumes on Saturday, July 19, with a champion being crowned on Monday, July 21.
^ Nice! I like how they've greatly expanded SL year after year.
So Vonleh got his shit stuffed 3 times by Jeff fucking Withey today.
Somebody check on DY.

its bleacherreport but its pretty interesting how it started from like a 10 minute conversation with Stern
and the coaches have a ping pong tourney??
Knicks advance to Saturday Quarterfinals vs. Hornets at 4 PM.
THardJr. - 8/17, 25 pts. Not as many rebs/assts/stls but he's not getting blanked anymore
Larkin - 6/12 for 14 pts., 5 rebs., 5 stls. Had a tough start but rallied the troops. Kid is as tough as I remember in college.
lot of other rangy bigs on the team played well, plus Shannon playing for a job.
Did tenacious D play well?

Withey is actually good though

Michael was actually a decorated college player whose potential we have destroyed. It's why LeBron left.
We'll see if we can right our wrongs with Ennis.
I don't know what the Jazz are going to do about the PG situation.. Exum clearly needs the ball in his hands. He isnt a good enough shooter to play the 2 effectively yet. But its clear to me that his ceiling is way higher than Burke's..
He reminds me of a young Tony Parker, but bigger. Hopefully he can develop a jumpshot like Parker did.

If Burkes percentages bump up as you'd expect from a second year guy then you could be looking at a 15, 7, 3 PG on low 40's FG and mid 30's 3PFG.
I'd just be hesitant about pulling the rug out from under him..

I watched 0 seconds of summer league this season compared to watching like every game last season...
Anybody who watched the Mavs, how did Ledo aka Basketball Hitler look?

I think it's clear that Joel Embiid had the best Summer League of any of the top 7 picks. His Twitter > Everyone's play
Can somebody just finally explain why you guys call Ricky Ledo "Basketball Hitler"?
Because I didn't understand it during the draft year and when I google all it does is take me to the draft thread from last year, lol

Exum's jumper seems terrible, but his other weaknesses seem more like age than anything else. Just hope he can fix that jumpshot.
zach lavine's looking like Westbrook in SL. pretty fucking atheltic.
his jumper is sooooooo gooofy looking though, even if it goes in.

Lets all remember guys like Josh Selby dominating summer league.
I'm not saying its worthless but its pretty close to it.

despite being 2 years away from being 2 years away, brazilian kd had a better summer league than exum and jabari.
the fact that jabari turns the ball over all the time while taking really bad/difficult shots is worrying.

Jabari moves incredibly well off the ball and does a good job of choosing his spots on the floor. He has some sexy shake to his game for a guy his size and once he learns how to carry himself more fluidly and cut down on turnovers (which will absolutely happen with a little more experience), he's gonna start showing that real potential that people have been expecting from him.
Jabari will be fine as long as he's willing to work on his game. KD was pretty bad in his first season too.
Ben McLemore Full SL Highlights 2014.07.17 vs Timberwolves - 22 Pts, 4 Assists
I missed this game but gotdayum McLemore looked like a 10 year vet in these highlights compared to his previous 2014 SL games.
It has nothing to do with shitty SL competition either. He moved with and without the ball like I've never seen him. Taking his time, changing speed/directions, making the right/simple plays.
#hope

Hairston is already building a reputation of being a scumbag. Steve Clifford is gonna get in that ass though.
Hardaway Jr is literally baby JR Smith
it's crazy.
Zach Lavine's game yesterday : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2NQRNzMJLM
anybody else hat/love his jumper? It reminds me of Westbrook's but he's always fading back instead of leaning forward to draw a foul like ynb does. It's so goofy.
get hype Rodeo!

Baby JR but you know.....without the crazy
I would like to see the Young Fuckball game. Appoint PJ Hairston and Ryan Ledo as captains and let them select their team. Then fuckball away for four quarters.
You're right, eti. This Eric Moreland guy is alright.
dat stuff
Wouldn't mind signing him for cheap so we actually have somebody taller than 6'8" backing up DMC.

It's a shame MarShon Brooks likes to constantly pretend that he's Kobe Bryant circa 2005-2006 because he could be a legit role playing 2-guard in this league if he just took off his clown shoes.
I'd put him on some contract and send him to Reno D League for a month. He gobbles up boards, blocks shots, and has mean attitude that intimidates guys at the rim even before he goes for the block. Good anticipation on blocks, too.
He has very little offensive game though. He just sets picks and tries to finish at the rim when he gets the chance.

Zach Lavine's game yesterday : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2NQRNzMJLMIt is definitely a weird jumper, but it tends to fall. What I took away from his Summer League is that his problem isn't really his handle or his shot, it's shot selection. He needs to get stronger, too, to be able to finish, but he's 19 and I think we can fix those things, so in all it was encouraging.

Of course, summer league is glorified pick up games and means nothing.
Glen Rice Jr. just sent this game into Triple OT off a nothing but net 3 on his way to a 40 point game.
Sam Cassell drew up an amazing play. Popovich-Spurs-esque.

Would have liked to have seen McBuckets one more time before pre-season. Hope his injury isn't too serious.

The Kings have 6 PFs on the roster, but none of them do what Moreland does and what they need.

Hopefully he keeps it up in the last game or two. Better chance that we snag him.
I feel like I remember Vivek giving Moreland a standing ovation during that game. It might have been after that insane rejection. So at least they definitely aren't overlooking him.
