    If there isn't room for Hartenstein on the 15-man then he gets that two-way instead of Adel. Or else he's gone

    Speaking of Gilbert Arenas, how did he fall to the second round in the first place?

    He owns the best season of any second round pick of this millennium.

    All I can think about right now is how Melton and Zhou's value are skyrocketing.

    Remember Donte Greene, had a great summer league and we were able to trade him before the season started for Ron Artest.

    San Antonio, Minnesota, I hope they're watching. :D

    Zhou can't defend 1-on-1 at the NBA level. When he switches onto the quicker, smaller guy, he is toast. He is also not a good rebounder.

    His off the ball defense is good since he can go get the block. And he is showing great touch with his blocks, since they tend to turn into fast breaks the other way.

    Adel Is the most intriguing player we have it there. Moreso than Melton.

    No. I think you'd have to give that to the three point shooter with a 7'8 wingspan. I do like Adel though

    Man i hate players like House, they literally only care about taking shots, no defense, never look for a pass, iq under the ground...freaking bums.

    I think he has to improve his 1v1 d, but it's not like he can't. He has the best lateral movement of any big we have, it's just his base and frame are too narrow. If he gets rocked one way with a crossover dribble his base just leans one way and it takes a long motion to recover.

    His bread and butter is definitely help side defense and his length to recover if does get blown by

    I just want to see more of Melton, Qi, Hartenstien, and Adel so I hope we win SL overall.

    Have we ever won summer league?
