Thats a decent amount of assists and steals coming from a SG. Shooting percentages look good. Small sample though.

 

I'm sensing a theme with all of our picks and Summer League additions so far (Capela, Johnson, Udofia, Kramer). Defense, defense, defense.

 

Canaan, Covington, and Daniels are going to absolutely destroy other summer league teams if they can get a rim protector.

 

Signed Akil Mitchell. Rebounder and good positional defender apparently.

You do know Milwaukee will be starting Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo...

btw: The first day CLE play MIL...that's Parker against Wiggins

BE THERE!

 

Mitchell reminds me of chick Hayes without a ten foot shot

 

Chris Udofia willing be playing for Rockets too.

 

Canaan and Covington and Daniels to an extent are going to be the players to watch. As it stands they are our backup 1, 2, and 3. Assuming Lin is going to be moved.

In my opinion Nick Johnson is already a better player than Canaan.

Another defense minded combo guard...

 

Canaan getting moved? Nick Johnson, Geron Johnson, Chris Kramer, & Chris Crawford. That's 4 combo guards with defense highlighted as part of their skill set.

Excited about Jabari Brown and Jahii Carson. Perimeter defenders galore too.

 

Auditions for the Vipers.

 

Yep. Three guys with a lot of time on the court together with most likely a deep roster should handle a talented player or two.

 

We don't even know if Nick will be running the 1 or the 2.
