ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Magic - Vegas Summer League 7/7/2022

Yup OKC, Magic, Pistons actually run sets. Silas will be fired within a year.

 

all i know is presti was not having brunches in public with Chet. Nobody knew who Giddey was until the pick was in. Stone should have put Paolo in a room and sat on him.

 

Just want to say - Josh C is so bad.

 

Usman & Daishen too.

 

I don't mind Eason jacking though, if there is a time for him to chuck threes its the summerleague. He's a rookie so he has to use the summerleague, pre-season, and garbage time to experiment.

JC has no excuse though. He's going to be a key rotation player on the rockets, might even start some games due to others resting or injuries, no reason at all for what he did tonight.

 

Nix and Lamb are no fun to watch.

 

If only we played Garuba

 

Eason being the ballhawk on the boards is the highlight of the game for me. TyTy players like a floor general. Glad he shut up the idiots on this board.

 

Don't you ever believe that.

 

So you are saying magic wouldn't have picked banchero if they didn't know rockets would get him 2 picks later ? Honestly even if the rockets didn't say anything, who didn't know they they would pick him up?

 

Im more dissapointed in the coaching staff, the plays, the players that should have a better mindset than I am in Jabari...

In fact, I really liked Jabari... He can drive a little, is lethal from three... Im sure he will settle in on defense. He is a long body that can flat out shoot over people, Durant esque....

In worried about The Rockets system thou, there is no rhyme or reason for the way this team runs plays...

 

Im just saying dont give them a reason. The amount of chatter about Paolo was crazy. Everyone knew Chet was going to OKC but there was nothing out there pumping him up like Paolo to #1.

 

Well said !
Rockets have a go to scorer in green and a really good scorer in kpj. This is why jabari is such a good fit with the rockets. He provides 2 things we need from a big man, shooting and defense. That's a hard thing to find at 6 ft 10. He will be able to do more than just catch and shoot open shots but he wasnt drafted to play iso ball

 

I'm not going to worry about it.

Jabari was never going to be a #1 option guy, especially not his early seasons, and we sure don't need him to be.

I do think his defense was exactly as advertised, able to switch, able to play help defense, communicates, and that in the long run he's probably going to be a better fit for the team moving forward.

Everyone wants to be GSW but GSW guys fit. If they traded Klay for Beal as was rumored do they win those rings? Maybe not. Beal is probably the better one on one player, probably the better all around player, but he (klay) fits what GSW wants to do like a glove.

I think Jabari and Chet were better fits than Paolo. I think Paolo's game would have clashed with Sengun's and who knows if he meshes with Green and KPJ.

Jabari will come in day 1 and slide right in to the 4 spot and a role. He'll have shots created for him, he'll play defense, and he'll also stretch the floor for our guards and will allow Sengun to operate down low and on defense provide help.

I think he's going to have a very mobley like summer league because guys aren't looking to give him shots as we see. They are all looking to have that one big game that will get them a contract on a team. Like this Houstan guy or Lofton Jr. They are playing for their lives and for Jabari this is basically meaningless. He gets some run and gets to knock the rust off of him and that's about it.

 

Put Lamb on that list...Nix and Lamb need to stay in the GLeague

 

That's definitely sexual assault

 

At least no one is overreacting to the first Summer League game...

 

5/12 extremely efficient?

 

Jabari can be a taller better defensive Dale Ellis - he is going to be a super role player......maybe an all star game or a few...but asking him to be a superstar - he would need so much more work on his game......but it could happen.

I hate this coaching staff, HATE IT, they don't have a clue......where were the PnR's? Where were the pin downs? Where was the ball movement? Where was the player movement this was HORRIBLE on offense and our D showed effort but too much fouling and reaching.

I hated the coaching, I think Silas has to go.......if this is his doing, it was terrible.

I love how everyone is making career determinations on our entire young roster after just one PRE-pre season exhibition, take a long deep breath everyone and exhale on Saturday for round 2. Smh...
