    Plenty of shooting and enough D to win wire-to-wire. This is nice to see out of the back half of the Summer league roster. Love the way the coaches are getting this guys to play.

    Hold up, trading Matthew Mayer at this point might get us a Nick Jovic or Ant Davis.

    Defensive philosophy shift with Ime is obvious. Keeping teams at or below 100 ppg.

    Very impactful already on D at the point of attack and closeouts. World-class finisher at 19 years old. When he starts to layer moves on offense together, look out.

    Whitmore played well during the game, but his body language seemed disinterested at times. However, when he was engaged, he played amazingly. The defense against Cason Wallace was particularly impressive; he was making good cuts and showing his explosiveness. The only issue was that Whitmore tended to stand behind the three-point line and do nothing when he wasn't fully engaged in the game.

    Cavs and Rockets facing off in the championship! Book it.

    Played both ways like a top 5 pick. "Ooof that rim is still shaking." My favorite line from the broadcast crew.
