    Don't really care for Whitmore to play. If anything it would be nice to see how Sheppard fares with all the defensive attention on him without Cam on the court.

    Sucks in the half court. Needs more reps.

    If Cam is playing my guess is that he insisted on it. Could be that they came so close to the summer championship last season and cam knows he'll never play another summer league again and just wants to go for it for the vibes only.

    Just speculation.

    Don’t like Cam playing at this point. I thought it made sense last year to shut Bari and Tari down after 2 games since they were sophomore rotation players. Now I’d say the same for Cam; he’s too good for summer league.

    Reed on the other hand, should be playing full summer league like Cam did last year.

    I also want to take this opportunity to announce my candidacy for president of the Orlando Robinson fan club.

    Sometime during game 3, I hope they unleash Reed and tell him to cut it loose and shoot every chance he gets. Give him a 10-minute stress test just to see what happens.

    Maybe sometime in the 3rd quarter.

    These guys won't be playing organized 5 on 5 basketball for months after this, let them get their reps in.

    The hell with it. Give him the whole game, or however long he’s in the game, for stress test. I wonder how many points he gets. :)

    We've seen what we've needed to see so please no stupid risky plays from Cam or Reed here, don't want a repeat of Amen getting injured last season.

    It's not the end of the world if either get dinged up a bit, neither are going to be starting to begin the season barring some big trades.

    I could be wrong, but that image doesn't look like starting lineups for either team....


    Both teams would be starting 4 new players...

    Specifically for Detroit, I haven't seen any reason Holland wouldn't be playing. And Detroit would be starting 3 guys who've been getting DNP's....

    Just seems odd....

    I’d get Reed and Cam healthy and R2G for the season. They will be in the big boys rotation.

    If teams like the Pistons start resting guys after the first two games, Vegas Summer league is going downhill fast.
