ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets - Vegas Summer League 7/15/2024

Cam reminds me of Rocket legend KPJ in regards to a lot of wasted motion which also equates to wasted time on the shot clock. A lot of times he doesn’t beat his man of the dribble then he keeps the ball and dribbles some more instead of rotating that ball out. One play for instance he didn’t get a step on the defender as he drove with defender in front of him. He then decelerated did a crossover then moved backwards and dribbled some more. So much wasted time while not shifting defenses. Really pointless offense. Something he really needs to work on is less dribbling and getting that ball out. Haven’t looked it up but he must avg more than 7 dribbles per play.

 

He so unselfish

 

Didn't you hear? He's guaranteed replacing Jalen when the season starts, despite having worse shooting percentages in the Summer League than Jalen has in the real one

 

Cam, finally gets a bucket

 

There ya go, AJ.

Fight back

 

We shooting 3s like our actual team

 

AJ! Finally!

 

Also Cam still has yet to play SG for the Rockets.

 

I think his teammates were more than a little timid passing Reed the ball when he was open enough to take a shot.

 

AJ again!

 

Griffin coming alive !

 

Yeah that's why they like to say "we're stacked on the wings" as a negative for Jalen rather than the way more truthful "we have loads of small forwards." Ime's a real coach, he's not likely to take a SF/PF and push him into the 2 guard spot in his 1st season.

 

Reed is going to find aj for 3 no matter what

 

Reed with another deflection

 

Easily the best stretch we've seen from Griffin, he actually looks like a coordinated professional player.

Sheppard is already a master at finding the corner.

 

This could be the first game I have ever appreciated Ryan Hollins.

 

Griffin was super upset having to bring the ball in bounds because it meant he had to pass the ball.

 

Griffin’s wingspan

 

It's too bad our best 3 point shooter is the only one that can hit our open shooters. Ain't nobody returning the favor
