First off, I've always thought the Utah Summer League was complete junk; especially since it's in Utah. However, the Sixers/Jazz game has several guys I'm interested in watching. First off, it seems as if the Sixers should give Ace Bailey a bouquet of flowers for not working out for them. VJ Edgecomb was by far the smartest and most skilled player out there. The gap between him and everyone else was huge. He should do very well playing next to Maxey. Meanwhile, besides showing some incredibly quick hops, Bailey himself seems to have a long way to go. But this is just a first impression. Cody Williams has put on a few pounds (which was inevitable) but his body still isn't there yet. Walter Clayton Jr. definitely has the brains to be an effective NBA player, but his career depends on being able to get his shot off and defending. He sure doesn't bring much athletically. Johni Broome looked OK.
Bailey is trash. This is why tanking is just a bad idea now. Why pay so much money for a kid that still needs 3 years of development? Tilman seems like he is done paying ungrateful kids millions of dollars.
Summer League is usually a sophomore's contest with a few undrafted guys that are super talented. I like Edgecombe's performance.
Looks like OKC picked up a sleeper stud with Brooks Barnhizer. That org has some excellent scouting and development.
