    Gotcha, he is still really young, but he's going to have to get some kind of offense if he's going to be an NBA player.

    It will have the re-air, but not the live game. Astros play tonight and NBATV has the Rockets game. So, 10:30? Will be the first re-air

    So you think he'll be an NBA caliber bench player at some point this season then?

    My favorite part of Summer League has got to be the broad assumptions on players after Game 1. The reality is that the NBA proper is basically F1 vs the Summer Leagues Go Karts.

    Players like KD and Luka are gonna eat this kid alive. Can't wait to see him go against Derozan or Jimmy Buckets lol.

    Sure, mang, but there is nothing in the Summer, really nothing, I have nothing against an NBA Summer Cup where some NBA quality bench players play .....

    Better competition, the NBA Cup does not make sense every year.....maybe every 2 years.

    The Summer League has become a Family event where Regular Joes are meeting GMs, coaches and Draft Picks.....Meet & Greet

    Who the hell is "Great Osobor"?

    He sounds like an old Mortal Kombat boss.

    Well, if he cannot shoot - he will be playing in Manila against Sebastian Telfair.

    The shooting will be there with more minutes and attempts - he may not shoot over 40% this season from 3, but should at least be in the 38-40% range with consistent minutes and attempts and with KD's gravity.

    They always list their "in shoes" height. Reed is 6-1.75 barefoot. JG was listed at 6-4 and Sengun at 6-11 but they're probably lime 6-3 and 6-9 or something.

    KD might be the only player in history who lied about his height but in reverse.

    Some people believe Wemby (with the Spurs help) is doing the same thing.

    Yeah, but IIRC they had him listed at 6'2" (presumably in shoes) last season.

    NBA doesn’t post fractions, once a player reaches a half inch and over their height is rounded up

    6’2 is Reeds barefoot height listing

    Barkley listed at 6'6" and actually 6'4". Hakeem listed at 7' and actually 6'10". Been going on forever in the NBA, nothing new.
