    Yup, and a good example. But man, the young fellas are making it very, very tough right now.

    It's Summer League.

    Maybe if I say it enough times, it'll help!

    Thing is our rookies are doing their thing on a consistent basis, not just one big fluke game.

    That 40 point game was the worst thing to happen to Donte Greene

    Final stats tonight

    Jones 24pt/12 reb
    lamb 23pt/6reb
    white 6pt/12reb/8ass
    DMo 20pt/12reb

    Now that's a pretty dam good showing from the whole group. Hey Howard, we aren't good enough for you? Suck it! We'll rebuild with our young guys.

    Damn those are some nice numbers.

    Martin, Jones, White, picks, and filler for Howard or Bynum. Would LOVE to keep Lamb and Motiejunas.

    So will Lin be joining the summer league team? Lol our entire team at this point should be playing in summer league. A 3rd year player in Patterson is our veteran leader.

    I really like Lamb, White, Jones, and even D-Mo so far! Please do not trade away these youngsters for 1 freaking Dwight Howard. Lets have some young guns play and hopefully follow the OKC model of building through the draft. I know Donte Green scored 40 in summer league but all our players are scoring plus doing well overall. All 4 should be solid contriubtors this year.

    This is double SL because of the shortened season, no SL last year......
    More focus, more intensity

    The difference between Donte Green's 40 point game, and Lamb's 23 point game is completely different.

    Lamb has the whole repoirture and is consistently doing it game in and game out. Layups, dunks, spot up jumpers, floaters and pulling up off the dribble are all quality parts of his offensive arsenal. Lamb has the athletiscim and length to get his shot off over defenders, as well as the quickness to get by them.

    If we gut this team for a Dwight Howard coming off back surgery, when its been publicly stated that Bynum wants to be here, im going to go mad. Either way, we can still draft a Nerlens Noel with this juggernaught of a lineup were going to have. Please rebuild. We have good pieces to do so, but trading them for Howard who just very well may walk will put us back two years.
