Summer League 2021 Game 2

Why is Doris calling all these guys Mr?

It's just weird

 

Love Jalen but like I said before I think Cade is going to be a different level of star. A better shooting, worst scoring Luka.

Greens lack of first step so far worries me but it’s early. I’m also behind

 

They need to run some mother****ing plays for him. Let him get in a flow.

 

I think JC knows Green has his role and so does Alp, so JC has 1 mindset to carve out a 6th man scorer role. Maybe we should let him grab the dreb and go ala russ with the bench unit

 

It was just the first quarter for Green, he had 3 quick turnovers due to him being a bit nervous it seems. He calmed down and went on a run in the 2nd.

 

Y'all up on Cunningham's pole, but he -5.

 

She’s a cougar. This is her favorite time of the year.

 

I really dislike Doris Burke. Not necessarily for what she says but just everything about her

 

I think we'e seeing Green just doesn't have a lot of experience and confidence with his handle. He's had to work pretty hard to bring the ball up under pressure, and I think if he were a little more confident he go to the rim with a little more force. But everything is a little hesitant.

 

Green's biggest issue is his playmaking ability, the press is killing him and the traps because he just can't make those reads. Thankfully, it won't be something he'll have to rely on as he's a pure SG but yeah, something to work on.

 

I love how quick these summer league games are

 

they play with better, more experienced players much earlier. they aren't sectioned off according to age the way we do.

most top prospects in the US don't get that experience until they get to the NBA.

if Josh Christopher (for example) had to fight 30 year old vets for playing time as a 16, 17 year old kid he probably wouldn't have the tunnel vision and selfish offensive game. but when you're one of the best players in your class, you develop the habits of a player accustomed to being the #1 option, which they won't be once they get to the NBA

 

Overheard in the paint tonight:

I AM SENGUN AND I AM HERE TO EAT ALL YOUR SHISH KEBABS AND FINISH IT OFF WITH BAKLAVA.

 

Josh Christopher is sneakily having a good game

 

Sengun, I am glad you came to Houston rather than OKC, plus there are probably no Turkish restaurants in OKC.

 

How can you be here, while also playing the game.

 

How is tripping over Sengun a foul?

 

Doris and Rachel Nicols prowling the hallways of Thomas and Mack lol

 

He'll get those post ups and easy looks once he's on the court with true floor generals like KPJ or Wall.

 

Christopher pulling up like he's Harden.
