    As a celtics fan, I’m looking at olynk and fab melo. I want to see if melo learned anything from a year of watching kg, I always thought that was going to either make or break melo. I wonder how his understanding of English and the game of basketball has gotten any better.

    But as they say you can’t teach size

    I think Tony Mitchell and Phil Pressey are two others to watch. Pressey is one of the top undrafted players and Tony Mitchell was D League rookie of the year

      agree 100% with you. More so for pressey than any other undrafted guy other than brandon paul form illinois. When pressey decides to be a facilitator he can control the other sides defense. If he plays that way consistently regardless of his size he would have a place in the league atleast until he was 30. His only detriments to much shot jacking and trying to be fancy, on offense. solid defender

    Harkless struggling to create his own shot, very right-hand dominant from what I’ve seen thus far.

    Pressey (sp?) really forcing it, throwing some very fancy passes.

    Olynyk is playing fine, but no better than expected of a four year player IMO, still annoyed with the pick for my Celtics – his arms are REALLY short.

    I want to see Melo get involved offensively.

    Olynyk is clearly offensively talented, especially for his size. He has a place in a spaced/spread offense.

    Defense/rebounding is a problem at this point though.

    i think pressey looks good out there. nice game so far if he plays like this the whole summer league, boston should really consider making him the back up go to point behind rondo. He did commit turnovers in which he tried to do too much at missouri. Still, in around 15min of playing the back up, while giving his best, i think he would be put in a position where he had to play smarter. Plus tired of seeing bradley put in a position that everyone can tell he is uncomfortable with.

    Olynyk hasn’t looked good on defense, but he has been pretty great on offense. That left-handed scoop floater to beat the shot clock was Steph Curry-esque.

    Also, Melo looks pretty bad out there. Just doesn’t have a high B-ball IQ.

    For Orlando, Oladipo and and Osby looks good, Nicholson and Harkless, not so much.

      Yeah, Oladipo has struggled a bit running the pick-and-roll. He is going to have to improve that, even if he just plays on the wings.

      Considering its like his first time ever playing the point I don’t think he’s doing that bad.
      He doesn’t look natural though and is very right-hand dominant. A few of his passes the idea was good, but the execution wasn’t there. Execution comes more from repetition, but at least the recognition is there.

    Im not really feeling Oladipo as a lead guard man.

    The badness of Fab Melo has been the highlight of this game for me.
