rileymcshea3ParticipantAs a big NBA fan I try to watch every summer league games possible, unfortunately this year I’m on vacation as soon as it starts and only watched about 5 games.
Can y’all give me some insight on what’s going on and who’s been playing good?

high floorParticipantMyles Turner, Aaron Gordon, and Stanley Johnson have been the most impressive to me.
I’ve advocated Gordon to focus being more of a PF, but he looks like he’s taken some steps toward creating his own shot. Plus he drained 6/12 from 3pt range… I’m not ready to say he’s a future star at the SF spot, but he’s shown he has a really good work ethic to go with his athetic ability.
Myles Turner has been fantastic. He’s running more fluid (not there yet completely though) and Larry Bird has already said he’s better than he thought he was overall. There’s so few legit shot blocking stretch 4’s in the league, and Turner is showing the potential to one day be that type of player.
Stanley Johnson has justified his high selection thus far. He’ll have a hard time getting big minutes out the gate, but I’m surprised that his overall skill-set has survived the jump in competition thus far. Looking like a steal

festar35ParticipantTotally agree with the list above, really excited about Turner (and Joseph Young) for Indiana.
I think Mudiay, Clarkson and Hood all looked very nice as well.
Mudiay truly has makings of a franchise PG due to his ability to read the court, improving jumper and his size benefits him hugely, as he uses it well.
Clarkson IMO can be a scorer, he has an ability to create, but if his key role is to go get buckets I think he will flourish. Can get into the lane, has a nice mid-range/3pt game as well. He is deceiving in terms of size and athleticism as well.
Hood kinda reminds me of Rashad Lewis (Seattle version) I think he will be a fantastic shooter and him with Hayward give Utah a fantastic wing combo.0 - Posted on: Wed, 07/15/2015 - 7:13pm #1001215

ZachAttackParticipantDon’t know how much you care… but Bryce Cotton is playing great in the SL, had a 28 point game against Timberwolves and 20 points tonight against the Wizards. He never really had a weak game. I really like the kid and hope he sticks with the Jazz for a while. Hope that helps you a little bit.

ZachAttackParticipantForgot to metion Johnson, he’s looking like he will contribute a lot from Day 1. Also Turner looks NBA Ready and has had many great games. Those 2 will contribute to their respective teams immediately.

TRC1991ParticipantSean Kilpatrick (Cincinnati) playing for the Bucks.
Grown man’s game, sharpshooter, can score from all over the court, high IQ player

ChewyParticipantWilbekin is playing very well. I like him, but Pierre Jackson got the contract.
LAC signed 2nd round pick and he is playing much better than I thought. Could get some minutes right away if LAC try to rest Pierce for the playoffs.
WCS is WCS. For good or bad, he is doing exactly what people thought he would do.
Tyus Jones is struggling.
I like watching Aaron Craft play, but I just don’t see him making an NBA roster this year.
Brooklyn needs to sign Boatright and Alexander. They both would be low cost/ high potential.
McGary is a beast and needs more minutes for OKC this (not over Serge obviously).
I don’t know how quickly Hezonja is going to develop, but he is already fun to watch.

T RexCeltics have FIVE rookies playing better than Russell.
Rozier, Hunter, Mickey, Marcus Thornton, Jonathan Holmes all showing clear-cut NBA goods.

kazamParticipantScotty Hopson has been solid for the D-League select squad. As for his prospects for an NBA deal I think he needs to prove that he can be a knockdown shooter and committed defender. No NBA squad is going to be letting him ISO and take deep 2’s.
Voneleh looks like he has put on some serious size. He’s been rebounding and scoring really well in the Vegas SL.
A guy I like is Greg Whittington from Miami. He has had some up and down games (today’s being not so great) but the kid can play a little bit.
Jarrid Famous for Washington has been a terror on the glass. He plays so hard and he’s a decent athlete. I could see him getting a shot in the NBA somewhere.

WotanParticipantTowns looked fantastic tonight, as did Vonleh (still only 19 years old).

Captain LParticipantExam only played in one game because he sprained his ankle, but he looked good by scoring 20 pts and helped Jazz fans breath easier looking forward to next season. He and Hood looked good, Hood also was dealing with an injury ( shoulder) but showed the play he displayed the last month or so of the season wasn’t a fluke. Turner looked great, Mudiay , Johnson , impressed, others had their moments where they showed flashes of why they were drafted in the lottery, ( Porzingis,Winslow , Okafor, Towns, WCS, ) all have looked good at times.

TrillaParticipantNoah Vonleh has looked really good in my opinion. Fluid jumper, looks really comfortable, showed off a couple of Euro steps. Put on a lot of size, ready to show his potential in the league.
Kyle Anderson has put up some pretty good numbers for the Spurs. I still dont know what position he guards defensively in the league, but his offensive game looks better.

Meditated StatesParticipantI agree it may not mean much but I think in limited minutes Marcus Thorton has looked better than Russell. It will help Russell to have Kobe out there with Clarkson penetrating, he should get more open looks.

gabriel_akvaParticipantJust saw Raptors against Bulls now.
McBuckets showing that hw deserves a spot on the Chicago’s rotation with 28/8 tonight.
As a brazilian, liked Nogueira’s game with 11 points and 16 boards, with great feel for the game.
Caboclo was good in the first half, but didn’t find his game in the second, finishing with 15 points.
Norman Powell was good again putting up 15 points too…
Sorry for my english by the way!
