    Every year rookies, young players, and guys who are trying to make a roster go hard in summer league. Who do you see breaking out? My picks are Anthony Bennett, CJ McCollum, Jabari, oladipo, exum, and Aaron Gordon.

     I agree with all of those especially Bennett, and Mccollum. I also think Warren and Mcdermott will tear it up. Obviously the top rookies will do well too.

    I will also be watching for Alex Len, Lucas Noguiera, Giannis Antetekoumpo, Kelly Olynyk, Moe Harkless, Pierre Jackson, Kent Caldwell-Pope, Rudy Gobert, Ben Mclemore, Nerlens Noel just to name a few. Not sure if guys like Terrence Ross, Jeremy Lamb or PJ3 will be there.

    I love summer league. I think it is a great showcase of talent to fill in the gap before the season starts.

      I’m interested in seeing how Mclemore-Stauskas plays out. Who gets more play and in what situations or position… Could be interesting going into this next season to see who they want more.

     Jabari will take a ton of shots and score a ton of points.  I’m interested in seeing if he’ll put forth any effort on the defensive end.

     Bruno is a given. Im absolutely pumped to see him play. Just the fact that there will be a player on my teams roster I have never seen play other then 2 youtube videos is a great feeling. For instance Ive already seen Deandre Daniels play 15 or so times in full games. Ive read about him, critiqued his game, and Im used to him at this point. I know what to expect from him. The unkown is very exciting in Bruno.

    I think they will try to mold him into more of a Shawn Marion type player. Casey likens him to Rashard Lewis, he models his game after KD. Seems like he needs to develop perimeter skills. Reminds me of Derrick Williams in that sense. I really dont know. Although from what Ive read and content Ive watched they want him to be a 3-4 but right now he is a 4 with shooting touch and dribbling upside.

    I’m curious to see what kind of shape Shabazz Muhammad will be in for summer league. He didn’t get any publicity last season due to lack of playing time, but when he actually got in the game (Re: the phoenix game) he played well. Plus, it looks like he could stand to trim down a little bit. Hopefully he’s been in the gym every day working on his jumper since the season ended. I’ll definitely be checking in on him, Gorgui, and the rooks as well.

    would play together a lot in SL one would imagine. While competing for minutes at the same time.

    I’m curious to see (just to name a few):

    Raul Neto: (if he decides to play SL instead of with his national team)

    Lucas Nogueira

    Janis Timma

    Bogdan Bogdanovic

    Antetokounmpo Brothers

    James Ennis: supposedly Miami will bring him over and if LeBron leaves he could see a huge uptick in playing time

     McCollum is a good guess.  I doubt Oladipo plays in the summer league.  If he does I’d be very surprised.  Even if he plays and plays well, it’s not like he’d be breaking out.  He was 2nd in ROY voting last year.

     

    My guy to break out is Cleanthony Early.  I also think he’ll turn some heads during the regular season.  Could be the steal of the draft at 34

    SG – Dante Exum

    SF – Jabari Parker

    PF –  Anthony Bennett 

    C – Nerlens Noel

     Anthony Bennett – Has to show a sign of life after his historically bad rookie year, he has been getting in better shape and will finally have a chance to show the strides hes already made in this offseason. 

    Ben Mclemore- I expect him to be more assertive now that the Kings just drafted another sg one year after taking him in the lottery.

    Anthony Bennett, Otto Porter, Cody Zeller, Nerlens Noel, Alex Len. James Ennis played in Puerto Rico and he looked awesome.

     For the life of me, I hope PJ3 has a chip on his shoulder heading into camp. He doesn’t need to go away from his finesse style of play but become more physical. He’s too damn big to not bang.

     Exum is going to rip some heads off with his speed on his way to the hoop and it’s gonna be fun. 

    I hope McCollum has a good summer league. He’s a really great kid.
