Dumont, Lively, Marshall and Hardy sitting together court side.
No Cuban, so that's positive.

Put the Gortman back in. I already lost interest in the rest.
Also funny to have Nico sit there and when talk comes to Lively, you realize he´s a 2nd year player now, but nobody thinks he should be in SL. That is the biggest compliment.

O-Max finally forcing the issue at the rim a little better. He can sure get into the paint quickly off the dribble for a guy his size, but he's got a way to go in terms of having a plan when he gets there.

NICE closeout attack by Ajinca! Don't think the defenders realize he's left handed.
RE: SL Game 1: UTA vs. DAL| NBA TV @ 9:30pm CST - Mavs2021 - 07-13-2024
Ajinca clearly has good court awareness and decision-making. Making good use of it in the 2nd half. Miller and Gortman at least look interesting.

O-Max is so disruptive on defense. He needs to figure out how to make himself playable on offense really quickly.
RE: SL Game 1: UTA vs. DAL| NBA TV @ 9:30pm CST - KillerLeft - 07-13-2024
Sharpe's instincts have looked non-existent at times, and he's not as explosive as I'd hoped, but he HAS affected quite a few shots in this game. Not a complete lost cause, I don't think.

Sharp sets worse screens than KP

Omax's freethrows have looked super smooth.
hopefully a good sign for corner 3's

That's true. I can't even tell which slips/ghosts are intentional and which are just because they're super easy to avoid.
RE: SL Game 1: UTA vs. DAL| NBA TV @ 9:30pm CST - KillerLeft - 07-13-2024
Sharpe with PERFECT verticality there on defense.

What I like about Jamarion Sharp is that he's 7'5".

I like that he's the GOOD kind of 7'5", where he can MOVE. Though he's not as explosive athletically as he needs to be, probably.

Moses Brown 2.0. And I was somewhat of a believer but at some point the lack of basic basketball skills and awareness just limits the ceiling.

I'm with you. I might disagree about what his ceiling is, but I seriously doubt he's going to get enough of a chance in the NBA to ever reach it, so it's kind of pointless.
RE: SL Game 1: UTA vs. DAL| NBA TV @ 9:30pm CST - dirkfansince1998 - 07-13-2024
For me Miller is the standout player. Plays like a vet. Best decision maker. Best positional defense on the roster. Had one bad moment when he fouled Hendricks on a corner three. Otherwise a flawless game from him.

Chris Dudley is doing a great job with this limited roster. They're really playing well on defense. They look remarkably organized for a summer league team.

Did they already give Brandon Williams a two-way? Not sure I see much in him.

I think this is his ceiling. Summer league/g-league/China.

I hate undersized scoring guards. Miles Jr, "Jelly" Walker...more of the same.
