NBA Summer League | Mavs end off 4-1

[Chicagojk]

I try not to make any judgements in summer league. Most guys aren’t going to be asked to be their lead guys in the real nba. I think Shaeden Sharpe is going to be a stud, but he really struggled last night. Ivey and Duren will also be really good in time, but they have been solid but not amazing.

I am a big proponent of guys who played real NBA minutes last year, to try to get them out of their comfort zone in summer league. Give them the freedom to try new things and try to grow their games. For the rookies, it is an opportunity to throw a lot of things at them and see how they adjust on the fly when asked to do these things.

Wemby bounced back. Made the right adjustments. Reduced the 3-point volume. Went to his go-to spots in the 15ft range and showed his midrange mastery. Did not settle for jumpshots and attacked the rim.
Miller had another nightmarish shooting performance. Rough stretch for him.

I typically do not take any of the rebuilding teams seriously until i think they have a lead guy on a good team.   San Antonio has one.  It is why I rate them much higher than a team like Houston.   Finding that star is the hardest thing in roster building.  I expect several ups and downs and he will need to stay healthy.   But he is a franchise altering talent.
