    9 pts, 13 reb, 2 ast, 1 stl and 1 blk for Leonard. Much more active, but the best stat of all was 1 pf. He found a way to be aggressive without committing stupid fouls.

    He's still very raw, but with his size athleticism and skill set, he has a huge upside. The real key will be getting him to bring energy and effort every night over an 82 game schedule. He needs to realize that even when he's not scoring he has the ability to impact the game with his rebounding and shot blocking. Plus, if you hustle and bust your ass, you'll pick up a few easy baskets here and there, and if your teammates see you working hard, hustling down the court and fighting for position, they will reward you by get you the ball. Bring the effort consistently and the rest will take care of itself.

    Dwight Jaynes ‏@dwightjaynes

    Lillard has to be the front-runner for MVP of this league. Putting him in Qyntel Woods territory.

    Exactly, Nik'... and I think he'll look even better when he has more legit scoring-threats and/or better athletes around him (like LA, Batum, Matthews, Hickson, etc.).

    Nolan Smith went 20/5/5 and was ACC Player of the Year and will be Lillard's back-up this season.

    You know, there's being snarky and smart (see Nik & MM) and there's being a crotchety old fool. Guess which category Jaynes falls into.

    1 year

    We're not winning a championship this year anyway. In 1 year, the big boys will look like summer league.

    Wasn't Qyntel MVP after his second or third NBA season, though?

    Nice try, Dwight... you fat prick... but that summer league, in case you're keeping track at home (obviously not), was called "The Rocky Mountain Revue."

    Try again, fat boy!

    Well here's a newsflash. Summer League is better competition than almost any college game outside of the elite 8 in the NCAA tournament -- lots of drafted players and the rest rounded out with fully mature men, not 18 year old kids.

    I wonder if Blaze01 will ever post again

    There's being wrong about a guy

    Then there's bashing the guy for months and calling people stupid for liking Lillard and being 100% wrong

    I'm not sure, you'd have to ask Qyntel. I'm sure he has his MVP certificate folded in his wallet for ID.

    Yeah, the Vegas Summer League didn't really become legitimate until 2004.

    Qyntel was never summer league MVP. It's a common misconception. He made the 2003 Rocky Mountain Revue All-Revue Team, but Lonny Baxter won the MVP.

    Which I guess is just another way of saying, "It's summer league, don't get too excited".

    2008 = Bayless

    That said, a lot of people thought Westbrook was the best player there
