    Haven't heard much talk about it on here. You guys pumped? What are expectations of our guys..... Montero, Pat and Vonleh. I see that they added Shabazz as well. First game is tomorrow at 1 on NBATV. Guys just took off a few minutes ago. You guys know me, I'm excited to watch hoops regardless.....Just got done watching the Orlando Magic (BLUE) team play the Pacers in the 7th place game.....About to watch 10th place game Clippers vs Knicks..... If you know who won, don't ruin it for me. #HoopsOverEverythingFAMS

    And that is why so many here claim to know your wife.

    I am quite interested to see how guys do. Who seems to have in improved, takes leadership role, etc.

    I won't have a chance to watch so look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts and observations.

    Gramps...

    I had the chance to go but didn't think it'd be worth it, personally. That's how excited I am.

    I like summer league. I'm excited that we have some players playing this year that may see time in the regular season in Vonleh, Pat, and Napier. Or we'll see that they're still a long way off and know why they never see the light of day during real games. Hell, I'm excited to see more of Montero to see if he's developed at all.

    I am excited to see our young's in action...it will be interesting to see how guys who haven't played much are looking...Connaughton and Vonleh are said yo have gotten a lot better. Anyone hear anything about Monteros game, he seems to be the biggest mystery. Also hyped to see the new guy Layman.

    Vonleh - is he going to show some aggressiveness to flat-out dominate players smaller than him down low? Can he hit his outside shot?
    Connaughton - can he make shots?
    Montero - Has he learned to make better decisions?

    Napier, Connaughton, Layman and Vonleh should be starters I think

    Any chance Paddy Pat is a great 3 point shooter and he hasn't showed that part of his game yet? I mean if that happens thst would be REALLY convient.

    Sucks that we can't play more SL games before we have to match.

    2 games total? Maybe Neil is waiting to see how Patty does.

    He's quite good in practice....Montero has more effortless range.

    Listening to Steve Smith confirms I hope to hell he doesn't replace Mike Rice.
