Carney, Smith, and Williams all had good performances. Hopefully Jones is alright.
Good news, Shavlik Randolph led all scorers with 25 points and Rodney getting some nice points with 17. Also one of the positive is The 76ers defense held the Sonics to just 44 points (15-42, .357 FG%) in the final three quarters.
Nice to see Steven Smith and Rodney Carney do well those are two guys I am really rooting for. On the other hand, you know its summer league when Randolph goes for 25. We have a lot of promising young players to build around in the future, and some solid young guys that will be solid role players for us for a while. Anyone know if these games are being televised or shown through a web cast? BTW: Welcome to the site [R.M]SLOW-JAM.
Everyone who slept on Steven Smith will be kicking themselves for not drafting him IMO. He is coming to his local team and now he has something to prove for going undrafted. I see him making a big contribution to the team in the future
Randolph attempted 23 free throws.. 25 and 13. Good game for him. Carney also had a nice game. Sene with 5 blocks.
