    I watched the game again and I saw improvement from the Big 3 (Pecherov, Young, Mcguire).

    Nick Young played a lot better from the game before where he was easily frustrated mssing his long ranged shots. Now a day later, he's a lot more conservative driving to the basket a lot more and it shows his athletic ability making 3 ferocious dunks. He took his shots as the game went on and they were going on a lot more than the first game. You wouldn't believe how hyped up he gets after a string of good plays, but he needs to work on keeping his composure when his jumper isn't going in. His defense is still subpar giving his man way too much lane to work with, but other than that, his game is fine. Gilbert's going to like having him come off the bench and being that agressive scorer he wanted.

    Besides Pecherov's jumper, I don't see any other aspects of the game he's good at right now. He gets out manned and out strengthened a lot when it comes to fighting for the rebound and if he can't do it in Summer League, I don't see how he's going to fit in the regular season. He still hasn't established a low post game with his back to basket and most of his points of the Summer League have came off jumpers. His defense isn't all that impressive with his stength, but being a gym rat, I hope he can improve all of it before training camp comes around.

    Dominic McGuire is a stud. It's amazing to see how athletic and versatile he is doing almost anything you can ask for. He's improved his jumper since the draft workouts and it's been showing, he's been blocking a few shots that's shown out and just making himself a presence inside being another guy who can rebound. I still don't see how he fell down to 47.
