    Daniel Orton with the technical. Isn't that the dude that left Kentucky after one year of backing up Demarcus Cousins averaging like 3 points and 3 rebounds? What an idiot.

    Terrence Jones looks sulky and slouchy ALL the time.

    Montiejunas is better than I thought. But the mohawk is a mistake.

    How many of the Rockets Summer Leaguers will stay Rockets if Houston trades for Dwight Howard?

    With Marcus Morris, Royce White, and Terrence Jones, the Rockets have a lot of young 3/4 tweeners..

    Machado looks good: always keeps his head up. Looks to penetrate every time and kicks out.

    Edit: differing opinions on Twitter about Machado:

    Toronto keep force-feeding Ed Davis. He's doing okay, but he's not what he should be. Way too skinny.

    I heard what Webber reported hearing - all the scouts walk by and say "huh - I didn't think he'd play this hard..." Let's see if he can keep it up.

    Houston's team is STACKED.

    It's easy for a drive and kick guy to look good with the defense at summer league. He'll have to prove he can finish if that's going to keep working.

    ALVIN WILLIAMS SIGHTING!!

    I guess he's something-or-other for Toronto. He was great for us for half a season. Great second-round pick.

    If I may, Harrison Barnes is looking absolutely wonderful, which some of us said he would

    Its summer league and he is playing vs guys who have no chance in hell of defending him. Bayless looked like a future MVP in summer league too. Summer league is fun to watch but in most cases it means absolutely nothing.

    Barnes is looking like what people said: a very good jumpshooter who can also get leak out buckets, but who doesn't dribble or do much else.

    Golden State is another team that is stacked. Klay Thompson (their standout player), Charles Jenkins, Barnes, Ezeli, Draymond Green...

    GState vs. Houston should be a good one.

    Lakers, on the other hand, are crap.

    Jarrett Jack and David Lee watching the GState summer league team. That's cool. The Thunder have been doing that for a while.

    Jack and Barnes can compete for hugest forehead.
