    Really? I could have sworn he won it at least one of the years he went. Are you sure?

    Like most urban myths, it's not actually true that Qyntel Woods was MVP of ANY Summer League. He had about one high scoring game, is all. [Edit: I see BNM beat me to it.]

    I'm surprised nobody's rolled out the old "Bo Outlaw scored 50" line. Because that was back in Los Angeles, when the NBA Summer League ran alongside a pro-am league, where once in a while an NBA player would play on some team against a team called something like KLSX Ballers comprised of people off the street and of course get 20 rebounds and 50 points. But the legend persists.

    I watched those leagues. In fact, I went to a freakin sports bar to watch those leagues. It was not "one high scoring game". Qyntel definitely dominated. I would love to see some facts or links to back up your statements.

    He's doing fine, but hard work is not enough to get it done. Smarts aren't enough to get it done for him either. I said it before, I'll repeat myself: when he has the ball under the rim, he plays like he's 1'7" instead of 7'1". He need to change his mentality, power the ball up. He's playing scared in those situations and Caleb or some assistant coach is going to have to work long hours with him to change that mind set.

    On the defensive end, he'll be good - he just needs to keep doing what he's doing and he'll learn what he needs to.

    That all being said, I am excited about the guy, and your points are some of the reasons.

    You guys realize that Dwight is trolling you all on twitter right? Besides wasn't there like a national "unfollow Jaynes on Twitter" day a couple of weeks ago. Save yourself the anguish and unplug him from your timeline ... if anything it will be easier to keep track of other actually funny and/or intelligent people without him bombing you with his asinine re-tweets of all the hate he's getting.

    Ummm, well, he actually has done that in the last 3 games (plus some actual NBA players) and makes them look like they're all playing in slow motion.

    Why did he have to go there? I think Dwight is one of Satan's minions. :devilwink:

    Actually it was more than one game because he led the Rocky Mountain Review in scoring one year.

    Marc J. Spears
    After leading the Rocky Mountain Revue in scoring, Qyntel Woods may be ready for a starring role.

    You're right: he had more than one high scoring game. Here are the stats. He had 37, 23, 27 and 23. But we only won one of those games. Then Ime Udoka had 27 for us in the next game, which kind of gives you some idea.

    I am excited, and I'll watch the entire game again ($4.99 bay-bay), but the Hawks really did have at least 6 baskets go in and out.

    You guys who like to bring up Qyntel Woods as a cautionary tale about the summer league, it wasn't that he didn't have the talent. The problem was his 10c head. He was an idiot. Extremely talented, but couldn't get out of his own way.

    Also, Maurice Cheeks tried to play him as a point guard..... so yeah.

    Qyntel's problem was never talent. It was the lack of talent between his ears. Listen to one Lillard interview, and it's a ridiculous comparison by Jaynes the Troll.

    Woods at PG? I remember that, but seriously, that's almost as stupid as trying to make Austin Rivers a PG.

    It's not necessarily what he's doing in the measly Summer League. Its how he's doing it. Playing around like it just another day. His pick & roll with Aldridge should be filthy. That's always something that you have to look at with Lillard, how much better he can be when he actually has real talent around him. Even this SL must be breathe of fresh air to have some competent higher level players around him.
