    Simmons was the obvious, runaway #1. Really not sure where the hate for him came from.

    Did anybody point out to him that you can't curse on national television? Or are they too busy kissing up to him to give him some adult advice?

    TJ McConnell, Matthew Dellavedova, and Aaron Craft should just always hang out together.

    It looks like JA had some words to say about it.

    I thought he was going to be a star watching him at Providence. He just has that smoothness about him that stars have.

    I thought he was going to be a star when I was watching him in middle school.

    It blows my mind how far summer league has come. I remember when it was a big deal because wheels was going to call the games on blazers radio. Now it has huge sponsors and the games are all on ESPN and NBA tv.

    Trying to figure out which of today's SL games I should watch on replay. No K Dunn for Minny tonight, so I don't really care to watch them. Ingram looks like he played like shit for the Lakers tonight so that one is out as well. No GP2 for the Rockets...

    Think I'm going to watch the Kings-Pelicans game. Labissiere looks like he had a nice one tonight 16 points on 6-14 with 6 boards. Buddy Hield dropped 23.

    I'd probably draft Hield over Simmons in fantasy league. Dude can score, and will probably get a few assists each game as well. I can see Hield having a solid season playing alongside Davis.

    Dunn is probably the best out of the 3, but I wonder how big a part of the offense he will be with KAT and Wiggins. Wiggins had a moderate-average fantasy season last year, will fall off a bit if Dunn is a big part of the offense, at which point Dunn could potentially be the more valuable player considering Wiggins' weak contributions outside of scoring.

    Haven't seen a lot of Labissiere but did that guy shoot some guy's dog or something? He was like the number one recruit going into college and then every sports columnist started taking a part his game. Even Barkley took time out to criticize him. Does he really translate THAT badly from college to the pros?

    Looks like he has a nice touch in the paint. Needs to put on some muscle and work on setting hard screens.

    Zubac is going to be a player. Very agile for his Gasol-like size.

    Dunn, Wiggins and Towns will be some core. That's the advantage of drafting players as opposed to signing or trading for them: you get to keep them for almost a decade if you want to, half of which will be for low money.
