    Meyers should really be playing in SL after the season he had last year. Just prove you belong in the NBA by dominating SL

    Another thing I see Collins do he didn't try to avoid contact. But the thing we didn't have the best guard play either for our bigs it got better in the 2nd but the 1st half it was really bad.

    Fun venue. Good access to players.

    I've been to summer league about 5 times in the past, but I've never seen it this packed. Massive amounts of people here this year.

    I've got tix for tomorrow too. Looking forward to the next game!

    Impressions:

    Zach Collins going to be good player. Needs strength in upper body. Will need a bit of time but will get it.
    Caleb Swanigan will earn some PT this year. He's NBA body ready and knows what to do to get to the FT line. Nice soft shot too. Big rebounder.
    Layman still athletic but can't seem to slow himself enough to make buckets.
    Connaughton is a bit slow. When he's open he makes shots, but too many time is rushing things.

    Pat made some nice passes. He's basically Lonzo Ball at this point

    I don't know if playing heavy minutes is an issue with Zach, because he started off good then didn't do much after that.

    Dozed off at half time but like what I saw from Collins and Biggie. Layman also made some shots early so will continue to see how he does threat couple of games. Pat really looked frustrated by the speed of the game.

    "I just want to win summer league, it's not about personal goals."

    Well he got us off to a great start. Tough opening schedule vs 3 teams who played in Utah. If we can go 3-0 I like our chances of being champs!

    I rarely take much from summer league and even less from the first game. I expect Collins will play better tomorrow I like his competitive fire and the fact he's hard on himself.

    Collins is definitely got NBA ability and should be very good in couple of years. Love the blocks and his BB IQ, good looking shot and doesn't take long to get it off. He needed to just use his first move in the post he kept trying two or three moves. Comes from trying to do to much in his first game it will slow down for him. Stick to baby hook and then add to it once players get use to seeing it.

    Swanigan looked good reminds me of Millsap. High energy guy that only knows one way to play and that's 110%. I can definitely see him getting time next year. I still think Vonleh will edge him out but expect Swanigan to steal some minutes as season goes on just from his hustle.
