    It’s Summer League, which is not a big man’s league by any means, but I’m not impressed by Swanigan.

    There were some old comparisons of Jake Layman to Chandler Parsons. They’re reasonable comps (unfortunately, that’s the current Parsons, not the Parsons of a few years ago).

    Zach Collins is already a fantastic defensive player. Once the offense kicks in, he is going to be trouble

    I think Collins has DPOY potential. His offensive game just needs work.

    Simons has a ton of raw potential.

    Wade reminds me of Greg Anthony a bit. I like that.

    Biggie just doesn't look like an NBA player. I haven't seen anything to change my mind.

    Layman is a guy that should be dominating. It's his third summer league. He's going against fringe NBA talent. He should be showing that he's a tier above these guys. Crabbe was significantly better by his third summer league.

    This camera angle is almost unwatchable. If it weren't the blazers I'd turn it off.

    Collins has about 6 blocks in the last 5 minutes. I wonder how many the official score keeper has missed.

    Vonleh struggled in the NBA, and he dominated in the summer league. Biggie was supposed to be a similar offensive player, I thought. Just not seeing it. He's too slow and not athletic enough.

    He has a nose for the ball. I think he finds the open man pretty well, too. But he just seems too slow on both sides of the ball.

    I'm not forgiving any of his play, but he is 20 years old.

    Seriously. Somehow they only gave him 3 yesterday. He had that in the first quarter.

    I love that our two 19-year old rookies already play with more aggressiveness and more confidence than 26-year old Allen Crabbe.

    I think it would be fine if he could consistently hit the three. Sam Perkins wasn't quick by any means.
