    If any of the players we saw tonight are playing meaningful minutes whatsoever next season we are lottery bound again.

    I mean, she is the head coach of Notre Dame women's basketball. So there is a reason to pay attention to her. Ivey was the highest pick in the game. So yeah, they decided before the game that they would push that narrative and Ivey played well so it worked out for them.

    Bright spot of the night. Chauncey's defensive teachings. This team , with hardly a decent shooter outside Walker, made the game close with some smothering defense. VERY NICE!

    and if it is? Did you honestly expect him to even get on the court in the next few seasons?

    Don’t care if it’s pre-season, I hate losing. Big man who can shoot and hot, the coach sits him down

    Keon Johnson made me eat crow tonight. Looks like a playa. Had some nice pressure on Ivey, and was a good finisher.

    Agree, WTF. He had the purist shot, even under pressure, and you sit him the last minute. Helloooooooo.

    Quick thoughts with crazy-little data:
    • Watford looks like a guy who thinks of himself as the #17 player from the 2019 high school class (Stewart was #2, incidentally) but plays like a player who wasn't drafted (3-10 FGs, 4 turnovers, 7 personal fouls).
    • KJohnson looked good but didn't seem to do anything especially well. He had trouble finishing and had five turnovers.
    • Not that it really matters, but BWilliams should be better than he was tonight and was, along with Watford, the main reason we lost.
    • Greg Brown still could become something. He has tools and an energy level that some day might add up to a role in a rotation.
    • Walker looked good. I wonder if he'll get more than 15 minutes next game.
    • Sharpe being hurt sucks. I hope it's not serious. (How's THAT for two obvious statements? :) )
    • Detroit was playing a lot more of its actual team tonight. If Cunningham and Bey had played, it would have been a remarkable number of their rotation guys.
    • Duren sure looked good and springy.
    • Ivey looked ... fine. He didn't look that good shooting the ball and he didn't look especially explosive, but it's so hard to tell in summer league. I disliked how they showed his mom so much... it was like watching an Olympics broadcast that's more focused on a story than on the game.

    Thoughts on the game:
    Doris Burke doesn't know the rules
    Summer league officiating is the dumbest thing I've ever seen
    No wait, the dumbest thing I've ever seen is interviewing moms during the game
    Walker, Keon and Watford looked good
    I'm a masochist for watching

    The rookie had a goal tend and two really bad passes early...didn't shoot well....he looked like a "rookie" ...he's just a kid but he is going to have a learning curve, that's apparent.

    I was more entertained by this game, than i've been with any other sporting event of late. Sorry don't dig hockey, soccer, or corn holedog.
