Game Thread 2022 SUMMER LEAGUE - GAME 2 - BLAZERS VS PELICANS - SATURDAY - JULY 9, 2022 - 7PM (PDT) ESPN2

What really bother when you got guy dribbles the shit out the ball and turnover.

 

Walker is a lot more than just a three and D forward.

 

man i feel sooooo bad for shaedon. kid looks so miserable clapping his right hand on his leg whenever anyone scores as his left is in a sling

 

that's what I was referencing....adding the other guys ...I can see why Joe signed Payton

 

Swiss Army knife!

 

Minor injuries are always a little more dramatic when you’re a European player

 

4th qtr using the clock can preserve the lead..now is time to use all the clock you can

 

Greg brown does nothing for me

 

Brandon Williams aka the professor

 

He's money at the free throw line...I'll give him that much and he gets to the line

 

Don't need all that dribbling and what it does it kill the team flow on the offense.

 

I miss having a Vydas on our team. We need a Vydas of some sort

 

Haha Brandon Williams is garbage. Can’t believe he played a role for us last year

 

why does the announcer keep calling their team, "Portland?"

 

he's 5 for 8?

 

I did not realize how long Kyle Alexander is. I wonder if he could make the team. He moves very well.

“We like him [Alexander],” Riley told the Sun Sentinel. “We’ve really liked him, and he has developed. And before he got hurt, we had Chris [Silva] down here and Kyle was doing very well. We feel he has the potential to be a prototype of today’s NBA big man. You don’t have to be 7-1 or 7-2. If you have one of those guys, then fine. But he’s long, he’s rangy, he’s really developed an upper body.”

Alexander’s former head coach at Orangeville Prep in Mono, Ontario, who also mentored Jamal Murray and Thon Maker, said his potential is scary.

“He’s 6-10 with a 7-4 wingspan,” Blunt told SNY.tv. “He runs faster than our guards and has a knack for blocking shots. His dad was a Division 1 1,000-point scorer and his sister was an All-American at Syracuse and a first-round draft pick in the WNBA. The kid has been playing basketball for three years and his potential is scary.”

Jonathan Givony ranked Alexander as a first-round pick in the 2019 NBA draft with the Houston Rockets selecting him 29th.

“Alexander’s body has taken a while to fill out, and at 222 pounds he is still a ways away,” Givoy writes, “but the fact that he stands 6-11½, with a 7-5½ wingspan and a massive 9-2 standing reach obviously helps.”

“For now, Alexander is an elite screen-setter, diver, offensive rebounder and finisher — all coveted traits in the NBA,” Givony says. “His defense is what will get him on the map, though. He shows terrific timing as a shot-blocker and gets out to hedge or switch screens on the perimeter.”

Alexander’s defense takes center stage, but his soft touch and smooth shooting stroke hasn’t been fully taken advantage of yet. Note how easily he’s able to cleanly shot over his defender around the paint and from mid-range.

 

I haven't been watching but Daniels' stats look fucking awful.

 

didn't see the stat but seemed he was draining them all night...

 

Watford show tonight that he has great chance to be in rotation a lot better showing with double double. Walker again impressed me with his play tonight shows a high IQ of the game.
