    PapaG has no sense of where his limbs are. Every time he's defended a shot in the paint he's leaning way over the offensive player fouling the shit out of them.

    Looked like the ref just wanted to put air in his whistle...

    Not sure about that PapaG foul.

    I thought he owned his spot and the player jumped back into him. Probably a good no call.

    His ball handling is the part of his game that has impressed me the most. He could already be better than Pat if he can hit the 3 consistently... ish.

    I like how quickly our guys get a shot off....and Simons can shoot over bigs like Iverson used to...his offense reminds me of young Iverson

    The 5 scrubs look like a summer league team. The starters and Simons and Trent look like a team.

    Simons can shoot and score but I’m impressed by his defense. He’s got really good feet. He’s going to be overmatched physically but once his body catches up he could be a two way player.

    We are so good in summer league. This must be what it feels like to be a Golden State fan in regular season.

    We'll sign a couple two way contracts...not sure who..Caleb will probably spend most of the season in the G league unless they bring in a big man coach to work with his post game

    The first 7 is loaded from a SL standpoint. Collins anchors the defense, Biggie gets rebounds, Layman and Trent spread the floor, Jenkins doesn't make mistakes, Simons figures out ways to score and Baldwin orchestrates like a master conductor.

    Layman another solid game. Zach totally dominate the inside on defense still struggling with mask on offensive. Baldwin another good game on both ends. Simons best overall game on both ends he got 20 tonight. Gary struggle a little bit on his shot but did another solid job on defense. Swanigan got 10 boards but the rest of his is really suffering.

    Good game. This is probably the least sloppy basketball I have ever seen in Summer League. Olshey has his misses, just like every other GM, but he picks some really good ones as well. Trent and Simon's look great. Even LayLay is starting to look good. Collins is a defensive beast. And Baldwin looks fantastic.

    Swanigan looks like a mistake. But, you can't win them all.

    Wow. Our summer league team is great. I really hope we play the Lakers in the final.

    He's not going to make the leap sophomore season...they'll give him until next year to crack the rotation if he ups his game...Olshey already said Caleb has to improve on offense and with post moves...he's a rebounder though...give him that
