Summer League- Whose shown the most/least?

[QUOTE=chocolatethunder]Nope, he played one game and didn't even play that well but yeah, everyone here is sucking him off.[/QUOTE]

I'm not going to argue that he's shown the most of anyone at Summer League or even close to it, but playing well does not equate to impressing. What you do in Summer League is not measured statistically but in the WOW moments.

People can put up numbers in Summer League and stink it up in the NBA, and vice-versa. Lillard wasn't that great in Summer League and was ROY; however, MCW was great in Summer League and did turn out to be ROY. You can't take anything from what we're watching other than first impressions. Exum was breathtaking at times, forgettable at others. But just like how you draft based on what a kid can do and not what they can't do, you judge a Summer League player by what they showed off.

[QUOTE=Miles and Miles]He's been pretty good. Amazing how BAD the rest of the Kings have been. Half of their regular season roster is in there and they are still bad.[B] I can't even watch Ben M. completely unwatchable.[/B][/QUOTE]

Seriously, what is up with this guy? Only watched the game against the Hornets yesterday, but he didn't even look like he belonged on the floor... Of a summer league game... Where both teams played like garbage for most of the game.

He looks the part. Prototypical NBA size, his form, mechanics, and elevation on his jumper are all nice, he's supremely athletic, I think he can do stuff off the dribble a bit. And then you watch him play and think scrub.

That's my point. He's not good or bad, he played one meaningless game. Lots of players this year have played games and looked really great in them and it doesn't mean anything for them either. For him to have one game where he shoots 40,25,50 isn't impressive. That doesn't mean he's gonna suck but it doesn't mean he's gonna be good. I mean Jumaine Jones averaged like 24 pts and I think was MVP of summer league.

Yup :oldlol:

Tim Hardaway Jr
James Ennis

KCP - playing to earn that starting position.
A. Bennett - been playing really well. Would I agree with him being the #1 pick yet? No.
Elfrid Payton
Nick Johnson
That Denver Player (can't think of his name atm)
Tony Snell

People who I'd like to see more off/more consistent:

McBuckets (consistency)
Shabazz Muhammed (consistency)
Dante Exum (more of)
Jabari and Wiggins (consistency and more of)
Noel (more of)
Smart (consistency)
Randle (more of)

Disappointing so far:

Vonleh
Aaron Gordon - unavoidable he's the #4 pick...
