UConn in the Summer League

[UofCT]

I saw just a few minutes of that game. He was in when I turned it on. Picked up a foul. Deflected a rebound, then dove on the floor to get the loose ball (although I would have called it out of bounds, the ref right next to him didn't). Scored on an alley oop, screened on a successful 3, and deflected a shot and the nets got possession. Then he was taken out with like 6 minutes to go in the game, and I switched to netflix.

Stranger Things?

Jalen ready to "shake up" the NBA...

 

[joober jones]

I hope he gets some Huncho minutes tonight.

Gonna flip between this summer league game and the Sox. Hopefully JA gets burn tonight

Jalen turns it over almost immediately

Happy I got to see Jalen’s first pro bucket. He is getting some decent PT on ESPN right now.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Old friends Armoni Brooks, Aubrey Dawkins and Troy Caupain also playing tonight

Really nice would be assists from Jalen.

If only his teammates weren't complete boneheads. Tries for tomahawk jam when he could have laid it in, and of course the ball hits the rim and goes flying.

Old friends Armoni Brooks, Aubrey Dawkins and Troy Caupain always playing tonight

I saw Aubrey live in game against Tulane and the kid looked like an exceptional athlete and made some nice drives/shots. Of course was against Tulane. Really thought he was an NBA quality player, better than Jalen; guess we will see.

Jalen finishes with 12 p 2 r 4 a in 23 minutes. 4/8 FG 1/3 3P
Not too bad Jalen!

Not too bad Jalen!

Those shooting numbers include a pointless halfcourt heave at the end of the game too. Gotta hold onto that one for the shooting percentages, Jalen! That’s the NBA way!

Awesome outing for Jalen last night. He looked comfortable out there after that early turnover.

Today's (7/7) games:

Larrier (SAS) 3:30
Brimah (BKN) 4:00
Purvis (CHI) 7:30

Not too bad Jalen!

He was a total negative on the first three possessions -- turnover, beat on a box out, beat on defense. I was this close to switching over to Star Trek DS 9 (Ezri just joined the crew and Worf is moody). After those first 3 possessions, he settled down and played a really solid game. Nice to see NO play him both at the 1 and the 2, and nice to see Jalen not forcing anything.

Kid's gonna be alright.

Larrier played 3 minutes for the Spurs. 1 turnover, no other stats. Looked very lost

 

[joober jones]

Is it just me or has the shooting in this summer league been pretty much the worst in the past decade or so?

Hey!

Nothing has changed since VCU

Nothing has changed since VCU

Yeah, not his fault though. If you have no feel for the game, you have no feel for the game. Even crazy hard work doesn’t help that.

Purvis on ESPN with the Bulls right now. Just scored 7 quick points.

 

[Purple Stein]

7/7 Results:
Larrier 3 minutes, no points, no rebounds, no assists

Purvis, 10 minutes, 7 points, 2 boards, 3-5 shooting

Brimah, 13 minutes, 3 points, 1 board, 2 blocks, no pf

Larrier is clearly a practice body -- he got his 3 minutes and I don't think he'll get more. I hope Purvis gets more run -- he can fit on an NBA bench if he can get another chance.

7/8 Schedule:
Wizards vs Nets (Brimah), 5:30, ESPN 3
Raptors vs Spurs (Larriier), 7:00, ESPNU
Pelicans (Jalen) vs Bulls (Purvis), 9:30, ESPN 3

Jalen really forced things tonight when he had the ball in his hands, didn't do much when he didn't have the ball. Missed opportunity after getting the start.
