Yep and he's also the best competitor out there. He wants to win every possession and he's always celebrating when his teammates do something.

In the first two games, I saw him run over to help teammates off the ground multiple times. That was so great to see in a summer league game with all new teammates.
 
Not too much action for our guys in the Nets/Pacers first half

Tyrese 7 minutes and made the most of it with 8 points. Newton only 5 minutes but 3 assists, putting his PG skills on display (could have had more but this game is rough)

Jarace Walker playing like a beast. Furphy from Kansas is....not
 
Anyone watching the pacers game? Why is Newton the only player with single digit minutes? Thought they were pretty liberal throwing around minutes in these games but seems like he's somehow already being passed over

Yeah kind of disappointing as this game is ugly to watch. Just seems like they do have too many people at his position and he isn't getting the chance to prove himself. Not much plays being done. Feels like playground game. At least Martin has 10 pts.

Yeah the starting backcourt for the Pacers is barf. Combined 4 assists, 12 TOs, 4-18 (0-7 from three) shooting.

Hoping I'm not jumping the gun after 1 game but he might have got drafted to a bad situation as far as actually making a team. Pacers just gave Quenton Jackson a 2 way deal in March and he's built the same and playing the lead/combo guard role in this game and getting all the minutes.
 
If my math is correct, Cam is 9/17 from three and 8/14 from two.

Newton made some solid passes in limited minutes but I do wonder if the Pacers are giving Q. Jackson a bit of a test here. If so, Jackson is failing mightily.

so Enrique Freeman got a 2 way from the Pacers and was selected one spot behind Tristen and Tristen is coming off the bench in this SL opener, he's up against it for a spot

I don't believe Freeman has been offered a contract yet.

Broadcast must have had it wrong then because they said it over the air during the first half
 
Saw this on iPacers blog where the author graded everyone's performance. He gave Jackson the only F.

Tristen Newton – INC

With how things simply weren’t going Jackson’s way tonight, I don’t know why a guard like Newton didn’t see more time than just 7 minutes. He had 4 assists, nearly leading the team, in his short stints including the lob to Furphy. He had one offensive rebound on a nice play that he converted into another one of his assists as well. I hope we get to see him more in the rest of these games.

Sanogo belongs. Great game today. Perfect situation for him with the Bulls as they are clearly going full rebuild mode. He can get starter minutes!
 
Sanogo and Andre just wrapped up. Bulls won by 7

Sanogo had a great game - 17 points, 12 rebounds, 3 steals, 6-10 shooting (5-6 FT)
Andre had a very Andre game - 6 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, monster dunk, 3-8 shooting (0-5 from three). Had a disappointing turnover with around 15 seconds left where he just threw the inbound pass to Chicago

Bucks rookie AJ Johnson was 5-15, and Bulls rookie Buzelis was 4-14. Rough start for both
James Akinjo is apparently on the Bucks roster lol. Didn't get any minutes though

Summer league is just horrible. Donovan sets up a nice pick n roll, guard dribbles it into oblivion instead of throwing the lob
 
Castle looking really good so far. He’s definitely capable of full time PG

Clingan missed an early three and missed a layup but had a great block. Guards had some chances to get him the ball on rolls but haven’t found him
