UConn @ NBA Summer Leagues

[GoUconn7961]

I love watching our guys, but OMG summer league is so damn boring.

I believe DC is leading the SL in rebounds and blocks per game.

As a basketball player Cam is everything that Sarr is not. I understand he is also 4 years older but they are both Rookies in the league. Cam plays basketball in a way that is an art form. Perhaps an angry art form but an art form. Sarr is not playing basketball he is a super big guy who is very athletic. Maybe if he stays healthy and keeps his confidence he can contribute at some level in the future but unless something miraculous happens he is not seeing big minutes this year. In fact I think Sarr is a perfect candidate to spend a year or two developing his game because he just does not appear to understand much about the game at this point.

Not easy to forget - and not for reasons we would like.

Looked so tentative on that shot. Get those game reps and it’s gonna look as smooth as it does during warmups, swear on it.

I hope you’re right. He did throw an air ball during free throws late in game. He made the second.

Caught bits and pieces of the Whaley game. Didn't play a lot of minutes again so I'm assuming he's not going to get a two way contract with them. Got a few boards and missed a layup in transition

Cam at 7pm (if he's healthy), that's all we have for this evening

No Cam for the Grizzlies tonight

Definitely good to keep him out as long as he needs to 110% recover, but man it would be fun tomorrow to see Cam vs. Hawkins

I really wanted to watch these games to see how our guys are doing. However the actual basketball is so bad that the game is unrecognizable as BASKETBALL.

It’s really just aau hoops for pros.

Got to feel like it’s a good thing if the Grizzlies are taking precautions with him?

Shows he’s proven himself enough during SL. Which is impressive as a second rounder.

Tristen starting again, hopefully he has a breakthrough shooting/scoring wise but just missed a 3 on the first possession

 

[aceboon]

Tristen's confidence looks shot from a shooting/scoring perspective, just got by his man and had an easy banker off the glass if he wanted it but then tried to force a pass into a turnover. hard to watch and I can't imagine he's gonna get NBA looks if this keeps up

 

[djct1999]

I am concerned for Tristen. He has not played well.

 

[aceboon]

getting to the line like how he did here but his 3s aren't close and I would hope getting to the line would get him in a shooting rhythm

 

[aceboon]

finally made one

tristen needs to be in a structured offense making the reads. he's so not a summer league player.

 

[REB1094]

Tristen not shooting well but nobody is. He’s 3-13 but so are 2 other guys in their starting 5 lol. Still found his way to the line to get up to 15 points in a low scoring game

Still looks really passive and uncomfortable, unfortunately

these are shots he needs to make if you want to be a lead guard in the NBA. other than a couple of forced pull-ups these 3s and shots at the rim are within the flow of the offense and makeable. his inefficiency has been magnified 10x here.

 

[aceboon]

wide open catch and shoot 3 off the glass completely missing the rim, Tristen is cooked

yea but we are at the "need to spread propaganda to control the narrative" stage of it being pretty bad.

the problem is not just newton, hawkins struggling too.

 

[REB1094]

Hawkins struggling. Missed a transition layup and an open three, Pelicans comeback chances got obliterated and now the Grizzlies are up 15. 3-11 on the night

He’s been bad in the SL. I’m not sure I see him getting meaningful mins again.
