Ehhhhh…..he hasn’t really shown that the Pelicans should ever consider doing this in a real game lol. Just hoping that he hasn’t lost his confidence in his normal playstyle as a movement shooter

It’s probably on Hawkins to get good at it or the Pelicans can’t play him as much as they’d like to. He’s a much better player for them if he can learn to create on his own as well.

Summer league is usually a bunch of guys looking out for themselves but Sanogo was the first guy to run over to DJ Steward and jump on him after hitting the game winner

37 for Steward with 8 threes (!!!). Sanogo with a solid game as well, 17 points and 9 assists on 86% shooting

Gotta check for some highlights of that game.
Portland playing late on ESPN2.

Not trying to peddle copium (as Tristen shooting 3's at a 35%+ clip would definitely help his cause to stick with at least a 2-way contract), but fwiw there's a TON of horrific shooting going on in the summer league...even by guys that were known as very good 3pt shooters in college.

Perusing the box scores, most teams are shooting 25%ish, most players shooting a decent volume of shots are shooting meh/good at best. For example last night, min 5 shots attempted:

The Bad/Meh-ish:

Furphy: 1-8
Newton: 2-8
T. Alexander 2-7
W. Ellis: 1-6
GG Jackson: 2-7
J. Hawkins: 2-7
K. George: 1-5
P. Baldwin: 1-5
M. Jones: 0-6
C. Brown Jr: 1-5
J. Martin: 1-5
K. Johnson: 1-8
E. Bates: 3-12
P. Nance: 2-8
L. Miller: 1-5
R. Dillingham: 2-7
D. Nix: 2-7
J. Clark: 1-6
R. Sheppard: 0-5


The Meh+/Good/Very Good:

H. Tyson: 3-6
J. Wells: 3-9
A. Reeves: 3-5
J. Ford: 3-5
T. Funk: 3-6
B. Carrington: 2-6
J. Bernard: 3-9
B. Ellis: 3-6
N. Clowney: 5-8
J. Wilson: 6-7
T. Martin: 3-7
D. Knecht: 2-6
B. Hinson: 2-6
T. Hendricks: 2-5
M. Abmas: 2-5
J. Minott: 2-5
A. Griffin: 2-6

Look at Portland last night 9 guys were 0fers from 3 while Clingan was 2-7.
 
.-.
Couldn’t stay awake for the whole game but checking box scores it looks like Clingan dominated despite a big loss. Will need to try to find a replay or extended highlights but 16 points, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks on 54% FG and 2-7 from three
 
Clingan has looked pretty great and I couldn't be happier. His offense/touch is certainly a work in progress but he looks good in the pnr with guards who are missing the roll. His defense has been awesome, he's rebounding great, and the passing we've all seen is opening others eyes. He hasn't made many of them but the Blazers are letting him shoot threes like crazy so they believe in that being a part of his game. Made one the game before and made two last night.

Pretty good first half from Newton. 2 threes, few rebounds, 50% shooting

Looks a lot more decisive with the ball

Hopefully that continues. I have this game on record while I watch The Basketball Tournament with Stars of Storrs.
 
Not sure if others knew, Isaiah Whaley is playing for Dallas’ summer league team. Looks like he had a solid game vs Boston last night.
 
I really hope hawkins finds minutes on the opening day roster but nothing he's done in summer league warrants it so far 3 quarters left hopefully can find his shot a little. Stroke is so pure just hasn't been finding the basket

He didn't take a single 3 in a half?

Was struggling to get open but then had a mean looking ankle injury. Hoping he’s okay and it’s nothing serious, I’d be shocked if he played again today
 
Wasn’t watching but looks like Whaley had a great game yesterday. 14 points and 4 rebounds on 75% shooting in 16 minutes

Summer league is wrapping up. It was the last game yesterday for the Bucks (Andre), Bulls (Sanogo), Pacers (Newton), Pelicans (Hawkins), Mavs (Whaley)

Today is the last game for the Nets (Tyrese), Spurs (Castle although he hasn’t been playing), Blazers (Clingan)

The Grizzlies (Cam) are playing in the semifinals today, so they could play tomorrow too if they win. But Cam hasn’t played in the last 2 games due to injury, not sure if he’ll be playing

reported that Cam is done w SL w sore ankle
 
Unfortunate that Cam is out, his Grizzlies just advanced to the SL finals. The other semifinal game is going on, and if the Warriors win, he would have played against his brother, Pat, in the finals.
 
We were about 45 seconds from Cam probably begging the Grizzlies to clear him and let him play in the final vs his brother but Pat had a couple of turnovers on back to back possessions that sealed Golden State's fate. Pat looks like an NBA player to me, he was impressive a couple of seasons ago in the preseason for GSW and earned a 2-way last year.
