Cam isn't playing and Liam is ruled out for tonight's championship game. That means all of our guys are done playing in Summer League. I watched pretty much every game that UConn players were in, here is my summary of their performance
Adama Sanogo - 6 games, 4.7 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 1.3 APG shooting 85.7% FG (12-14) and 80% FT (4-5)

- Unfortunately the Jazz had Adama mostly roaming around setting screens. Was efficient in the shots he did take, but didn't get many
- Did match up against Ryan Kalkbrenner in one game and had a really strong game abusing Kalkbrenner's drop coverage through a two man game with Walter Clayton Jr. 8pts/8reb that game for Adama
- Overall he didn't have the chance to show why he was an All G-League team player with his minimal touches. With his size/profile I don't see a long term NBA career, but he has a proven record of G League performance and should get that opportunity somewhere if he wants it
- Overall Andre was pretty disappointing. The Bucks wanted to see him take a step in scoring, and with the exception of the final game, he was way too hesitant to even look at the basket
- I'm pretty worried here. The Bucks pushed back his contract guarantee date and then signed Summer League teammate Chris Livingston to a contract, so I feel like the writing is on the wall in Milwaukee. Hopefully they trade him somewhere to give him another chance instead of just benching or waiving him
- Monster. Cam definitely earned that contract, he was a beast for Memphis
- In his second game he shot 7-10 on threes and made 3 of them in 1 minute early in the game. Two games of 20+ points
- Cam will get much deserved NBA minutes this year. So excited to see what he does with them
- Bouknight showed a much stronger overall game than we're used to seeing, playing as a scorer, rebounder, passer, and decent defender
- Unfortunately I did notice a trend in most games where he would start the game off focused and energized, and get lazy/show bad body language as the game wore on
- Did go crazy for 20 fourth quarter points in his 4th game (25 total), but overall I don't see much beyond a G League contract this season. He played well, but probably not well enough for a guaranteed deal unless someone is willing to take a bet on the upside of that 20pt quarter. He's only 24, so it's not completely unreasonable
- Liam only played 2 games due to injury, but he looked the part. Came out guns blazing in his first game with 22 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists
- He looked deadly as a shooter, looked not great as an iso scorer. This is not a surprise to us, but hoping that Charlotte keeps him in the right role
- As pick #29, that first game shows that Liam could be a major draft steal if he maintains consistency and health. I definitely see real rotation minutes for him this season
- Very active on the floor, but for the most part just roaming around and setting screens. Minimal minutes in minimal games, I'd expect Samson to end up overseas
- The stats look better than he was, they're boosted a lot by his final game where he went nuclear with 24 points/10 assists on 8-12 shooting and 6-9 from three. Excluding that game, he averaged 5.8 PPG, 1.5 APG on 26.3% FG and 33.3% 3P
- Tristen alternated between on-ball and off-ball with mixed results in both roles. I don't see an NBA spot in Minnesota as they are already guard heavy with mostly young guys - Ant Man, DiVencenzo, TSJ, Dillingham. Two way deal feels right (he did very well in the G League last year), but if there's any NBA future, it's probably not in Minnesota
