Clingan made 3 yesterday. He wasn’t picked for his scoring. Dude has the paint on lockdown and he does all the lil things to win. His takes up a lot of space

[@jonc3768]

Yeah the guys were very lazy today. Didn’t watch the game or even bother to check the box score

[@shadshad2972]

@@jonc3768exactly, you can tell they don’t watch every game in depth.

[@CarloBarlo69]

Clingan looks like he has complete control of the rim at all times. When he’s on the floor nobody even tries to attack

[@norrinradd542]

I had a feeling Kel'el Ware would be proving the non believing experts wrong after the draft process. Dadiet and Salaun were both prospects considered "raw". Hey, not bad for raw... I'm eager to see what the after SL redraft is going to look like.

[@johncraig4820]

2:45 Furphy was cold in his first 3 quarters of the summer league. The game has slowed down for him he is better than 35% at this level of competition.

[@sarj4918]

Tristan Da Silva looks like the real deal

[@mikejones9906]

Even though Sarr was bad, there aren't many 7 footers ever created in the history of life that can move that fluidly, so he will inevitably improve.

[@MikeyDubs49]

34:00 I watched the Sarr game and am a Wiz fan. He played well during the game, he didn’t shoot any side step threes. His looks weren’t bad, he was just short on pretty much everything.

[@shadshad2972]

Yeah, these guys don’t really watch the game. They just watched the highlights.

[@jrh63200]

Is TJ a better pick than Sarr?

[@bongassociatesanalytics124]

Terrance Shannon Jr?

[@warlockmagic3416]

I thought Spurs sorta fkd up their draft for the picks they had. I thought they'd selected Buzelis, C. Williams, or Salaun because he's French to pair with Victor. Give him a fellow French man. Lol Or Carter, Dillingham. But they traded for other picks. We will have to see. May have dodged a bullet not selecting Dillingham. I haven't liked him at all in Summer League. He's a complete liability. It looks as if Bub Carrington is the best PG of this draft right now.

[@jimpugh1778]

Zach Eddy. I think he might be underestimated in plain site. Interesting that you are not talking about him.

[@jimpugh1778]

sight.

[@mikejones9906]

Buzelis clear number one pick.
