I noticed Isaiah Colier fixed that lil hitch he had on his shot, he looked great.

[@concernedcitizen4171]

First time I've seen Hansen Yang in Summer League. Is it true he's only 19 years old?!? If so that dude looks like he has a legitimate shot at making the NBA and carving out a nice career for himself. He looks like he has the size, footwork and skillset to make it.

[@stretch1681]

Can we talk about Ricky Council showing out early

[@itsabadbadbadmovie4457]

That is newer for Yang. I seen his game a lot. Good player, and no longer a ball hog.

[@itsabadbadbadmovie4457]

James. Most of the coaching and plays in China are not drills, most of the time it is single players trying to glory ball and ball hog it most of the time. I have been living ion China for ten years now and play ball and help coach. There are some great prospects coming out from here, and those who do learn about when to pass, share and work as a team I think could have a good future. There are two Chinese players this summer league I played with, and I think they might find a bench spot on a team this year, happy to see them get the call

[@amitaiuriarte4094]

What do you make, if anything, of guys like Ethan Thompson (25 year-old) who has the following stat line after 2 games: 49 points, 5 of 11 on 3 pointers (45%), 18 rebs, 5 ats, 4 stls, and only 3 TOs. Is it just a 25 year-old beating up on 20 year old kids? Small sample size? As a Warrior’s fan, I’d like to think it’s something to get excited about, but...

[@chirocket4791]

Experienced players shine in SL. Happens a lot, but the most of those players usually get a two way at best.

[@iamzadok7470]

What about Ethan Thompson?

[@rodlove3132]

Can't wait to see Ron Holland and Bobi Klintman

[@mikejones9906]

Zach Edey was phenomenal last night, you can tell he’s been putting in a lot of hard work.

[@norrinradd542]

Castle has a chance at ROY with enough playing time. Ware to the Heat's the best thing for Ware. Yang's solid and underrated by some. Zikarsky and Maluach also in the same class could be crazy... This last draft class was known for their bigs, well Imo this years' class will have better everything, including bigs. I'd take all 3 bigs mentioned likely over even Sarr/Clingan/Edey, etc.

[@mikejones9906]

I don’t think Castle will see the floor enough to win ROY.

[@norrinradd542]

@@mikejones9906 Hard to say... I think he gets on the floor though, he'll back up Vassel some and Idk how much playing time CP3 gets. How much does he have left in the tank? He'll be a great teacher for Castle nonetheless and Castle will run the point probably when CP3 isn't on the court. He might not get enough minutes, but he just might. If he does, he's in the convo. His ability to make reads at point definitely help his case.

[@mikejones9906]

@@norrinradd542Yea, they just picked up Harrison Barnes as well and Castle isn’t a point guard, he’s a combo guard and there’s just a log jam at that position. He did look good, confident looking jumper and it seems like he’s gotten way quicker. He’s in the same boat as Collier, they have all the physical tools, they just need the jumper to be consistent and sky is the limit.
