Summer League Rosters and Webcast

Sefolosha looked smooth.

There was one great Thabo play in the first quarter where he stole the ball and then went up gracefully (dare I say almost Pippen-like) with his arm extended and then swung the ball around and dropped it off to someone right under the basket.  Then a possession or two later he made another steal and got fouled.

I saw what seemed like a nice post spin move from Ty2 at some point, one great looking dunk, and one great-looking block in the 4th.

I only watched about 1/4 of the action though.

I think in future, I might just wait to read the DraftExpress reviews of these games. . . It did make me anxious to see these guys after a full camp when it counts though . . .

Thabo ran the point the whole time he played.  He handled the ball well enough.  He finished two drives with his left hand, knocked down a 3 from the top of the key, and made some plays on defense.  The scouting reports seem accurate.

Thomas looked lost most of the game, except for a dunk on the break and another dunk when he spun in the post early in the game.  On offense you could see him thinking rather than reacting, and it led to turnovers and getting his shot blocked.

Luke and Basden looked like themselves, which isn't very good.  And everyone else is trash.

I think we need to be a little patient with this team as they have a lot of new players.

Ty2 was much better today.  He knocked down jumpers, rebounded much better, and was alot more active in general.  He's clearly going to make rookie mistakes, but atleast he looked like he could contribute this year.  I would like to have seen him have to guard May in the post more to see if he could do it.  May backed him down pretty easily the couple of times they matched up.    

When he played fifteen feet and in, he was pretty effective.  He was fouled everytime he drove so it was hard to tell how well he would have finished those drives.  At times he was played out of control on both ends of the floor, trying to do too much offensively and double teaming outside the 3pt  line for no reason.  I'm starting to wonder about his basketball IQ.  There's alot of wasted movement in his game right now.
