Payton will be back

I love that the organization is taking summer league so seriously. I mean, it means very little in the grand scheme of things, but developing a sense of pride and competition in these guys is fantastic. I hope they bring it home tomorrow night.

Me too. 

I have been particularly impressed with the summer league coaching staff, to get them to play, frankly, more cohesively than the senior circuit.  The brand of ball has been very entertaining, particularly in summer league context.  I had never heard Mazzulla before, and have become quite impressed with his coaching.

Yeah, there is a greater level of cohesion in 10 days of practices and games than we saw over 5+ months with the senior squad.  We used injury and illness as an explanation, but the summer C’s have had a different staring lineup every game.  It’s clearer by the day the team had tuned the coaches out and likely each other out as well.  Looking forward to the new staff getting these guys up to their best selves.
It's crazy how on the same page they all are. Setting Summer League records for assists being just one example. I'm cautiously optimistic about this season.
Udoka, Hardy, Stoudamire and Sullivan, as well as Mazzulla all seem good to me. It's hard as fans to know anything about what assistant coaches are like, but on paper I like them more than Larranaga and Jerome Allen at least.

One thing I’ll say is I like how Zach Auguste has played, and I’m rooting for him to get the second 2-way, although he probably just gets a camp offer that can convert to a 2-way.

The defense is way better in Summer League this year. I wonder if it's a point of emphasis this year.

Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:
Quote
At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.
