Orlando Magic (2-2) at Boston Celtics (2-2)
Orlando Summer League Game 5
Friday, July 12, 2013
2:00 PM ET
NBA-TV


The 7th place Celtics take on the 8th place Magic on Championship Day at the Orlando Summer League.   The Celtics opened league play on Sunday with a loss to the Magic and will look to avenge that loss in this game.

Players to watch on the Magic include Andrew Nicholson, Kyle O'Quinn, and first round draft pick Victor Oladipo.   According to A. Sherrod Blakely, Phil Pressey has been extended a training camp invite and so he will be someone to watch on the Celtics.  Along with Pressey,  keep an eye on the Celtics impressive rookie Kelly Olynyk and second round pick Colton Iverson.

If I was Orlando, I'd be a bit concerned that my roster of good quality picks is only in 8th place in this summer league

Since we had a day off yesterday, I hope they still throw Kelly out there. Let the rookie play!

I;d like to see more of holman, Abraimaus(sp), Mitchell and Hill just to get a better gaugue on them.  KO, Iverson, Pressey I think are locks.  the rest dump.

I think it is safe to say the only players with any potential at all are KO, Pressey, Iverson, and maybe Mitchell.  After those guys I don't think anyone is even dleague worthy.

Melo showing effort. Looks like he realises that this is one of his last chances. Not saying he's looking more skilled but it's nice to see him playing hard.

Oh and man, that was a nice hard run and beautiful finish by Olynyk on that fastbreak.

The olynyk compliments relating to his play sound like a broken record. How consistent is this kid? He is almost as good as automatic inside the three point line.

Mitchell as a third string wing ? Might be worth it. Wouldn't be against it, atleast a camp invite no ?

Not liking Granger at all. He's not a point guard and keeps forcing things he should know he can't do.

Is Mitchell better than Kris Joseph then? Would be the question if he were at training camp

One thing I'd like to see from Olynyk is on those shots just outside of the block, I'd like to see him use glass.  It is so hard to put touch on those really short shots.
