Celtics (0-1) vs Sixers (0-1) Jazz SL Game 2 7/7/15

[BlackCeltic]

buckner pushed him out and Oak who looks 100lbs heavier.

You are exactly right. Okafor doesn't appear to be strong for his size.

Maybe James Young just isn't a very good basketball player. He looks pathetic.

You gotta be at least decently productive playing against the scrubs in summer league.   If you can't then it is probably back to Maine.  So disappointing.  I keep waiting for the switch to be flipped.  oh well.

Is there an example of anyone that absolutely sucked in the Summer League that went on to solid NBA careers?

no

Rozier had a good few pick and rolls where there was all the space in the world for him to pull up and shoot and he passed out of it.

Be more aggressive..

Anyone remember Terrell Brandon? That's who I think Rozier's best case scenario comparison is.

Brandon was a very nice player.  Not sure if he was ever an All-Star, but if not then he would have been mighty close to it.

Cory Joseph who is now with his home Raptors

Remember those questionnaires guidance counselors would sometimes give college students to help them identify careers/jobs they may be interested and/or well-suited for? I'd love to know what would be recommended for Young.

Initial guesses: night-shift (stationary) security guard or a mystery shopper.

[YeezusChrist]

Am I the only one who feels that people overvalue lottery picks?  Is okafor really that good?  Philly is going to stink.

You have done the same thing with Rozier...

You have been boasting about him all game but he has really done nothing. Some people have said he can turn into Westbrook but you have a problem with people saying guys like Okafor will be an allstar eventually??

 If I had to choose between Okafor and Rozier I would choose Okafor without hestitation

[Chief]

So many unskilled ball hogs in summer league. Im truly embarrassed for each and every one of them.

Be more aggressive..

I think it's because he's not a very good shooter.

[KeepRondo]

These guys sure look bad.

Smart's not playing!

he had some bad moments yesterday also.

[crimson_stallion]

I think James Young is a merger of Jeff Green's personality and Brian Scalabrine's talent.

I've seen better games in the basketball court 2 blocks away from my apt in Brooklyn....

[TA9]

Well their goal was to be the best defensive team in the SL... Job accomplished in regards to this game

These are the games where its totally fine for him to work on that shot in game though?

That's what summer league is for.
