Jayson Tatum - The Celtics first round pick, #3 overall, will continue to have the spotlight on him throughout his first Summer League. In Utah, Tatum averaged 18.7 points on 46.8% shooting along with 9.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.3 steals.  He starred once again against the Lakers with 27 points and 11 rebounds. 
Demetrius Jackson -  After sitting out the final two games in Utah, Jackson was back on the court against the Lakers.  He finished with 6 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.  Most importantly,  the Celtics are 2-0 with Jackson and 0-2 without him. 
Jaylen Brown - Jaylen was a man among boys in his first game against the Sixers with 29 points and 13 rebounds.  He has come down to earth somewhat since then, though but has still played well.  Against the Lakers he had 11 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. 
Semi Ojeleye - Ojeleye was projected to be drafted in the 20's but slid to the Celtics at 37.  He struggled somewhat in Utah, but came on strong in his first game in Vegas with 19 points including 5-9 from beyond the arc with 3 rebounds.

RJ Hunter - Hunter was drafted #28 by the Celtics and was signed by the Bulls after being waived by the Celtics.  He was signed by the Long Island Nets in January to finish the season.  He scored 12 points in the Blazers' opener against the Jazz.
Caleb Swanigan - Swanigan was the 26th pick by the Blazers in the 2017 draft.  He   finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds in the Blazers' opener.
Zach Collins - Collins was the 10th pick in the 2017 draft by the Sacramento Kings.  He was traded on draft night to the Blazers.  He finished with 10 points and 7 rebounds against the Jazz.
Jake Layman - Layman was the 47th pick in 2016 by the Magic and traded on draft night to the Blazers.  He spent time between the D-League and the Blazers in his rookie season.  He finished with 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals against the Jazz. 

Game Notes
Both the Celtics and the Trailblazers will be playing in their second game in Las Vegas and both are playing in back to back games.  Both teams are undefeated in Las Vegas.  The Celtics won their opener over the Lakers while the Blazers won their opener against the Jazz. 

RJ Hunter, a former first round pick of the Celtics, is playing for the Portland Trailblazers.  He was signed by the Chicago Bulls after being waived by the Celtics but then was waived by the Bulls midway through last season.  He finished the season playing for the Long Island Nets of the D-League. 

Demetrius Jackson was back playing for the Celtics in their first game in Vegas after missing the previous 2 games.  His status with the Celtics is still up in the air.  His contract is partially guaranteed for the season and will be fully guaranteed if kept on the roster after July 15th.  He is a good defender and has done a decent job of running the offense for the Summer League team. 

Keys to the Game
Chemistry - Both of these teams have been together for a limited time, but the Celtics have played 4 games to try to build some chemistry as a team while the Blazers have played just 1 game. 
Defense -  Defense is always a key to winning, whether in Summer League, regular season or especially in the playoffs.  The Celtics need to play tough defense to give themselves a chance to win. 
Point Guard Play -  The Celtics play much better with Jackson playing the point.  Hopefully he will play again in this game and give the offense a boost. 
7-11 - The Celtics need their dynamic duo to play well.  Tatum has played very well in every game so far.  Brown started off strong and then has come down to earth a bit in the last two games he played in.  Hopefully he comes on strong again in this game.

Cool to see rj hunt back. Also, I liked Zach Collins in the draft he seems like he could be real good one day. Centers that can shoot the 3 will be in demand

Good to know, FlCelts, gives us a timeline.  Seems like Jackson is getting time in Vegas for one last look, but if a trade was imminent he might be sitting.

Good win last night after a bad start. Need more Jayson & Semi. The first game that I think Jackson played okay. We need a BIG turnaround from Jaylen because he has been out of control for a while. Zizic had a few good moves last night but man that shot was terrible - not even close - 8 foot airball, shot off the backboard. C'mon man.

Yeah like I said in that game thread, he has a decent drop-step and spin move in the low post, but he needs to add a midrange shot or he won't go far.

Unfortunately, Brown looks like his defense has significantly regressed. He seems to regularly lose track of his man on help defense.

That's disappointing, because at the end of last season he looked to have made significant strides there.

I was more than dubious about the trade, but I have to say that JT has blown me away. He was #2 on my board, but I had Fultz still a bit above him. Not so sure that I have anyone above JT anymore. Every game he seems to display more and more, in every facet.

I love JT, and he's swayed me.

Dirk is a seven footer, Tatum player a lot of guys in college smaller than him. In the NBA most defenders will 6'7, 6'8 on him and he's gonna have a hand in his face every time. Not saying he cants make it because he has so far, but I worry about guys who rely on difficult shots. The ability to stretch the floor both in terms of hitting his threes and getting to the basket occasionally will be key.

If Tatum learns to recognize when teams collapse on him, and can accurately kick out, he is going to be a star.

Is Semi literally bullying his way into the team? Guy has been in everything.

Am I the only one thinking PJ Carleismo's voice is so raspy Latrell must've strangled him harder than we thought? Did anyone else point that out? Sorry if anyone else already covered that
This is all I can think about when I listen to him.  Sounds like he's been a chain smoker for 95 years.  Sounds like Doc Rivers and Thibs after a big game.   Horrible voice.

Just a slop fest of a game, even for summer league. There's a whistle almost every trip down court.

Good to see Zizic look better. He didn't look as sluggish tonight.

How did Zach Collins go #10?  He looked completely ordinary in this game, but then, so did Jayson Tatum.

Okay Jayson, enough with the midrange shots. Need to diversify.

Collins had a really good year last year at Gonz.  He has some really great skills for a big kid, but I kinda wonder if he should have stayed in school one more year to bulk up a little bit and get a little stronger.  I agree he didn't show much today, he sure did last year at Gonzaga though.

Zizic actually showed some quickness tonight.  He's gotten better as summer league has gone on.  Teammates need to understand his skillset - he's not, nor will he ever be, a target for lobs.  There were at least two turnovers tonight because his team confused him for DeAndre Jordan. 

Tatum seems to fall in love with those iso-Pierce midrange shots.  I'd like to see him take it to the basket more. 

Brown is still struggling to create.  Very athletic, but he doesn't yet understand how to work a defender, and if the defense sends help then it's a turnover.  No shortcut for experience.

Collins looked less than ordinary to me. He played weak. It wasn't Tatum's best game but it's not like they ran any plays for him it's just go get your own shot. He had a real nice block and he seems pretty good on D and rebounding. Ojeleye is starting to grow on me.
