I dont think we will this summer from reports. He's still unable to grip a ball with that thumb.

This has been asked and answered MANY times now. He won't be playing, they don't want to chance re-injuring or derailing his thumb and the recovery. They said he wouldn't be playing about 3-4 days after the draft but it wasn't something set in stone. Then, about a week ago, it was official. He hasn't even had any live contact drills, why risk putting him out there? He already felt some soreness after shooting, there is no way they would put him out there for more. He had to go back to wearing a soft cast or w/e you call it, as is, best to keep him working on that shot instead of trying to impress us in meaningless games.

Are the games running late?  My guide says NBATV has C’s on at 6:30pm central but the Wiz game hasn’t started the fourth quarter yet and it is 6:25.

It’s on NBCSports Boston if you are in the metro area.

I have seen what I need to see from Yabu thru out the regular season.  What is this? Year 3? He should be dominating the Summer League.

I say, give someone else those minutes. I don’t think Yabu is an NBA caliber talent.
No, he will get minutes in SL. That’s the point:  If he can’t prove himself NOW, in SL, they will look to move on somehow (trade or cut).

Scal and Forsberg are saying Yabu was pressing in the first game. He could do better tonight.

If he was pressing last game, how is it going to get better this game.  Seems like the pressure will just keep ramping up.  And if summer league is too much pressure, not a lot of hope for him playing meaningful minutes.  I’m not saying he can’t play, I’m not buying the pressing argument.

Fair enough, and I don’t disagree.  It’s just a POV that’s out there. The issue (IMO) is that the kid is signed to his rookie contract so there’s nothing to lose by giving him SL minutes. The rookies will get plenty of opportunities.

I’m disappointed that he hasn’t transformed his body.  He isn’t explosive, seems slower than ever and doesn’t appear to have worked on any part of his game.  Shame, seems like a fun guy.  Maybe too much fun, not enough work.  Could this Nets/Wiz game drag on any longer?  Good lord if this goes to overtime...

Has the game started or is it after this Nets game?
