After a great start , both have been pretty mediocre the last 3 games or so. Same goes for Joseph.
Melo while not expected to score much, has been getting beat on the defensive end and pushed around a little.
Both Sullinger and Joseph are shooting 2 for 7, 3 for 9 etc lately. Joseph has been turning over the ball a bit and Sullinger is just having a tough time scoring inside. His rebounding #'s has been good
All look tired. And maybe that's what the problem is. All have played lots of games. Though then we could argue so has Xmas, who looks like he is taking his game to another level the more he plays. Also just out of interest keeping my out on Royce White (the guy we could of had) and he has been rondo ing up the last 5 string of games now. Maybe only scoring 10 points, but when you also see 10 rebounds and 7 , 8, 9 assists in addition, that is impressive. Rockets summer team has been unstoppable.
Other notes
- Austin Rivers looks bad out there thus far. Shooting 3 for 12, 4 for 15 etc. and not passing very well either. He def should of stayed in college for at least another year. Looks like a bust so far or at least not lotto pick worthy
- Thomas Robinson , has looked pretty mediocre all summer league long. Is having a hard time scoring. At times he doesn't even try to score. Today vs the celts he finally got his first points in the later part of the 2nd quarter and he started the game.
- Damian Lilliard has dominated. Thus far, looks like he should of been drafted 2nd or 3rd overall.
He is shooting at 10-16, 11-15 etc., 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals consistently since summer league started. Just a scoring machine, but also has made some very nice passes.
MKG is injured but has looked great the 1st game he played. Lots of energy, nice length and intensity. From afar, the way he plays and even looks, he reminds me of a shorter kg.
Again its only summer league , but i would like to see our boys do well.
