When I read this kind of stuff here I almost cry. People forget that the NBA game is VERY difficult and the guys drafted aren't old enough to drink for example.

T-MAC and Kobe Bryant had zero points in their NBA debuts. I wonder what posters on this blog would have said about that. They probably would trash two of the greatest players in the last 20 years.

Chill out guys, it's just summer league and we're talking about kids that just had their lives changed a lot. It takes time to get used to all the stuff and figure out what you have to do.

PS: I'm from Brazil, so forgive my english.
Brazilian Celtic Fan!

TP man. Bringing some common sense here. This stuff helps calm me down too.

Also, your English is great!
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

After watching Brown in Summer League I'm thinking he's gonna become a player similar to Moe Harkless or Harrison Barnes.  Maybe in a best case scenario he trends in that direction with some Demar Derozan dribble drive traits thrown in.

I respect you deeply Pho, but this might be the biggest overreaction I've seen so far this summer.

Repeat after me: it's impossible to make player comparisons based off of a game and a half of Summer League.

  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.

He has had some high ceiling moments. I for one know we need a player who can take it to the rack.
