I know its only summer league, and game 1 at that, but WOW! Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum look like they could be the two main guys on a contender in the future. They both looked fantastic on both ends of the floor, and they work so well together. THAT is why you don't trade either one of them for a 1 year rental of George, or for Butler. Each of them will be better than Butler very soon.

I'm a huge Zizic fan, I was excited to see him play, but I have to admit, he looked slow, and got out-muscled by the big stiff on the Sixers. Still, he had some nice flashes in the post. I will wait and see how he looks in the next few games.

Ojeleye had some flashes of athleticism, a great drive and dunk, hit the three pointer, but otherwise looked totally lost. He may need some time to adjust.

Jackson tried really, really hard but was flat out awful. I felt bad for him, but he has no place in the NBA.

I really like Nader, even if he's 24, he looks ready to step in and help our team this season off the bench. He reminds me of a bigger Delonte West without the attitude issues.

I was impressed with Bolden on the Sixers. He showed great athleticism for a big guy, and a very nice outside shot along with good defense.

Watched all the highlights. Tatum's game winner was nice but I liked the pull up shot when the game was tied at 83 even more. Summer League doesn't mean very much but I am glad to see he's willing to came in and take (and make) the big shots.

Jaylen is a monster in the open court. Again, summer league doesn't really mean anything, but as long as he's out there playing, it's nice to see that he's dominating. 7 turnovers, yeah, but he had 29 points on just 16 shots. Got to the line 10 times (he's gotta get better from the line) and dominated the way he's supposed to.

I like Zizic's physicality. If he can rebound, set hard screens, roll hard, and finish around the rim he'll be fine.

Zizic was fine for the first 10 minutes, then got winded.  He needs better conditioning to play in the NBA.  I was a little disappointed, but he can fill Zeller's role for a fraction of the cost.

LOL.....Lakers forum was a riot again.  Tatum and Fultz had them drooling with envy.

They were saying if Ball does not drop least 30 his debut game ...they are gonna be fit to be tied.

Also one guy said Brown looked like LeBron out there toying with Philly in Summer league....LOl
