Cavs (1-1) vs Celtics (1-0) SL Game #2 7/8/19

yabu

awful

Did he not jump or was the pass lousy?  I thought the pass was off but they didn't show a replay.

[jpotter33]

Timelord!

[CelticsElite]

Tacko looking good but he gets winded really easily

he can still play a boban type role

[slamtheking]

timelord is still raw as hell but he's showing some effort out there.  anyone thinking he's our starting center this year is kidding themselves

[Surferdad]

Carson threw Yabu a lob!!!

That ... did not work.

I felt like that play right there was the end for Yabu,

[danglertx]

I am at the point where I want Tacko on the roster.

He can impact the game at that level.

It's way too soon to start thinking like this. Summer league is not the NBA. NBA players will be much more able to exploit Tacko's weaknesses, and NBA teams will punish him in pick and rolls and with stretch bigs. All this shows us is that he might be worthy of a camp invite.

All those things you could say about Cantor but he has a spot in thevNBA.  Or the Lopez brothers.

It would have , but it wasn't a PIZZA

His contract is through training camp. He isn’t just signed to the summer league squad.

You wonder whether they’d play some zone with him in - especially against bigs who aren’t threats to shoot.

Also possible he could play drop coverage at least in regular season.

I think he won't be able to play against every matchup, but if the other teams best player is someone like Drummond he can definitely have an impact

repeat after me....it is only summer league, it is only summer league.... 

even if he makes the roster, tacko has a llllllooooooooooooonnnnnngggggg way to go to get regular minutes in the nba.

but GW and edwards look ready to play already. GW is clearly the smartest player out there for the celtics. edwards can score, now he needs to learn to work within a CBS offense.

and waters might make the team as well. we shall see.

Where did I say regular minutes?  I said I want him on the roster.  He can sit the bench for entire games, I do not care.

He is so huge and also has enough skill that you can use him in a lot of scenarios.

All of this. I’ve reset my clock for him to next year.

If they did not think he was worth it, they could still tell him not to come. He needs to prove to them that he should go to camp.

this is our best team out there

with Yabu on the bench

i agree. and CBS will find such situations for him. it will be fun to watch him this year...and beyond.

Love the effort. We must be one of the hardest working summer league teams. Good team culture.
