Magic (1-1) at Celtics (2-0) Summer League Game #3 8/12/21

Don’t recall Yam playing in 2nd half.

Was he hurt?

[Csfan1984]

Well Ive seen enough of PP. He did a better job getting in the paint today. Showed good leadership, when the Magic cut into the lead he stopped the flow by making sure to get to the line. His passing improved the more he played with guys.

Nesmith keeps showing more confidence and ball handling. Just needs to keep working on things and he should get solid minutes.

Edwards looked the same. Not a good thing.

Juhann's good reads along with directing guys on the team not just his own play makes me feel like he will be an excellent glue guy. Impressive for his age.

Hauser looked motivated and kept moving all game. Much better performance. Even on defense he picked it up. His shot falling in maybe helped his energy.

Want to see Bruno against NBA bigs. He looks solid right now. Like his energy.

Maybe sit/rest PP and let Edwards start next game. See more Yam as well.

I know Edwards copped a knock, but unsure about Yam. Swear I saw him in the 2nd half, but I was only half paying attention

Really?? Thought Edward played a good half

He is very aggressive so far. And much more decisive

I kind of like him trying the end to end finish.  Putting the Ds on their heels

Like another person pointed out... Brad system/setup was slow last season.  Sometimes it became even slower as the game dragged on.  But SL Celts pace  quickens as the game progresses

This is a hallmark of D'antoni offense.... Udoka copy/integrate?

This Summer League team could beat last Year's regular season Celtics team....Keep Houser and cut Carsen, Keep Bruno.

Hauseman is already locked up

They should keep Bruno.  Cut Dunn(if no trade option). Keep Parker

Isn't Dunn's salary guaranteed?

Yes. Parker is odd man out.

Yam was playing off ball and kinda disappeared doing it, so it makes sense we can't remember if he played in that 2nd half.

He looks like he's having a hard adjusting to being a role player. He made a couple of defense plays but was real low-key.

I am getting the impression the coaching staff like Begarin more than they do Yam. Or maybe like is the wrong word. Maybe they think Begarin more NBA ready.

Begarin was playing more minutes, more important minutes and most often with the 4 guys that were on the team last year: Pritchard, Nesmith, Langford and Edwards. Kinda makes me think he might be higher in the plans than Mader, as of right now

[Ogaju]

One overlooked stat is Juhann’s 8 assists. Yes it’s summer league but it’s refreshing to see a guy trying to make the team, and yet be a willing passer. I think we might have a diamond in the rough here. Him And Yam are two exciting prospects to look forward to for sure.

Yeah, I notice that too! Houwitser also had 7ast. The ball movement was a thing of beauty!!!

Let’s hope that is something Ime is preaching.

Yam played 7+ minutes in the 3rd quarter and scored 4 points. They played other guys in the 4th.

He scored 6 points in 15 minutes.

That could be true but I expect to see more of Yam before this is over. They may be playing the guys who are doing what they want on the floor. Yam had a couple of nice plays but his energy seems really low.

Wonder if not having the ball in his hands most of the time he was out there affected him mentally, and so also affected his overall game

It seemed to.

Ime Udoka's demand for better ball movement is being heard. The Celtics set an NBA summer league record with 33 assists tonight.
