Summer League Observations (merged)

[tarheelsxxiii]

Sullinger looks very solid. He's gonna break into the line up, man. Love it.

Melo surprisingly looks like he has never played bball before. And Jones is dominating. Good call on that, Danny.

Who's Christmas? Looks good in this 78p version I'm watching online right now, lol.

Please stop suggesting, assuming, hoping JJJ is an NBA player.

Sullinger looks really good out there, good FT shooter and able to use the body very well. Love his post move.

Melo definitely has the talent. Offense can still improve but I like his defense already.

Johnson looked awful out there. Moore is a good scorer but not much of a defender out there.

its a spot on a NBA roster for E'Twaun Moore in a Gary Neal type role but not wit Celtics if his play dont improve i expect him to get cut

Moore and Johnson look like big candidates in a potential sign and trade for Lee. Yes please!

I am not sure what game you guys were watching, but while Jones was solid, Sullinger was much more efficient and scored more points in less minutes.  Melo had some nice flashes and good defensive instinct.  E'Twaun Moore struggled against the best OKC player Reggie Jackson, but worked his way through and iced the win at the end. Sean Williams after a strong start started making some bad plays.  Christmas did outplay Moore but he did have the much easier matchup.  JaJuan Johnson was pretty solid.  Still seems unsure of himself.  Hopefully that will change with more practices.

Joseph, Sully both impressed. Melo impressed with help defense. E'twaun shot well which is why I would like to keep him. He has a knack for hitting big shots. He just has to get better at running offenses.

No thanks. I like my chances with Dooling as the backup PG than a score first PG that can't really score.

Moore had the toughest matchup.  Reggie Jackson is ridiculously athletic, strong and has a monstrous wingspan.  Moore was out played, but not as badly as you would expect a 50's pick to be by a 20's pick.

sounds good to me. sully is a keeper. melo will progress. what about williams? joseph has potential also.

If he's going to get outplayed in a Summer League game, imagine what will happen to him in the NBA.

I think Joseph is also a keeper but not Williams.

Williams is just not smart. He shot a 3 with about 15 seconds left on the shot clock. Ran back on defense after OKC shot the first of two free throws and plenty of other stupid mistakes. He has a lot of energy but he just isn't worthy of having a spot on this team.

I'd be shocked if we don't bring Dooling back. He played hard on D, and can hit the 3.

As a guy who hated the draft and was very high on pj3 here is my opinion.

Sullinger is a KEEPER, why you ask? Lets put his game to the side for a minute and look at his effort. you can tell that he LOVES the challenge and wanted to PROVE that he was better than pj3. Pj was going off and Sullinger was struggling early, but sullinger has that (anything you can do i can do better) attitude. Watch the game over again and he continued trying to 1 up PJ the whole game.

I was all over Pj3 in the beginning and was saying "dangit danny you idiot you should of gotten PJ over all!!" but if you look at the ending results, Sully had GREAT low post abilities and that is something the C's need.

Ok once again i was like this kid stinks why is he here, he is just like ryan hollins. After i finished watching the game i can tell the kids struggles on the boards. On the other hand the kid covers the floor FAST! he was going from one side to the other with great quickness. I feel like all he needs to do is learn to box out and he will dominate. He was getting those blocks with ease i really see the potential out there.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Overall i hated the guards play. They shot to dang much (i guess trying to earn a roster spot) and that made them look horrible. I was so irritated watching these clowns try and dribble and shoot every chance they had. I was like watching a pick up game of street ball and you got the 1 guy who wants to score all the dang points. Although, Moore had 16pts I was very unimpressed on how he got those 16pts. I felt like those points would have been easy asssist if he looked for the open player.

JJJ was not all too impressive on the boards. The box score dont tell the whole story. The ball pretty much fell into his lap i rarely saw him go up for a board.

Kris Joseph i am starting to love. The C's need someone who can Iso + penetrate and when he actually did that he did it well. Enough outside shots lets take the ball and drive it in the lane! I think he will be key off the bench if we don't get another back up PG

Hit the nail with every evaluation. Well said.
