[manl_lui]

KO looking good at the half...I almost called him Dirk Nowitski 2.0

Anywhere to watch this game free? Summer league pass, 15 bucks, I think not.

NBA TV, but honestly $15 for 83 games is pretty solid. And they are all archived for on-demand viewing. Five Celts games, and the other rookies will be fun to watch too. I'm curious about Maclemore and Zeller.

I love Pressey so far. He was really getting after Oladipo on defense.

Olynyk and Iverson both looked as expected, but a little better. Iverson rebounding hard. Olynyk crushing it on the offensive end and getting lit on defense. He couldn't stop Nicholson at all.

FAB MELO OH MY GOD. If you can't hold your own even a little bit in a summer league game when you are the biggest and most experienced player on the floor, what are we supposed to do with you? IT'S TIME. WAKE UP. AT LEAST BANG ON SOMEONE AND LOOK LIKE YOU'RE TRYING.

Pressey: A+
Olynyk: A-
Iverson: A
Melo: F

Personally I'm alright with two solid pickups on rookie contracts in a rebuilding offseason. Brad isn't supposed to have anything to work with this year.

He looks better last 5 plays or so but don't let +/- fool you, he hasn't been good. He does look much better physically, he's getting up and down better than a lot of the guards. Offensively there is nothing to say b/c they have overlooked him and he has gotten himself wide open a lot... he calls for it but this is SL, not much for bigs unless you score like a guard like KO (Sully last season). He does look better than last season though Lol. I dunno, he just hasn't done much of anything out there. Some of it is on him and offense is on SL style of play. After going over in my head, he doesn't look bad but not good either.

Out of *this* bunch, all we expected was Oly, Colton and maybe one guard (Pressey, Smith or Johnson-Odem). Melo was a big question and he's still a big question. KO looks good, Iverson looks okay, and of the guards...Pressey, maybe.

love the way olynyk can dribble the ball. We haven't had a tall guy who can dribble like that since ever. As far back as Larry Bird?

THE HOOK SHOT!!!

[TheGreenMonster]

yeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss Andy Murray just won Wimbledon

[Eja117]

So supposedly the 2012 draft was so great and 2013 was terrible and the two best players on the floor are from 2013 with Harkless, O Quinn, Fab, Doron Lamb, and A Nicholson not doing much of anything

[JJones1090]

Pressey just had a beauty of a shot

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

Every time I say something about someone they play much better lol, wow, shut me up haha!
