Players sitting out summer league finale?

[ianboyextreme]

I was watching the game yesterday and noticed Oladipo sitting on the sidelines.
Are you kidding me? This kid hasn't done ANYTHING yet and hes already sitting out games like hes some star?
If I were a coach, I would not even let my player do this as it sends the message to the other players, and to the game, that you are more important than them or somehow bigger than the game.
Glad the star on our summer league team has competitive drive and played in the finale.

who said that olapido was sitting by his own choice and not the coach's? does olapido have any minor injuries?

Summer league is strictly for evaluating new players to help decide who to keep for training camp. I'm sure they have a better feel for oladipo then many of the other players, it makes sense at the last game to play the guys you are still unsure of

Did anybody tell Orlando it's too early to start tanking?

Knowing what little I do of Oladipo, I highly doubt he was sitting by his own choice.  Most likely the coach's call.

Do you actively search for reasons to dislike players?

For your information here is a link called "Summer League Primer."

It contains lots of useful information for the totally uninformed, like this:

"The top players often sit out the last few days of summer league, opting to avoid injury once their teams have seen enough."

Perhaps you could read up on basic information like this before constructing your next bizarre conspiracy theory.

the point of summer league is to sift through players and see who could fill out the roster. oladipo is a lock for the roster, so why waste game time on a player you know will be on the roster when that could be another potential player on the court showing theyre skills
