Game: Celts vs Heat (7/5/14)

[DraftSmart33]

A little early for a game thread but I thought I would give everyone a heads up about the game tomorrow and maybe start some chatter.  The game, if you don't know is at 11AM and can be watched online by purchasing a summer league pass for $14.99.  If you don't want to spend the cash and live in the Boston area CSNNE will be televising the games but I am not sure if the games will be live or delayed.

Each year NBA.com does a rookie ladder ranking the NBA's top young talent participating...Last year Olynyk came out of no where and reached the top spot.  This year Marcus Smart has also been left out of the top 10 with players like Elfrid Payton taking the number 4 spot.   Can't wait to watch these guys hit the court together tomorrow.  As a bonus, local boy, Shabazz Napier should be handling the rock for the Heat.

Wimbledon Ladies final, Argentina vs. Belgium, and a Celtics Summer league game all at the same time.

My clicker will be busy too, clicking to watch the Celtics and Heat and not clicking to watch women's tennis or soccer.

Curious as to what the starting line up will be...

PG Pressey
SG Smart
SF Johnson
PF Olynyk
C  Iverson

I've read that Young will be there but not sure if he's going to be running in the first game.  I really hope Pressey takes a back seat to Smart...he needs the minutes trying to run a simplified NBA offense.

I'd rather have..

PG Smart
SG Johnson (Young when ready)
SF Babb
PF Olynyk
C  Iverson

Very weird that Smart isn't one of the top 10 on the ladder. I was under the impression that he was considered one of the most NBA ready rookies, just behind Parker. At the very least this should light a spark under him.

Its too bad we did not sign any of the undrafted guys to play for summer league. i would have loved for us to got Artem Klimenko on our sl team.
