'Dont get carried away its SL' (Fixed)

[Scintan]

The refrain 'don't get carried away its summer league' is what pessimists say when they are confronted with evidence.

No, it's what people who've watched professional sports know about exhibition games, especially when they aren't even against the elite-level players.

Hey!...no outward signs of happiness.

Exactly. I like everyone else wants to get pumped about summer league but the fact is you can't. The kids look good and most important have shown progress in a short period of time, it's a good first step.

Not overreacting but, they have performed better compared to last years summer league team.

Granted Marcus Smart has had 1 year of NBA experience under his belt, but I'm talking about the new guys, Rozier, RJ, and Mickey.

They are solid.

They've performed better in their first summer league compared to Smart and Youngs or even Kelly's first summer league.

yet, not quite as good as did harangody in 2010, who put up something like 16.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game in summer league.

and let's be fair and include those summer league MVPs glenn rice jr and josh selby.

where are they now?

the OP can believe what he wishes. i too hope the new guys are terrific. but we wont know until they prove it in the big show, and that may take a few years. summer league isnt enough to convince me of a player's ability. it can make me hopeful and pay attention, but that is all.

simple.

Hopefully that works the other way as well cause Smart only shot 35 percent against summer league competition.

Dude seems like he should be a better scorer but only happened once in the Summer league games.

Only shot 35% but showed he is tougher than any other player out there.

But these players can play though.

I'd even take it a step further and say to not only beware of summer league performances, but even small stretches of NBA ball where young players shine. Having been around this board and others for nearly 20 years, I can't even keep track of the number of prospects we've had that had a handful of good games and immediately start to draw ridiculous comparisons and expectations. I remember when Brandon Hunter was the next Charles Barkley/Paul Silas, J.R. Bremer the next Dennis Johnson, and Jiri Welsh was the next John Havlicek. I also remember when half the board lost their minds to see Ryan Gomes go in the Garnett trade only to see him never amount to anything.

And all of those players accomplished more than any of our youngsters have so far in the summer league.

I hope all our prospects pan out, but let's also not get carried away yet.

Well they showed me enough that they're capable.

Then your judgment is useless, because your analysis is based on nothing worthwhile.

lol...no surprise here

[Celtics4ever]

That one game killed his shooting percentage.

All things considered, I would rather see our guys do well than not do well.   Summer league is summer league and not a great prognosticator.   But they have Celtics on their Jersey and I want them to win and do well.
