But yeah, he's one of the worst analysts I've ever seen.

It was the best of times....

Best Rookies

1. Cody Zeller, Charlotte Bobcats
After a slow start, Zeller has put together back-to-back impressive games, scoring inside and out and hitting the glass. He leads all rookies with 9.3 rebounds per game. Among a group of first-year players that has generally struggled, he stands out as a clear No. 1.

...it was the worst of times.

Most Disappointing Veteran

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Charlotte Bobcats
Kidd-Gilchrist's first jumper of summer league was highly anticipated; everyone wanted to see if new Charlotte assistant coach Mark Price had helped Kidd-Gilchrist fix his broken form. Unfortunately, it was as cringe-inducing as ever, and Kidd-Gilchrist missed both 3-pointers he attempted in that contest. Beyond that, he made little impact on the game.

Taylor, the Bobcats' second-round pick a year ago, has been the team's best wing player in Las Vegas. That's a troubling sign for last year's No. 2 overall pick, who has yet to improve much as a pro, although he doesn't turn 20 until September.

Other best rookies:
2. C.J. McCollum, Portland
3. Lucas Nogueira, Atlanta
Honorables: Dennis Schroeder, Reggie Bullock, Ray McCallum, Deshaun Thomas

Most disappointing rookie: Ben McLemore

Best Veterans
1. Jonas Valanciunas, Toronto
2. John Henson, Milwaukee
3. Kent Bazemore, Golden State
Honorables: Mike Scott, Jeff Taylor, Marquis Teague, Evan Fournier, Cory Joseph

 

[SamuraiX-]

lol DY

 

[Dominican Power]

McLemore fits in perfectly with the discombobulated cast that is The Kings.

 

[Red Blaster]

shobazz got an assist in transition, amazing

mclemore is horrible

 

[Corran Horn]

McLemore fits in perfectly with the discombobulated cast that is The Kings.

Its a lovely discombobulation.

 

[Tallshortman]

Oh boy, did the kings strike another lottery bust? Read ESPN's vegas league review of McLemore and it said he still doesn't have an assist with 11 turnovers iirc.

 

[DY_nasty]

Dude. MKG showing that he can contain his power level is the victory. I was worried he was going to be diving for loose balls and trying to absolutely destroy the people in front of him like he was coming out the gates last year... Anyone who's seen more than a few games from MKG knows that his shot doesn't mean nearly as much as him simply surviving. He plays way too hard to support his frame right now.

(I'm pretty sure if people didn't look at him shoot, then he'd never miss)

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Demetri McCamey seems pretty good. We should sign him.

lol what the fuck

 

[DY_nasty]

lol what the fuck

Dude is a mix of AK47, Gerald Wallace, and Josh Smith in baby form. He could never get a jumpshot and have a form worse than Shawn Marion's and nobody would give a fuck. The rest of his game, as is, is that complete. I just don't want to see him get hurt more than anything else. He really needs to grow into himself. The shot isn't even that big of a deal to me.

Outplaying other rookies and scrubs isn't a good metric.

And Wiggins in Toronto would be a nice feel-good Toronto media story but in a hockey-town nobody gives 2 fucks if the raptors go 0-82 for the next 20 years. The leafs are the payday, the raps just pay the rent.

Nike needs Wiggins to land in a major US market for maximum exposure - so if LA/NY/CHI have ping pong balls they win.

[Red Blaster]

shabazz has actually looked okay this game

still neo-quentin richardson tho

 

[Knux-Future]

still not MCW good.


;_;

 

[Rodeo Clown]

All Bazz has to do is shoot the lights out from 3 and he might see the floor this year. That's totally doable, right.

 

[Emwitus]

Marry me maria!!!!!

Sigh

 

[diehard]

McLemore having a worse SL than Burke makes me feel slightly better.

 

[darkside31337]

McLemore looks absolutely god awful.

Magic dodged a bullet.

 

[Red Blaster]

lol

still going

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Shabazz does seem to be pretty alright catching and shooting.

 

[Syphon Filter]

time for knicks vs da heat.

 

[DY_nasty]

CJ Leslie will never play the 2 or 3.

The fuck is Clyde talking about

 

[Knux-Future]

Shabazz does seem to be pretty alright catching and shooting.

This is the acceptance stage in process folks.


"Turner is pretty great at dribbling..."

"Turner's shot isn't that bad...right now.."

"Turner isn't super em....shit where is the knife."

 

[Red Blaster]

cj mccollum's point guard skills are terrible

lou williams 2.0 he is

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Mike Miller's thinking about retirement or back surgery.

 

[Black Mamba]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 1m
Free agent 7-footer Byron Mullens is nearing agreement on a two-year deal with the Clippers, league sources tell Y! Sports

Ahahaha. He's their Dumbandre 4th quarter replacement.

Title contention averted.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Oh well, Clippers had a good run.

 

[ph33nix]

Ahahaha. He's their Dumbandre 4th quarter replacement.

Title contention averted.

Holy fuck you guys

The Clippers got their stretch FIVE

 

[darkside31337]

Clippers blew it.

 

[DY_nasty]

Absolute idiocy

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The Clippers seem to have gone out and looked for the worst center rotation possible this offseason.

That's really not good when your PF can't move to the 5 at any point because his arms are so short.

 

[Vire]

Wow, now I feel extra bad about Mike.

Having to move your family to a shithole like Cleveland? Just retire bro.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Ahahaha. He's their Dumbandre 4th quarter replacement.

Title contention averted.

So they got a tank commander to pair wih DumbAndre...:lol.
