I wouldn't go that far. I'd say Brown, Ingram and maybe Lance have the chance to be great defenders. Zubaz can probably be a good rim protector but he's going to end up being too slow footed and non-agile to not be exposed by great offenses on switches. D'Angelo has great length for his position but I doubt he'll be any kind of lockdown defender. I just hope he's not Harden bad.
Russell plays the passing lanes well and can guard his man 1 on 1, but he still needs to work on some other areas.
I don't think he'll be harden bad. A lot of his problems on defense are bball IQ related, not saying he'll be a lockdown defender or anything but he could be decent enough.

D'Angelo showin' up at Summer League like
I wonder if they use the NBA as an excuse to have some fun.
"Yeah honey, we're only here to persuade a free agent to join us."
"Danny, get in the hot tub!"
"Gotta go negotiate honey."
"When he tries" which is like once a season.
I wonder if he stays with Minnesota
Heck yea he does... he is from my town Apple Valley, MN. Hometown boy... I see Rubio moving on if Tyus is starting to get his NBA legs.

I have just one question: Did we do it?
Samsung All-NBA Summer League 2016 First Team
Tyus Jones (Minnesota)
Jordan McRae (Cleveland)
Bobby Portis (Chicago)
Ben Simmons (Philadelphia)
Alan Williams (Phoenix)
Samsung All-NBA Summer League 2016 Second Team
Jaylen Brown (Boston)
Thon Maker (Milwaukee)
Kelly Oubre Jr. (Washington)
Normal Powell (Toronto)
Tyler Ulis (Phoenix)
Tyus Jones (Minnesota)
Jordan McRae (Cleveland)
Bobby Portis (Chicago)
Ben Simmons (Philadelphia)
Alan Williams (Phoenix)
Samsung All-NBA Summer League 2016 Second Team
Jaylen Brown (Boston)
Thon Maker (Milwaukee)
Kelly Oubre Jr. (Washington)
Normal Powell (Toronto)
Tyler Ulis (Phoenix)
Thrilled to have it confirmed that Brown is better than Ingram. Portis was a man amongst boys in some of those games. McRae showed very well too, but he's much older.

Let me just say that when I left the room, I heard some yelling and celebrating.
There is no way Tyus ever ends up as good as Rubio. He'll be an acceptable third PG on his rookie deal. I mean, it's Summer League so people should probably pump the brakes on wondering if Tyus is for real. I mean, Payne looks competent on occasion in SL.

Mavs went from falling for one terribly misguided hype train (Parsons) to another (Barnes).
Still cant believe a guy can get paid what he did for failing so miserably. He literally has no go to moves and has regressed as a defender lol.

I think he only actually played in 2 or 3 of the games in Vegas - he was more impactful in Salt Lake but this is only Vegas.

I need confirmation. Did we do it?
It's quite obvious that Brown is going to have the better career. Ingram is a clear bust at this point.
Nah there's no need. This is the ultimate validation. I know everything I need to about a player after a week in Summer League - in fact like everyone here I already know it at the draft.
I might get in trouble for this...but I'm willing to risk it.
We did it! The Dieg delivered again!

I feel like Klay is being disrespected in this pic.

"you stay in the back, lightskin"
These results are garbage lol.
He's too lowkey to care.
Dude is just doing it for some Brazilian women. Probably doesn't even care about the gold. As long as he doesn't get Zika then the whole thing is a win for Klay.

I got a bad feeling about injuries this upcoming season. Dray and Klay have logged a crazy amount of minutes these past 3 seasons (not so much per game- but across the board). Both of them are iron men when it comes to health thus far.

The biggest lol to me is Ben Simmons getting 1st team. Booker and DLO and Rozier were way better and they weren't even voted on.
They're both pretty young. But with the way GS would look tired at different points last postseason I don't think even more minutes is the answer.
Same. And even before the two straight finals Klay played on that FIBA team for that one tournament.

The pass at 56 sec in is just beautiful. If he ever gets a decent jumpshot I feel bad for the rest of the league. He's far from it now, though.

This is why you were no longer needed in Philly.
Im sure if the actual hinkie did more of those type of jokes, he'd probably still be here. Philly sports media is in a god awful state right now, a lot of old people still stuck in spots that should be taken by younger more knowledgeable kids, and the only other people that have good jobs are hot take gen x'ers who reported multiple times that Saric wasnt coming over even after he said multiple times he was coming over, and then when grilled about those statements, he said Saric knew about the military coup and that's why he left, even though he left way before the military coup even happened (imagine the lives Saric wouldve saved if he shared that knowledge)
Our media hated Hinkie because he hardly ever talked to them, and who can blame him honestly? Our media actively tries to sabotage our team half the time.
Our sports radio is ace though
Im Sam Hinkie though, Trust the Process
Tom is a hero
This got a chuckle out of me lol
Phil Knight can make people disappear.........
Philly is going to pay that man despite him being meh.
