UConn in the Summer League

[Chief00]

He had some wild misses at the rim unfortunately. The only lay-up he actually finished was an "own goal" that he accidentally tipped into the other team's basket on an uncontested rebound.

That said, aside from the shooting percentages, I really did think he looked pretty good out there. 3 assists to 1 turnover is a nice stat.

I like Tyres. I wish he would sight the front of the rim or the box on the blackboard on his drives and just focus on that. He seems to get distracted when he gets deep into the lane.

He needs to go up strong and not worry about being rejected. All about footwork. He should watch Adrian Dantley film. He was a master at it and would score down low against the trees and he was only 6'4"

it was a different game back then.

DNPs last night for both Whaley and Cole.

Should see Martin get good minutes tonight. Hope he has a nice bounce back game.

Carlton with a double double last night in just 16 minutes off the bench. 10 point, 11 rebounds (7 of them offensive boards) and 2 assists. Spurs play again today.

Yeah Martin is at 6pm EST on NBATV.

Is it weird that Whaley got an exhibit 10 and has two DNP's?

No. He's almost assuredly going to get cut and then retained into their G league roster. Exhibit 10 basically just guarantees them his g-league rights for a quite small bonus.

I mean I guess it's a little strange anyone is getting DNPs in summer league, but I don't think they view him as at all likely to even sniff the roster.

It’s somewhat counter intuitive, but Tyres should cleverly go into a shot blocker’s body. What you don’t want to do is give a shot blocker space when you take it to the rim. If he gets proficient at taking it to the shot blocker’s body, Tyres would often get foul calls even if he misses the layup.

 

[awfuldan]

Charlotte has three guys that play center on their Summer League roster that are ahead of Whaley in the rotation unfortunately. Nick Richards, who played legit minutes for the Hornets last year out of pure desperation; Kai Jones, who was drafted in the mid 1st round last year; and Mark Williams, who they drafted 15th overall this year. Going to tough for Whaley to get any playing time.

Tyrese Martin on NBA TV right now. 2 made layups in first 4 mins.

Looks pretty good. Tough D, grabbing boards, running court well, led a nice break.

The whole ATL team can’t hit a damn thing. I think they are like 0-10 to start the 2nd half

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Tyrese the only ATL starter with + on the +\- stat thru ~3 quarters…

Much better game last night from Martin.

Carlton was a DNP for the Spurs after his double double the night before.

Today CV (3PM), Martin (5PM) and Cole (10PM ESPN) all play.

LOL. Do you not think Tyrese will be on the ATL roster come fall?

FWIW I watched some of the game last night and it's kinda tough to project how he's truly doing because, quite honestly, with the exception of maybe him, Tillman, and Brown....the ATL summer roster looks to be filled with a bunch of stiffs. Akinjo looked horrible with the exception of one fast break dime. Cooper listed as their PG did a horrible job of making the offense go. Too much time with the ball doing nothing & dribbling into trouble. Continually delivering the ball to teammates in horrible spots.

Agreed, the offense is hard to watch. The PGs (Cooper and Akinjo) have been wasting away possessions. They were 0/8 and 1/10 respectively. Chaudee Brown, while the only one putting up points, is really just letting them fly out there (3/14 this game). AJ Griffin has been labeled as day-to-day and hopes to play this summer league, hopefully that helps elevate the whole squad.

nothing aboot tmart, and everything aboot starbucks.
a while back, and living on manhattans east side, another female and their attempts to 'civilize' me. hey, i wear socks, sumtimes. forget that underwear stuff, tho. so, she takes me to her new fav coffee shop. could not care less aboot such, but i go.
outside the store, we set on a wall. 'here, u'll love it!' honest to goodness, i take a sip, spit it out, and say 'tastes like burnt coffee! yuk!' didn't even make the somewhat usual six months on that one.
your product review is brilliant. nailed it, bub.
another tale of coffee dating. arranged girl picks me up at my home in the morning. off to do fun stuff! by midday, im noticing that, seemingly every couple hours or so, she's like 'do u want a coffee? let's get a coffee...' imma a couple cups in the morning person, and that's it. no caffeine in the pm or nite for me. as we roll along the day, and get toward planning dinner, i ask this loon 'i notice that u drink a lot of coffee (freakin quart cup always in the cupholder), is this ur routine?'
bang, zoom, she goes off, '&^&$!!%!' drives me back to home, all the while '&*^^%($#! in the car. im happy now. she's touchy, and then gets on the phone to her pals who set this up. they call me, 'what'd u do? what'd u do?' i say 'what i did was not ask for this or even tell u i was interested. u set this up, and i just went along to be a pal.'
it's true. sumtimes nice guys finish last.
or not.

Rese will be in the league IMO, he needs to be able to score, but doesn’t need to exactly light up summer league to prove his worth. He’s an end of the bench guy right now, there was an old scout quote from an article (I think about Jimmer maybe?) where it said that those end of bench guys are more specialists with 1-2 + skills. Not necessarily scorers, as the NBA has plenty of them. Rese has 1-2 things + that IMO will get him at least some run in the league

I love it for Josh - such a great young man
So many who said he wouldn't amount to anything, he does it in the AAC, etc
7 offensive bounds is going to get noticed by lots of folks
Coach Sampson helped his game tremendously
Josh can play and will for $$$.

Tyrese will get better as time goes on. He will most likely see a split in time in the GLeague and with the Hawks. He has lots of room to grow into an NBA player and he has the desire. Rooting hard for him.

Still believe that AW can help an NBA team but his consistent paydays are most likely overseas.

CV, one of my absolute UConn favorites, and RJC will struggle to find room in the NBA - I feel that size will hurt them both. Neither are NBA PGs and both dont fit the 2 guard position mold. But they can make some money in playing somewhere.

How many Huskies will be an NBA starter this year?

How many Huskies will be an NBA starter this year?

I think it's 0 unfortunately. Some of our guys may start a couple games here and there, but I don't think any of them will start the majority of games.

Hopefully that will change over the course of the next few seasons, as we continue to put more young guys into the league.

Vital on the floor now for Raptors - Jersey #12 - NBA TV
Early 4th qtr

Good game for Tyrese so far right now. Going off in the third.

 

[Psolo12]

Tyrese absolutely HOOPING. 19 points in 18 minutes.
