Relax. He hasn't been terrible and sucked. Offensively, he hasn't looked great at all. Defensively, he's looked pretty good. People love to hate on JJ based on summer league.specialsauce wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 3:00 pmIt’s Summer League. Look at the competition he’s gone up against . He’s by far the most experienced player out there. He should be dominant on both ends of the ball.

He played well defensively but you expect much more out of him this year
Bone, you’re being a homer.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Homer? Nah. Just realistic and not 100% negative. It might be a reading comprehension issue :specialsauce wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 3:00 pmIt’s Summer League.

He's likely also looking to work on certain areas he usually doesn't work on during Summer League. This isn't Bo Outlaw trying to get 50 points against less competition.Superbone wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 3:12 pmHomer? Nah. Just realistic and not 100% negative.

That's definitely part of it. He said before SL started that he was looking to dominate. Well, he found out he isn't as good as he thought he was and he has work to do.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 3:18 pmHe's likely also looking to work on certain areas he usually doesn't work on during Summer League.

Dragan has been solid on the glass , also it's a minor thing but I've seen him dipping his shoulder into defenders (get off me) when they try to crowd him

Bender with a nice Dirk-esque fadeaway from about 18ft out. I've BEEN saying we should be getting him looks in the post.

Illicit work steam update: Streaming quality is quite poor. Lots of buffering. Lots of starting and stopping. Lots of blurriness. I feel like they are on to me and are throttling my connection...
I will soldier on.

George King looks good today. Drilled a 3, hit a couple floaters, just threw one down.

It was obvious when King blocked that bigger guy in his first game but he is an athlete

Looks like Mikal is playing with some fire. I wonder what happened?

back to back moves off the bounce for Mikal , two free throws and a dunk is good to see

Okobo played like two minutes and then left..did something happen?
Re: Game Day (Summer League): 76ers (0-3) @ Suns (3-0), Thurs 7/12/18
I don't like that Okobo hasn't been playing a lot. Wanted to see him get a lot of minutes. I like what Shaq's been doing and want to see him get better. But I was excited about Okobo.
