Hmm, I’ve actually seen some pretty nice moves to the hoop by Lecque. Why do you say he isn’t a scorer?

It's tough to say how Lecque projects. He's about 6-4 185, lightning quick and super bouncy but again, doesn't show much in terms of offensive versatility right now. Usually if a guy's a scorer, it's a natural thing and he can put the ball in the basket. Haven't seen that from Lecque thus far. What's Russell Westbrook without the offense?
I also kept a look out for Brandon Clarke, who wasn't much of a factor in last night's game. He's obviously athletic and made some nice passes out of the paint with good awareness of where his teammates were. I still think his size will be an issue as he looked smaller standing in the lane when FTs were being shot.
Wasn't he like +24 or +23 last night, after posting similar the game before?
Yup. I was wrong, he's awesome.

I'm talking more in terms of shooting and looking for his shot off the dribble. He's shown he can play in PnR and can beat his man off the dribble but I don't think he's looked for his shot off the bounce.

Gotcha, ya his shot has a long ways to go. I’m not too worried about him not hunting shots right now. I’m cool just letting him develop slowly.

I don't know if you were wrong, as I thought the same thing when I watched. In fact, I thought Spalding was having more of an impact myself. I was surprised by the stat when I saw it, although I admittedly didn't watch the whole game.

I hope they have a good plan for him and develop him right. I like a lot of the things I've seen from him, but agree that he still has a long way to go. Just make sure he develops correctly.

I didn’t watch the game at all, but plus/minus in a single game isn’t exactly a good indicator of who played well.

2 games in a row, so we'll watch to see if it's a trend.

It’s also summer league, he’s 23, and was one of the best college basketball players in a long time. It shouldn’t be a surprise if he’s dominating summer league.

I watched a fair bit of that game and I wouldn't say he dominated in any specific way. His +/- numbers are good, but like Shel said, he looked small for his position and guys like Lecque and Spalding weren't afraid to go at him.
I still like him and think his greatest assets will always be athleticism and intelligence, but he'll need to develop at least one reliable skill to be an impact starter for a good team.

Again, it's summer league. It can't tell you if you'll be awesome, only if you're going to suck.
