Ayton draw the attention of 3 guys, Okobo is wide open who dishes to the man who drew all the attention for a dunk, beautiful.

That was a great sequence. Gotta keep the big man happy.

Hopefully you knew i was being facetious. I think he's played very well.

Ayton ends the game with 21 and 12

8/11 FG
5/5 FT
0 TO
1 STL
1 BLK
5 Offensive rebounds

Laughably, he had 0 assists despite setting up probably 6 or 7 wide open 3-point shooters. Our guards just couldn't knock them down.

I figured you were, but it was just like you ordered a couple of them up.

The overreaction every year from Summer League is priceless. :lol:
I'm not worried about any of our '18 picks. Bender and Josh Jackson are another concern for me though.

He'll be a load for us down low. I just hope he stays healthy.

I'm not worried about Josh.. he's got the right mentality and is already a difference maker. Once he figures out his shot, he'll be pretty special. Bender is a big question mark though

I'd consider this a very bad game for Jackson, but even still he had a handful of stunning plays.

Jackson just needs to stop trying to drive when there's nothing there.

Figuring out his shot is a riddle I'm not sure he can solve. He takes bad shots and has a broken jump shot.

Jackson's ceiling will always be dictated by his jumper. I hope he gets its sorted, but that hitch, while lessened is still really ugly. Bridges offers more of a natural fit at the 3 than Josh does next to Booker.

Jackson is 2 fast for SL, he is forcing things.
