McDonough joining broadcast after the next break.

Bender having a rough half.

These refs are being dicks to Bender, seriously. Last 2 fouls have been bullshit.

Summer League refs are horrible. Which makes sense cause NBA Refs are the worst of any professional sport.

Can you foul out in summer league? Bender has been called for 4 PF already.

Seems like he's having trouble with speed of the game, particularly on D.

Takes 10 I think.

Easy to see why Chriss always got into foul trouble in College. Always is trailing his defender and relies on the trailing block.

McDonough: "Jared Dudley is likely to be our starting Power Forward opening night."

Correct.

Kuric is such a great story. Too bad we don't have room for him.

Bender is being a little passive on the offensive end. He is catching it up top and just passing it on even with his guy right up on him. Would like to see him put it on the floor instead of just looking to pass.

Damn if Chriss would have finished that....

Ulis with 8 pts, 4 ast, 4 stls in the first half.

Chriss 7 points and 8 rebounds.

He's definitely not flying around the court like he was yesterday.

Tyler Ulis - yeesh. Don't think there's any way he can defend this well against NBA rotation PGs - because right now, he's a terror.

Ulis strips Jaylen Brown to end the half. Great firt half by him. Thought Chriss played pretty well too although again, athletically its all there, Bball IQ and just Bball positioning it isn't at all. Bender had a terrible half. That had him covering Brown a few other speedy 2/3's...he struggled with that.

He's got a slow release he's going to have to work on. He got blocked in the first game too.

These J.A. Adonde questions to Bender are cringeworthy. Bender was like "Wtf" numerous times, haha.

Chriss really has no offensive game. He's so athletic though, I can see him getting his points his first few yrs off of put backs and lobs. Ala Matrix.
