Summer League 2021

[Shabazz]

Ty-Shon is really not showing me much. He doesn't look any different from the rest of these guys I've never heard of.

I disagree. A few bad turnovers, but otherwise he’s looked really good.

[LazarusLong]

Stix 3-10 from the field. Oof ...

[LazarusLong]

Suns team had a bit of a run. Jaleen Smith with 10.

[Superbone]

The announcing crew was just talking about Montyisms. Announcer Jones totally screwed up “happy on the farm” though. He said something like “You’ve got to be happy on the farm.” and said he didn’t get that one.

Mark Jones and Doris Burke have no idea there’s a player out there named Jaleen Smith.

I heard that also from Jones and yelled at the TV. My wife was wondering what the hell I was talking about ...

[LazarusLong]

Stix now with 15 and 11.

[The Bobster]

Score has been stuck at 69-65 for a loooong time.

[Shabazz]

Jaleen went way too early.

The score for the last 4:49 - Lakers 8, Suns 3

[Split T]

I’ve only watched the final 6 minutes…but this roster feels like a disservice to Jalen Smith’s development. Is there a true pg on the team? Reading through here it seems like we struggled all game to get the ball to Jalen. I don’t even care if we win, all I care about is getting Jalen touches and letting him develop, let him try and make plays. No one else on our roster, except Ty-Shon, is an nba player.

Suns team miss 3 of 4 FTs down the stretch

Collapse by the Suns. Stix and Tyshon played decent then just disappeared in the 4th.

Noticed Tyshon just getting burnt by Max McClung who is nowhere close to being an NBA player.

Stix had 15 and 12, but was 5 of 14 from the field, and often hung out on the perimeter on offense.
On a key possession late in the game, he stayed on the three point line and didn't move to the basket to crash the boards after a miss.
Not terrifically impressed with what I saw ...

Tyshon failed to box out Reaves on what turned out to be the winning basket. Oof ...

Well, everybody and their mother (refs, announcers) missed the offensive foul push off by Reaves to leave himself open for the put back. He gave Tyshon a nice shove in the back leading to a wide open rebound and put back for the game winner.

Watching the game right now on dvr. A bunch of Suns starters showed up to watch on the sidelines and cheer on their guys.

I mean this is like everyone's take lol
Bummer

[Flagrant Fowl]

I think James Jones and the staff believe in Jalen Smith. They're not worried about these games, and I don't think they should be.

He has the tools, he just needs the reps (with NBA players). I've seen enough in one game to feel comfortable with giving him a shot at rotation minutes to start the season, so I don't think he has much more to prove in Summer League. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Suns hold him out of some of these games.

[bajanguy008]

This wasn't like Mark Jones
Thought he would figure it out at least by 2nd quarter lol
