Josh Jackson stinking it up in his second Summer League stands out as a real gut punch moment for me as a fan.

I haven't been this excited about the Summer Suns since Amare I don't think. I remember going to Vegas for Josh Jackson's debut and it was very underwhelming as was his career.
I wonder if there are any archived footage of Amare in summer league.

I also had the privilege of seeing Amare in the Pro-Am in Huntington Beach, I think it was, his rookie year. I'm pretty sure Bo Outlaw played in that as well.

What say you, @Flagrant Fowl?

Phoenix Suns Invite Oregon Ducks' Brandon Angel To NBA Summer League Roster
The Phoenix Suns have added former Oregon Ducks forward Brandon Angel to their NBA Summer League roster, joining Houston Rockets center N'Faly Dante, Brooklyn Nets wing TJ Bamba, and Portland Trail Blazers guard Keeshawn Barthelemy as former Ducks in the showcase.

Glue guy and pretty smart on the court. Middling athleticism. Probably won't have a substantial NBA career.

Not to mention the body language that made it clear he thought he was better than SL and didn't take it seriously.

I'll know tomorrow how excited or depressed to be about the future of the Suns.

It's not about stats at all, you can tell very quickly who's got "it" and who doesn't.

When it comes to the guys who're guaranteed NBA players, it's all about effort in SL. The box score is mostly irrelevant.

Alarm bells should be going off anytime one of those players disappears from the game physically or mentally.

It's a little weird having so much size, talent, and depth in the frontcourt on the SL team.

Ryan Nemhard looks great out there. Really sad we missed out on getting him as a UDFA.
Go Suns!

Carter Bryant with 4 blocks int he first half. He is going to be a solid pro if his shot is legit.

I remember I was waking up at around 3AM just to watch Josh Jackson that July at Vegas Summer League, Bone.

We certainly had a sky roof high expectations of him. Ah well.
