Day Three: Summer League Recap
|
Day three had a lot of solid performers, and there were alot of exciting moments, let's take a look at some.
Javaris Crittenton: Looks like he'll be the Lakers PG of the future. He played very good in his debut, he shot 8-15 and scored 18 points, with 2 assist and 2 steals. He threw down a nice dunk and gave the Lakers a big boost. Jordan Farmar: Played very poorly, and he could end up playing behind Crittenton in the future. Jordan had 7 turnovers, shot 1-8 and scored just 5 points. He had 1 assist and 1 steal. His head wasn't in the game at all. Coby Karl: George Karls son played solid in his debut. Shooting 4-7 scoring 10 points. He struggled a little bit defensively, but he played hard in 27 minutes of time. Rodney White: The former top 10 pick, is still trying to shake off the "bust" label he's carrying around. He played solid in 23 minutes of time shooting 4-8 and scoring 12 points with 3 rebounds. He still has to stand out more if he wants to make an NBA roster. Al Thornton: Impressed in his debut. In 31 minutes of time he shot 7-18 and scored 24 points and getting 8 rebounds. He scored using a variety of moves, and he played with alot of energy. He did commit 7 personal fouls though. Jared Jordan: Did what was expected of him. He ran the offense well, setting up teammates. In 26 minutes of time Jared had 5 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assist. Curtis Sumpter: Played very good for just 15 minutes of time. He was 5-8 shooting and had 16 points with 6 rebounds. He played with passion and energy and showed why he was an all-american. If he plays like this all summer, he'll find a spot on an NBA roster. Nikoloz Tskitishvilli: Played well, but we've seen this from him before in previous summers, he has never been consistent. But in 24 minutes of time he shot 5-12 scoring 14 points and getting 7 rebounds and 3 assist. Greg Oden: Was in foul trouble again this game, committing 9. He wasn't effective getting his hot off and had 2 of them slammed back at him. Greg was 6-11 shooting and scored 13 points with 5 rebounds and 4 blocked shots. Although he played better, it's going to take him some time to develop a comfort level. LaMarcus Aldridge: Continued to play well in game 2, almost posting up similar numbers as he did the other day. He shot 7-12, scoring 16 points and getting 11 rebounds with 3 blocked shots. He ran the floor well again, threw down some nice dunks, and hit some shots from 17 feet. Caleb Green: The undraftee continued to show why he belongs on an NBA roster. He shot 6-6 and scored 13 points. He hustled and gave a lot of energy in 15 minutes of time. If he continues to play like this he'll be a nice role player on the Mavs or another NBA team. Yi Jianlian: Started out slow, than got hot. Although he only shot 3-11 from the field, he was 14 of 17 from the free throw line. He finished with 20 points, 4 rebounds and 8 personal fouls. Shannon Brown: Has played outstanding the first two games. He was 11-16 shooting and scored 26 points with 3 assist. He showed a lot of energy, and a player that wanted the ball in his hands. He could be the next player out of summer league to have a great NBA season.

Farmar is garbage. Crittenton should get a majority of the PT,he's already an upgrade from what the Lakers had last year. I pulling for Jared Jordan to make the Clippers I think he would be a solid PG for them, he knows how to run an offense and set up teammates. I'm still pulling for Shaun Livingston to make a recovery, but I belive Jared can hold down the spot for a sea son or two. report abuse

I think Curtis Sumpter will make teams regret for passing him up in the draft. Look what he did in 15 minutes of time. Imagine what he would have done playing 30 minutes. Teams need to overlook the injuries and his weak play during the pre-draft workouts. When it comes to the real competition Curtis holds it down, he is better than many players on NBA teams, and it would be a damn shame if he's not on an NBA roster. report abuse

I have been very impressed by the way LaMarcus Aldridge, Caleb Green and Shannon Browns play so far. It's been tough to watch Greg Oden but I know he will improve as time progresses. I'm looking forward to seeing Al Thornton and Javaris Crittenton play some more and see if they stay consistent with their great playmaking abilities. Yi is solid, but I'm still not sure what to make of him just yet. report abuse

Curtis Sumpter is more mature than most rookies. I'm calling it now - he'll be the undrafted rookie that has the most impact in the NBA this upcoming season. report abuse

For Curtis Sumpter to score 16 points in just 15 minutes, that's awesome. Imagine if he played 30 minutes-- he would have easily had a double-double. Denver should not let him get away. All others will regret they did. report abuse
