Couldn't watch because I was driving, but can anyone that watched summarize Craft's showing today? Searched twitter and looked at the box score. Seemed like the typical Craft stuff. Didn't score much but sounded like he locked down Oladipo when he actually got on the court.

You basically described it perfectly

Nick Johnson just absolutely dunked all over a Piston.

Anyone get to see Nick Johnson play today? That dunk looked sweet but I'm not sure he has a skill set that will keep him in the league. Hope he finds a way to hang around though. Was fun to watch at Arizona.

I watched Josh Selby absolutely dominate the summer league a few years ago and has yet to see any actual NBA minutes. I won't put too much stock into these sort of things.

Yeah I don't. I just like seeing some of these guys try to play their way onto a NBA roster.

ETA: Is Selby still with Memphis?

No and I have no idea where he is. Probably overseas somewhere.

Last played in Croatia and China before that but pretty sure he's just chilling in America now. He played in that weird like streetball esque pro am tournament that just happened.

How did Wilbekin look for the Grizz? I feel like every team could use an elite on-ball defender PG coming off the bench.

Didn't do much scoring, but he made some great passes and played some very good defense. I think he ended up with around 7 assists.

He ran the team very well.

He was the 3rd PG to play for them today, so he didn't get a ton of PT. I assume he will play a bit more in the games coming up.

I think Wilbekin was clearly the best of the three PGs Memphis played today.

Agreed. The offense just flowed a lot better with him out there. IIRC they went on their big run when he came into the game.

I'm kinda surprised we never see anyone get in trouble during summer league. A bunch of guys that just got paid in their early 20s in Vegas.
I was talking with Trey Burke's agent and he said it's his least favorite couple weeks of the year

Well the majority of those guys are either looking for a spot on an NBA roster, looking to gain more playing time on their NBA team or are rookies that haven't even played a game.

It's actually a perfect combination of players because they all know how much it would hurt their careers

Correction: I just saw Josh Howard was on the Pelicans roster. Expect a story or two soon

Josh Howard
He might be setting a record for oldest summer league player

I thought I was going to get you because Brian Cook is on the Pistons squad, but Howard is actually older than him
