Matkovic has played much better.

LOL. I type that and then he misses a bunny.

all he had to do was go up and dunk it or lay it in... instead decides to go with the bunny hook for whatever reason and it pops out

He’s the best player on the court but he needs to continue to work on his offensive initiation and scoring.


Agree he’s the best player on the court. This is a particularly weak summer league game. I’m not sure anyone else on either team besides dyson really figures to get significant minutes this year. Hawkins I assume will be a strictly garbage time player for the Pels most of the season with maybe a stint in the g league.

And even dyson has to be minimally competent scoring the ball to feature in a healthy Pels rotation.

Karlo needs to get stronger. He has lost way too many battles where he's in good position but comes up empty handed.

Hawk is definitely in an adjustment period right now, but I will admit nothing we have seen from him jumps out yet through 3 games

Dyson hasn't been afraid to mix it up right at the rim

This might be one of the worst SL games I’ve ever seen from someone

A positive tho. It can’t get much worse

I legit don’t think it’s even close for me. Hawkins didn’t belong on a summer league court

You can tell he's in his head right now .. making dumb mistakes like traveling and missing free throws because he's stressing about his 3Pt%

Hopefully Willie is smart enough to calm him down before he goes into full blown Dyson panic mode and is afraid to shoot

I think Hawk knows if he’s not shooting, he’s out of the league. Dysons better at other things than shooting. That’s all hawk has

The difference is dyson can do things like defend, pass and rebound which Hawkins can’t. I dont see it at all with Hawkins. Hopefully we can package him in a trade at the deadline before the rest of the league figures it out

Yeah, my main takeaways from SL right now are:

1) Dyson is bigger, stronger, and is going to have a bigger role this coming season,

2) Hawkins doesn't look like he's going to compete for minutes for a while,

3) Seabron is improved but still looks like a 2-way, though I can see him getting a regular deal after another year, and

4) Matkovic definitely needs another year in Europe before even being a last-off-the-bench big.

Pretty much my exact take aways
