I didn't get to watch, but from what I've read
* Lance Thomas was the best and probably is a roster lock
* Jerome Dyson didn't do so great although he had injury issues
* Brian Roberts was consistently productive
* Xavier Henry was just ok
* Darius Miller was ok on defense, not good on offense and the team wanted him to rebound better
* Austin Rivers has a long way to go to be the starting PG

Yeah but he only played 2 games and he did improve from the 1st to 2nd games.

he got better in each game after apparently showing up to camp completely out of shape (according to Monty last night). he played really well last night. his jumper is still lacking, but he's a big bodied 2/3 combo player and he's been getting to the foul line a lot more. that's all great news. he's going to get better as long as he continues to put forth the effort he's shown the past few days.

he's going to need some more PT before he can prove anything first
if he's the starting PG next year, ill be happy with that. any contribution he can make this year is just fine. I don't expect him to be starting anytime during the first half of the year.

Rivers was disappointing in his two games. shot poorly. and ya, that means nothing about his future.
Miller was disappointing. was not very aggressive. missed shots. had some nice defensive moments though
Henry knocked down his free throws. still didn't shoot very well. He looked heavier.
Thomas looked pretty good. constant hustle. improved jump shot. had some nice pump fakes and drives to the basket. He was being a leader. I agree that he will make the roster.
Roberts outplayed Dyson.
Bowles started very strong. He rebounded very well out there and blocked some shots. It seems like he has a pretty nice jumper. He seemed a little bit out of shape also.

Dyson looked bad. Does Roberts have a chance to make the roster? I really like his game.

I think Monty's interview last night brought some interesting news that changed my perspective of Miller's performance in Summer League. Said Darius has been battling an injured hamstring. Another concerning thing he said, was that X came in out of shape and had to work himself into it through the week. Now X did look better by the end of the week, but thats troublesome since they are now going back out on there own for awhile.

I'd have to think Roberts did enough to get himself an invite to training camp. I hate to use buzzwords, but the term crafty certainly fits his game.
