I'm reading about some of these players who participated in summer league play and now I'm asking myself,why,most of these rookies and journey men are going to flame out ,once the real season starts. Every year you have 5 or six rookies that play well the other 50 wet there pants because the competition is so fantastic,nothing they ever seen at the AAU tournament,or even the NCAA tournament, Bayless scoring at will ,in a summer league game , well he SHOULD BE BLOWING UP against NBA scrubs,d-league players,rappers,didn't R.Kelly play in a summer league back in the day I know he played in one of them summer leagues, ,this isn't really news ,there are players in every city ,in the parks who can compete in the summer league ,it isn't a diss,it's the truth.Harold Minor ,Walter Berry ,Ed O Bannon were good players in the summer leagues.Now the story is when a player can't handle the summer league and he's a top pick THATS NEWS.O.J. Mayo having a good week ,well he looks like he's going to be a decent pro he been going pro since 7th grade,but can't judge him going against Joe Dleaguer,lets see how he guards Iverson,or CP3 ,thats Chris Paul for those out there who don't know who I'm talking about.
I didn't allow myself to finish the articles because reading about Kevin Love looking great in summer league games, just doesn't do much for me,I''LL wait for him to compete against the Duncans of the worlds,then if he holds up well then ILL be impressed,he should dominate journey men and marginal players, now MCHALE is happy and rightfully so,it's his neck on the line ,then again not really he has become the Eligin Baylor of GMS.You know the guy who stinks it up every year but keeps his job anyway ,we know guys like that working at the post office,welfare office,corporate America,you ask your self how does he stay employed he stinks.MCHALE couldn't figure out how to get over the hump with Kevin Garnet in tow,he kept drafting bums and making terrible trades ,but he still makes 7 figures and lets not forget the Joe Smith debacle that cost the organization draft picks and fines.By the way couldn't he see Joe Smith was going to be nothing more than average i saw that in his one year in college.Him drooling over Joe Smith,that was funny,then he got suckered by his buddy and teammate Danny Ainge,some players aren't good gms,ala Mike Jordan,Paxson in Chicago,Zeke,and I'm waiting on Kerr in Phoenix
Dude we've already read about the summer league. We don't need to read about someone that read about the Summer League. Get the NBA channel where you can actually watch the games. Centers and forwards are the only ones that tear it up their rookie season because the NBA is so difficult shot selection is something you learn from experience and these rookies are used to be playing with and against guys that are just as good or better then they are. Most of them are 19 and you can't literally cause a storm on a computer so why say you can.
Your a real cocky #### aint ya? Isnt it obvious why Avery Johnson is unemployed... for those that dont know what I am talking about ;P.... he is still getting paid by the Mavericks, until he takes a job. So he can take a year off with pay ah lah Mark Cuban and come back when he wants. Once he gets a new job Cuban doesnt have to pay him anymore, if he gets one before his contract expires.
wrzit,do you think avery wants to sit home,and do nothing,either way he gets paid ,i don't believe he was offered another job,i guess a recycled Larry Brown is a great choice,or Terry Porter is more worthy,and blackballer most the centers in the league stink ,and most rookies stink it up because like i said an you said the rookies are young and not ready
The Storm
Allegedly it gives these kids a chance to hone up on their skills. Why the hell many of 'em just didn't stay the extra year in college and do that in the first place is really beyond me. At least there they'd be playing and learning something one would've thought at the same time.
But if anything the league asks these kids in many respects to foresake an education for a street paved with gold and good intentions. Not many of them'll last beyond two or three years at best in the league if they're lucky.
