NBA Summer League Las Vegas Thread VOL. Sacramento Kings Depending Champs!

[8pm at msg]

I think Russell will be fine. Might need to work on a mid range pull-up near the elbow for when he can't get all the way to the rim....and like some of y'all said a lil Manu/Harden type craftiness wouldn't hurt either.

There is no point in playing Clarkson anymore. They're just asking for an injury tbh, he has nothing to prove or learn in these games

Only thing I'd like to see more from Clarkson is creating for others, but the offense is so unproductive he has to create for himself when he gets the ball with under 10 seconds left on the shot clock.

He's is too good to come off the bench. I'd go with...

Clarkson
Russell
Kobe
Bass
Hibbert

Byron said it was an open competition for starting PF on Friday night between Randle and Bass, but he alluded to Bass coming off the bench last night.

I remember dudes saying Clarkson is a good backup and Russell will start over him.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It's crazy how both Clarkson and Russell can play either guard position, so much versatility and size. I wonder what that fool Byron Scott does offensively 

I don't want to overrate them though, just pointing out that they are fully interchangeable 

 

[awwsome]

Byron gotta go man, it's a joke having him as a coach in 2015.

 

[dat dude chris]

Pierre Jackson looked good last night from what I saw. Good to see him back

 

[ballinsam23]

Cant start 2 rookies right away imo. I'd go with Bass. But I agree, Byron is not the right coach for this team.

Agreed. I love their versatility and the way they complement each other. Sort of remind me of Isiah and Dumars in that regard.

No way that was said this summer...

Yea I hope not

 

[EddieDoyers]

If Kobe retired just now, Clarkson would be at the 2 and Russell would be at the 1.

That ain't happening though, so I think Clarkson going to be starting at the 1.

Still think summer league performance is predictive?

 

[pmatic]

It's Hibbert, Randle/Bass, Kobe, Clarkson and Russell opening night.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I think most people are pessimistic when it comes to summer league

"He dropped 30? It was summer league though..."

Looks like LaQuinton Ross was added to Wizards roster after injuries. He wasn't on the roster the team released previously.
