    Real big ballers organize dice shooting in back alleys or in hotel rooms for the high stake rolls.

    Jud Buechler packing for 2 weeks. His plan is to win the Summer League championship. Mentions a change in Ingram's shot and the pressure that Ball will face playing in front of 14,000 fans (I promise you, 90% are Laker fans). The other Vegas summer league games get about half that number.

    Good interview.

    I like his demeanor, he seems like a players coach with a let's get down to business attitude. Hoping for a summer league title, but more importantly is everyone being healthy going into the pre season to the regular season.

    Don't sleep on my boy Kuzma. This dude will be the BIGGEST steal in the draft 3 years from now.

    I haven't bothered to watch any highlights or research any of our picks except seeing some Ball stuff ahead of time. I'll let them show me on the court and then decide if they are gif worthy.

    Gots to have standards. I have zero expectations of anyone but Ball, and therefore I cannot be let down.

    Good for you - from Twitter, forums, and other Ball fans, he is Magic. So, if you watch Magic play, it will be like watching Ball.

    this rookie class is looking pretty good already from summer league gms thus far, Tatum/Fultz living up to the their draft position, lets see what Ball/Jackson/Fox got. Only weak showing thus far is Issac, sorta didn't do much with his time but man I looking forward to Ball vs Fox and Ingram vs the likes of Tatum/Jackson.

    I thought Isaac looked pretty good too. He's not as developed as the others, but he was active. One of the major complaints about Isaac in college was that he lacked aggression and that'll be one of his issues now too while he still gains his NBA legs.

    As long as I don't feel the need to make pictures like this any longer, it's all good.

    I see the same thing your seeing when it comes to his fire to improve. Take off all the talent and just look at what each player is made of in the head and heart. Tatum has a bright future.

    Watching the game last night it was cool to learn that his mom has kept every ticket stub of every game her son has played in. She said she only missed one USA game because of plane issues but still watched the entire game on her ipad. Close family.

    I didn't know anything about Tatum's game even going into the draft because I know we weren't going that route, but I can see the Melo comparison in how they like to attack and score the ball. Maybe not physically similar but play type/style yes.

    I was planning on going but pulled out at last minute. Family coming down to San Diego though on Saturday so that will be fun and not a total loss

    I think Tatum is going to be solid. I remember being corrected by abeer about the comp when I said Gay, he's not nearly as athletic. Tatum is more like Granger. They're both rangy and long, but not necessarily that next level type of leaper, crafty. Another comparison was Paul Pierce with the way Tatum can score on angles. Tatum has a really nifty lean to his shot that lets him get over defenders with his size and length. I like him. Boston said they'd take him first, I'm not sure he's the first pick, but he's solid.
