This is the kind of thing we need to have the best supporting staff for Walters needs to spend in this area Developing players all around
I don’t know why he is playing summer league. He was averaging 15/5 with 2 stocks in 20 mins in the g league. He showed he can defend and rebound in the nba last season, feel like he should be working with staff and not so much in G league which is terrible for players like him that need structure.
It was pretty obvious why he was playing in SL yesterday, lol. He had a better second half, and I'm of the opinion, he needs to play as much as possible. At the very least, the 2nd half was a little better & he's healthy.
yeah, if you listen to the coaches and players talk about these games, they almost treat them more like shell drills, just with opponents (i think this is part of why you see the sloppy live ball turnovers from guards--we're running the offense no matter what they do, dammit!). thiero's gotten a lot of those reps with better players and opponents.
Summer league is terrible for him. We got some bald 40 year old guy playing PG that can’t set the table. Why do we have Adou trying to create from the perimeter with some weird funky drives. He won’t be doing that in an NBA game probably ever. We need him just working on his outside shot, d’ing up and cutting/getting into transition. The lack of structure in summer league sucks for him.
Yeah, well, that's most of SL. It's tough to watch. Our teams usually suck. He's raw and needs the time to develop. Summer league, training camp, maybe he contributes to the G-League a bit, these are just the developmental steps he needs to go through, IMO. He's extremely raw. Hell, he may need another year of development before he gets real playing time.
