    Did you know that no team has ever won summer league and gone on to win the championship? I suppose it has something to do with good teams selecting so low in the draft. But I’m happy not to win it haha!

    Adou is out of control and needs to slow it down a tick. Lots of effort and hustle

    Kaluma has some skills and looks like we should find a way to keep him

    Carr is smooth with a nice shot and can create

    All of them need to work on FTs

    I'm surprised that so many players have trouble with FTs

    Adou seems to think he can take his dribble and big a** body through the tiniest spaces. :D On the plus side what a lob threat though with his hops and those huge mitts on the ends of his arms …. and he hit another 3 plus has nice FT form and often nothing but net. He’ll be in the rotation this year for sure. Hope our player development guys areas good as Handy was for us …. big shoes to fill there.

    Playing with the regular crew he won't have to try to do so much.

    These guys were very entertaining. Manon and Adou had some bad turnovers down the stretch. Not concerned because they won’t have to carry that kind of load on the parent club.

    Manon looks good doesn’t he on that 2-way / maybe a future spot. Someone remarked a few days ago it looked like the coaching staff told him to push it more on offense to score and he’s looked better there as the tournament has gone on. Very good and heady on D. And anticipation and play making.

    Adou too with the many different “types” of glimpses he shows us out there. They’re spectacular at times. Has hit a couple 3s and his FT stroke is nice and swishes most of them. Wow on his lob capabilities!!
