    I thought he looked good. Frankly he is too good to be playing in Summer League. I thought he looked much better than Tatum or Brown personally.

    He did exactly what he was supposed to against this sort of competition. I'm not ready to say he's a superstar, but he is on the right track. Good to see him doing so well out there. I liked 1st quarter Ingram more than 2-4th quarter Ingram, but honestly he shouldn't really play. Play him for the 1st half or so and then let him be a coach.

    I don't think calling someone we carefully drafted as a mistake qualifies for any of the above.

    If Kuzma's an honest 6'9" as seems to be on everyone's charts, BI looked taller than him last night. Seems still growing. :clap: :clap: :clap:

    BI to Ben Simmons .... "hold my beer"

    I'd prefer PG at 2 and Ingram at 3. With Ball at 1, we'd have a height advantage of 2-3 inches at every one of those positions. And it's no secret that I'm the biggest fan of Julius at 4. He'd provide physicality banging down low (which I think is undervalued) grabbing rebounds which is invaluable for the new Showtime.

    I respect that.

    I love a PG and Ingram, though. Count me in!

    I think it was a mistake. You may conclude what you wish.

    The dude looks huge. I swear he had bad posture all last year. I am starting to see the Durant comparisons now that his body is developing.

    I'm not sure where the cramp was. Calf? That was my guess. But we all know how much they hurt and he didn't flop around and get his face all contorted though obviously in pain. Very Mamba like.

    Right calf. You can see the trainer trying to stretch it out. When he came down it didn't look good thinking his knee gave out but he never grabbed for it which was the first good sign.

    Good move. Sucks to not see him but what's the point of risking something worse like a tear.

    At least we got a glimpse of BI for the upcoming season.

    wanted to see ingram against boston's young guys, but totally agree to shut him down. he's done with this child's play.

    i think the concern with tatum is that he might not have nba three range. he was a no-brainer top 5 pick, though, by all accounts i saw. as to why la didn't work him out (at least i don't remember it), i have no idea.
