Suns open Las Vegas Summer League August 8th, 2021

[Muggz]

Tyrique Jones a C/F prospect will be an intriguing summer league player to keep an eye on.

Although undrafted in 2020 he is certainly not short on athletic talent.

I like him, get him on a plane he can have Dario's bag. 300k top salary for pro ball over seas. I think we can lure him.
Wowwee! When he dunks the ball his hand actually touches the rim, Its been sooo long im gonna need a min.
Do it
Do it

@Folster knows another leaper as well. We can add a couple of two-way contracts.

Tyler Cook. I read he will be on the Piston's summer league team.

Look this guy averaged 6 points a game in the German league.

I'm pretty sure he is not better than Jalen Smith.

You can make a decent highlight reel out of almost any player.

Pretty sure you got the wrong guy, he never played in Germany.
Korea and Israel
14pt 11 rb +++
And yes he's better than Stix. ATM

I really doubt he's better than Stix.

Jonathan Motley averaged like 23 points a game in the g-league and he looked like dog crap in the NBA. Heck Jimmy Fredete or whatever his name was averaged like 37 a game in china.

You can literally tell almost nothing about how he will perform from his international performance.

I'm watching the California Classic summer league.

Omer Yurtseven, a 7-footer, is signed to a 2 year, $3.5 million contract by Heat.

They are so good at finding talent.

Miami Heat ink Omer Yurtseven to two-year deal

Summer League sensation Yurtseven brings more size to the Heat bench.

Monty's message to Jalen Smith. "Go hoop."

[JCSunsfan]

that would make him 6’8.5

Yep. Googled 2.05 m to feet and got 6.72 feet. 12 inches in a foot, not 10. Duh. Moving along.

Summer Suns arrive in Las Vegas.

Barkley was 6'6 in shoes on his very best day. If we had Chuck today it would be over.
I don't care how tall the player is, if he can hold down that PF spot and add offense i'm in. I don't even care if he has feet.

but Barkley is pretty much a once in a lifetime player there’s never really been anyone like him.

 

[Phrazbit]

but Barkley is pretty much a once in a lifetime player there’s never really been anyone like him.

Obviously, no player is a mirror of another, but if I were to compare a modern player to Barkley, it would be Zion Williamson. A "undersized" big with freakish athletic ability and length, who isn't exactly stellar on defense.

Barkley was more durable and a much better rebounder, but to be fair to Zion, Barkley was still in college when he was the same age as Zion now.

Honorable mention to Larry Johnson (AKA Grandmama) he was a poor man's Barkley in his age.

 

[leclerc]

Larry Johnson was promising before his back gave out. That's the problem with too much muscle and explosiveness ala Zion. It takes a toll on all parts of their bodies. Especially ankle, knees and back.

 

[Bobster]

Gus Johnson was a 6'6" 230 lb. forward in the 60's for the Bullets who I might compare to Barkley - he wasn't nearly as good (he was a 5-time all-star), but was athletic and a great rebounder for his size.


He's also the guy who had his shoulder dislocated when he tried to dunk over Wilt and Wilt blocked his shot.

Before there was YouTube, there was Wilt

The moment doesn't exist in photo or film, but surely it does exist.The Baltimore Sun on Nov. 26, 1966, recounted the powerful blow the day after it occurred, in a 129-115 victory by Chamberlain's Philadelphia 76ers over Johnson's Baltimore Bullets in Baltimore.

Wilt was freakishly strong. Most of the NBA was scared of him.

I have to say I am really excited to see the nature of our summer league roster being mostly European professionals. After watching the Olympics, you can see there are some good players in these European leagues.

Of the foreign players I'm particularly interested in Tyrique Jones and Jaleen Smith.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty Williams is in attendance for the upcoming Suns-Lakers game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Luka Garza (C) looking good for the Pistons especially for the 52nd pick in 2021 draft.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tre Mann (PG) drafted 18th is super quick and athletic for OKC but having trouble with his shot.

 

[Mainstreet]

The announcers say Chris Paul is there as well in addition to Monty.

 

[Mainstreet]

Here are the Suns starters for tonight's game.
