    Although, always have to keep in mind; Summer League doesn't tell you who can play. Only tells you who can't.
    Right - Enes Kanter had a bad game yesterday. Anyone remember him?

      Anyone see Nicholson show up today for Orlando? 24 points and a nasty block. How good do you guys think he can be in the NBA?
      Kid's got some talent for sure. If he can be consistent, he could be somewhere in the top10 of next years rookie ladders. Lots of minutes up for grabs for forwards in Orlando.

        There are certain things you know will translate.

        Nicholson likely won't be 20/10/2 in his first year.

        His foot work...that baby hook, 15-18ft...and rebounding could easily translate to

        maybe 10pts 7boards and a block in his rookie year.

          My optimistic hope for Acy....becoming another Faried....similar physical measurements, skills (rebounding priority), motor. As we know rebounding is a skill most transferable to the next level and Faried has done this very well in Denver where he became a favorite and starter for George Karl. Fingers crossed...Acy duplicates this in TO.
          I remember when I call faried name before the draft people thought I was crazy then nene got traded halfway throught the season lol.

          Nicholson looked real good yesterday on Orlando, really good.

              Interesting that you mentioned the rookie ladder because I was thinking that unlike previous years this years should shift quite a bit each wek. There was so much talent in this years draft.

                I'm excited for the Raptor' first game this Friday!

                Terrence Ross, Quincy Acy, Jeremy Lamb, Royce White, Terrence Jones all in one game? Hmmmm.

                I really do hope Toronto dominates this year's summer league like we did two seasons ago, Demar and Sonny went OFF.

                Does anyone know the full team roster of this year's Summer League? I'm curious to know if Derozan will be part of it.

                  What? Really? Why didn't we pick him then?

                      Andre Drummond scored just 3pts and grabed just 3rebounds against the magic in the summer league. I knew he was raw, but had no idea THAT he was that raw

                        He had a decent game vs. Utah. He is a weird player. He can hit a stepback mid range jumpshot but then shoots 20% from the freethrow line.

                        He is a really big project, but he is physically dominant. He controlled the Utah bigs unbelievably well. He is one of those guys, I think gets scrutinized throughout the first 2 or 3 years of his career, then begins to slowly play to his potential.

                            It will be interesting to see how this team fares without Demar.. It would appear that we don't really have a take-the-game-over type scorer on this roster. Which brings me to point two.. This is a great opportunity to see how Terrence Ross fares as a scorer. I'm pumped!
                            Also, it will be interesting to see how Ed does. If Acy out-hustles him and out-plays him this summer part of me wont really be surprised. I know the league hasn't even started yet, but Ed just strikes me as the guy who just needs a change of scenery.

                              Uzoh is going to tear it up.

                                Rodney Carney? Is he out of college or has he played in the NBA before? Name sounds familiar.
