Dwight Buycks is no joke

[Balls of Steel]

Why are we in love with this guy so fast and right away? Let's all calm down.

Is it just me, or is Ujiri planning on trading Lowry, and having Buycks be the starter with Augustin coming off the bench.

I don`t think Ujiri is planning to trade Lowry although he`ll be open to it if a good offer comes along. Even if he (Lowry) is traded, there`s no way IMO they`ll go into the the season with Buycks as the starting PG. At least not yet. Too risky.

[Eric Akshinthala]

I`m impressed by Buycks too. Some players have graduated from lesser leagues and made it in the NBA and I hope Buycks does it too,

As of now he`s the back up PG if I understand correctly. Apparently it was on that condition that he signed. So it`s his job to lose.

Raps. it seems, lucked out with Augustin. They got a back up PG who to play 3rd string.

Buycks for MVP!!!

I'm mostly joking, but if there's a deal to be had for lowry, I would totally start buycks over Augustin.

That probably means we're choosing development of young players over win now, so why not start the young guy and see what he's got verus the older guy who is probably very close to his ceiling.

Buycks was impressive alright but right now he's the Raps 3rd string PG. We'll see what he's made of come training camp when he compete against NBA players.

Agreed. For now, he's still a 3rd string point guard. As much as I don't like Augustin, I still feel more comfortable having him as our backup point guard FOR NOW since he has actual NBA experience over Buycks. At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if Buycks eventually takes over Augustin's minutes some time in the middle of the season...

I like Buycks a lot too. Sure, it's summer league, but it's rare to see a player in complete control at ALL times during summer league. He handled the offense like a artist and I can't think of a single guard that could stay in front of him. Can't wait to see what he can do in the pros.

I wouldn't say he was 100% in control of the offense since there were multiple times where he make a pass that lead to a turnover, but I agree. He definitely impressed in Summer League and has intrigued me as to how he will pan out in the NBA...

He will get 10 minutes a month of playing time. Might be dropped by December.

You don't have to believe me. But, Joey Graham was the king of summer league..

2 out of every 5 games Joey G actually did something that made you think he could be really good. I hope this kid isn't a tease like that; either he brings it or he's dumped quickly.

That was a very weird meme..

[Hotshot]

if anyone watched the summer league game between the Suns and the Raps, I am sold on Dwight Buycks. He is lightening quick and is reminiscent of TJ Ford. He tore it up against the suns today. Stays with his man on D and that speed is just ridiculous. Yeah yeah, it's summer league, but c'mon, someone share my excitement at a guy who can be a legit backup for Kyle Lowry. I think he has waaay more potential than DJ Augustin.

PS: Quincy Acy is the man. I always knew he was going to be one of the favourites the moment he played for the raps. He hussles every single play and gets super emotional, which is what I think this team needs. He got hyped up and thug life in the game today like 7 times. I thought him and those Morris twins were going to throw down today. That's wsuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.
