One thing I think that does translate from Summer League though is defense, and that's what I'm primarily going to be watching for with Bebe and NoNo (just made that up lol)

Everyone says this guy or that is like a sponge, it's as generic a line to describe a young player as it is to say he's a student of the game, or is a gym rat. We have no knowledge of this guys game, work ethic or character than what we are hearing from 3rd parties right now, so I hope people don't set unreal expectations for him. I'm already hearing things on the forum about he's passes Feilds on the depth chart, and how he's going to give Randle problems in tonights game. I hope this could be the case, but I don't want to get carried away with an idea of what his game is until I've seen him play some NBA ball first.
Don't get me wrong, I hope when they say he's absorbing stuff really well and picking everything up really quickly and it's not just the company line, but I'd like to see the proof on the court before I belive the hype myself."Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

Pretty much tells you that horrid SL performances doesn't predict future success. If Bruno/Bebe play terribly, don't sweat it.The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

I'm more interested in seeing what skills he possesses. Does he have some idea how to guard his yard. Does he use his length to his advantage. Is he afraid to shoot? How are his handles. Court vision. Motor and aggression. I could care less what his stat line ends up being, I just want to see what the scouts saw
edit: In terms of summer league I think that is really the only thing you can take away from it. It's an extended workout against hungry competitionFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

*Basically no one should have any expectations at all about Bruno. If he shows anything, that's awesome because we know he already has something to work with, but if not, it doesn't mean anything.Last edited by white men can't jump; Fri Jul 11, 2014, 12:25 PM.

My only hopes are that he is coordinated, has a smooth gait when he runs, boxes out, has a solid/proper chest pass, is active at defense and good form on his shot. He could miss every shot as far as I'm concerned.Last edited by blackjitsu; Fri Jul 11, 2014, 03:07 PM.
