Cameron Carr in his second Summer League Game: 26 PTS 8 REBS 1 AST (1 TO) on 7-16 FG 4-9 3PT 4-5 FT. Overtime vs the Miami Heat
Before y'all overreact to one game
Now that we have landing spots, which players do you now think higher of due to their situation? Who are you less excited about now because you're worried about their development?
Christian Anderson: I'm more bought in now that he has a clear pathway to being their long term starting PG. His pathways to getting valuable reps is pretty open, which makes me feel way better about him developing to cover his weaknesses.
Ebuka Okorie: On the flip side, I'm sad Ebuka didn't go somewhere with as clear a path. I now fear he'll be behind Cade forever and be developed as a backup rather than considered a future star (unless they decide to play them together.)
Morez Johnson Jr.: getting taken so early makes me think the mavs see him as a foundational peice with perhaps a higher ceiling than I'd personally imagined.
Philon: this makes me sad, don't know if he'll ever get starting reps through maxey and edgecomb
Cam Carr: extra bullish, being such a good cutter and playing with Luka makes me think he'll get to shine his strengths and get big minutes earlier.
Cenac Jr.: I was out, now I'm back in. I trust their development staff.
Thoughts on how the 2026 landing spots will affect future outcome likelihoods?
Watching Cam Boozer yesterday he looks way leaner than he did at Duke. He's moving a bit faster and looks less stiff with the ball in his hands. This is honestly how I expected him to look coming out of high school. The best part is he didn't seem weaker even though he might have lost some weight.
this dude is gonna be a superstar and i think the wizards should have taken him 1 OVR. they don’t even have a young star guard but plenty of wings. honestly a head scratcher to me. jazz fans gotta be cheesing rn
edits: redditors are so lame bro. the entire point of this sub is to be EARLY not CORRECT. jfc
A good game but the turnovers irked me a bit. He'll have to work on it but it was overall a GOOD showing.
Feel like this game was the perfect DP experience, truly ridiculous scoring talent from all levels but also 2 assists to 8 turnovers (Including a bad one in the clutch)
Also on the other side was Kingston’s Flemings. Bad interior scoring efficiency but with 40% from 3, 9:1 AST/TO and 4 steals he showed his all around game
Totally overreacting to summer league game one but that was such an incredible performance and I think there’s a real conversation to be had.
Honestly, was really impressed with Kingston. Wasn’t the greatest shooting night (4-16). Cold to start the game but got better in the second half. Great playmaking, positive TO economy, pretty good defense in moments, and was clutch in the end. Stole the ball from Peterson and in the very next possession almost tied the game in overtime but had a toe on the 3 pt line. Looked really comfortable as a lead guard.
Rough game from Acuff in terms of scoring efficiency. He did assist on the game winner though
Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic are starting to affect their home countries basketball development
Now, Slovenia will finally have a lottery pick in Joksimovic next year. Most mock have him Top 5 or Top 10 kn 2027 draft.
Serbia on the other hand will also have another lottery pick in Nikola Kusturica. He is a projected top 5 draftee as well.But in 2028 Nba draft.
But who do you think is the better nba prospect right now?
His passing, shooting, and footwork are looking extremely good right now. His body also looks fantastic and is moving really well around the court. Can't wait to see how DP looks next game.
