Christmas outplayed Towns head-to-head in summer league, even won the opening tip.... CLEARLY Minnesota picked the wrong guy #1
In all seriousness, I'm a little disappointed/surprised at Christmas' rebounding. I thought he'd be better than that. Although, he's a much better offensive player when he has someone that can actually get him touches in decent spots rather than trying to force his offense like he did in the 1-9 game. His hook shot looks nice and I'm still intrigued by his jumper (I'd love to see him shooting open jumpers he'd get off of setting picks for LBJ or KI).
I have no idea what's up with Joe Harris, he's better than this.... He better wake up by training camp.

^ Christmas looks okay. I almost wish Montrezl Harrell fell a few more spots and Cleveland could have taken him with the #36 pick. While Harrell is a few inches short; his motor, super long wingspan and relentless attitude are quite nice for a second round pick. He just attacks way better than Christmas. But I think Christmas has good height and some defense, so yeah.
Alan Williams has looked very solid as well as Montrezl for the Rockets.

How a game with James in attendance is not live on tv is beyond me, but with that being said it aired on national television this morning and it was another Cavs comeback. Summer league is officially over for that squad and I would have liked to see more from Christmas to be honest, Pointer showed me something. I am still out on Christmas.
Christmas has no motor and moves like a slow dinosaur. He can jump high but it takes forever for him to move or jump.
Towns is overrated. He's also a foul machine and moves like a slow dinosaur.

Towns will be fine once is a system and around nba guards. It will be interesting to see if wiggins cn become a playmaker and find him when he drives. Wig was a black hole last year but it was excusable given the roster
Christmas is incredibly slow at giving a second effort. He has a noticeable lag between recognised using if he first contest has worked and getting in position to secure the ball

I just watched The ESPN video of the Summer League finals. You know what? I thought the media was going to make too big of a deal about Becky Hammons winning a meaningless championship. I told myself that this is clearly a publicity stunt... but you know what? It's actually cool as shit when you watch these petulant young pro athletes totally buy into her time outs. I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime because (don't tell anyone) most dudes I know who had a Division 1 scholarship were total misogynists. Maybe I'm showing my age and college athletes have changed, but I really never thought I'd see a woman lead guys in their early 20s as a head coach. More power to Popovich, the best basketball coach I've seen in my lifetime.

There's that phrase 'winning cures all' the spurs are a generation of winners and anything they want to do they can get players to believe in. I'm sure it would have been successful with any woman as the coach, luckily they chose Hammon who looks to be a great coach, she did a great job.

Some of these guys probably have no problem with it and it just feels like coaching. Others probably have smart agents who remind them that not only are the Spurs judging them on how they play, but how they respond to the coaching and leadership of the person they put in charge of the summer league team.
Trying to earn your way on to the roster of one of the classiest and winningest franchises in the modern NBA you had better buy in and follow whatever they ask of you.
Definitely think it's a cool story and to anyone who is sick of it because the media coverage, tune that shit out. This has nothing to do with hype and everything to do with Popovich feeling like Hammons had earned that right to have that opportunity.

The agents of the guards who played for the Cleveland Summer League team must be mutes, or perhaps Brett Brielmeier was less attractive in a pink sash.
