Victor Wembanyama played yesterday in Las Vegas. He was awful. Though oddly enough if you just listened to the ESPN broadcast and didn't watch it, you'd think he was having a great debut.
Don't know how many times they mentioned his "handle" and his passing skills. Didn't mention his godawful shooting much.
Wemby admits to learning curve in 9-point debut
Victor Wembanyama didn't dominate, but his nine points, eight rebounds and five blocks helped the Spurs defeat the Hornets 76-68 in his summer league debut.www.espn.com
While I have nothing against Wmeby; nor do I really know anything about him….Victor played again yesterday. Unlike Friday he shot well and looked good. Guess he's a guy playing in his first, and most likely last, Summer League.
You could almost hear the sigh of relief coming from ESPN.

I can’t help but seeing the hype machine be wrong. Its so much better when the stars have the Kawhi, Hiannis, Joker trajectory vs the “annointed one.” The coverage is so much more about the game, skill work, than waxing poetic about how this “one” is the next “….” And the GOAT…. For 20 years.
I watched most of his play Friday night. I disagree on him looking awful. His ability as a rim protector was obvious and had an impact. He was sloppy with the ball and took some bad shots, but it was easy to see why he's so highly regarded. He is an incredibly fluid athlete for his size and flashed a couple of really nice passes. I'd chalk his struggles up to a tough shooting night and a little bit trying to do too much out there. From my eyes it was easy to see where the hype is coming from.Victor Wembanyama played yesterday in Las Vegas. He was awful.

Too bad. I enjoyed watching him.LAS VEGAS -- Victor Wembanyama's summer league has officially come to an end, sources told ESPN, with the San Antonio Spurs deciding Monday to shut down the No. 1 pick in last month's NBA draft after a stellar second game here in Sin City.
Wembanyama, who bounced back from a dubious debut with a 27-point, 12-rebound performance in a loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, said after the game that he would sit down with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and decide whether he would continue playing..
In his NBA 2K24 Summer League debut Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets, Wembanyama had a rough outing, shooting 2-for-13 from the field and admitting he felt lost at times on the court. But after a slow start against Portland, Wembanyama came on in a big way, dominating the game in the second quarter and nearly willing the Spurs all the way back to a victory..

Miller and Minott look good. Last year at Summer League Minott looked promising but somewhat out of control. This year he looks much calmer. This year Miller looks promising but sort of heater skelter.Really excited about Miller. Feels like they stole a top 15 pick
I think when Connelly saw Miller fall out of Round 1, he went right to the phones.Really excited about Miller. Feels like they stole a top 15 pick
I agree with Taylor, per Shama:
Glen Taylor Reserved about NBA In-Season Tournament
This fall the NBA In-Season Tournament debuts involving all 30 league teams. The tournament starts November 3 and ends with the semifinals on December 7 and championship game December 9 in Las Vegas. All games, except for the championship, count as part of the regular season results and standings. Teams will continue to have 82-game regular season schedules, with the playoffs to follow as in the past.
There is more detail than that involved, and fans may find it all confusing. “Well, it’s something they want to try,” Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor told Sports Headliners. “I am not as enthused about it as the league is. I think it’s going to be kind of complicated.”..
His WNBA team has participated in an in-season tournament the last 3 seasons. The Commissioners Cup has each teams first home game vs a conference team count toward a separate standing. The top team after the 10 games of home & home play for the Commissioners Cup.I agree with Taylor, per Shama:

Taylor said the league has been talking about the tournament for six years. It’s a potential revenue generator for the NBA, and something that will bring more attention to the league during football season.
Howl Wolves!!
the only stakes that make sense to me is a guaranteed playoff spot if you win itNobody outside of Silver's staff and European Soccer fans are enthused about it.
No, strike the "Soccer fans" part.

You know, I kind of like it. I'm not sure how it will work, but I like it more than the play-in.Nobody outside of Silver's staff and European Soccer fans are enthused about it.

Good deal for him. He should be able to carve out a decent NBA career, just not a ton of room for him here.Nate Knight to the Knicks on a two-way deal.
I don't really mind players demanding trades but demanding singular destinations is absurd. I like Lillard but him demanding to go the Heat is gross. . Portland him to contracts over $450 million during his career.NBA Players have been demanding trades for quote awhile now. Here are some of the most notable.
