Summer League Game 5 Thread: Sixers/Jazz

by Michael Levin on Jul 9, 2010 5:54 AM PDT in 2010 Summer League

Early game today so no time for a long preview. This is the last shot for guys like Cedric Simmons, Trent Plaisted, and Ndudi Ebi to audition for a training camp invite here. At this point I would say none of them get one, but without Marreese Speights, they'll have more time to show what they got. I'll throw something together this weekend on the Sixers week, but for now, just enjoy the box scores and brace yourself for Vegas because this baby is not televised.

One more time: I'll continue to defend Evan Turner until halfway through his rookie season, no matter how bad he looks. I suggest you try to keep breathing as well, seeing as he's a rookie on a team that's hoping to contend in 3-4 years. If he elbows Gordon Hayward in the teeth, I think I'd be okay with it.

Oh and keep an eye out for an article I wrote for RU, it's scheduled to post at 11 -- let me know what you think, because I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it.

Thread it here, gents.

evan turner will be good. He’s adjusting. I dont have solid facts or any links, just my guy insticts. He will find his way.

same. He’s a good, smart basketball player. I think there’s a bigger learning curve for him especially to learn to play off the ball most of the time.

He does need to limit his turnovers more though.

Where getting burned by the 55th pick in the draft happens….

Frustrating

14 turnovers in the first half.

I’d like to see turner demand the ball more and be more agressive. He’s just kind of blending in right now… not what I wanna see.

Tough game so far but our complete team except ET and possibly Simmons are scrubs, if that. I think it is very hard to play decent in defense of ET with these team mates. I am willing to give him time as ya’ll above and am not at all worried. I do remember a year ago how bad Jrue looked and I think ET looks better than Jrue a year ago.

But, watching this game is real tough!
