This will be a running list

Eggs:
Brandon Miller - terrible so far. Follows up an awful ncaa tourney with a terrible summer league

Wemby - too fragile to play SL? Load management already?

Stars:
Keagan Murray - just balling

Julian Champagnie - showing out, and signed with the spurs for essentially the minimum on a 4 year deal

Getting reps in, building confidence

Also, the kings needed a star for the Sacramento summer league.

If kris Murray is almost as good as Keagan, the blazers got a good one with our 1st round pick

Not wanting to jump the gun on Miller but watched his first 2 games and body language looked poor, was constantly putting his hands up to the refs and thought he took offense to a few hard fouls he took. The mix on that squad with Bouknight (don’t like at all), Kai Jones (bust?) and Nick Smith looks wonky as hell.

On Miller his shot looks a tad flat and his body looks a bit skinny/weak right now.

I’m sure he’ll go for 40 next game.

Wemby will play in Vegas.
I think they might have some scarey Chet Holdgrem fear as he busted his ACL in summer league last year.
Casegoods Vs Popovich, yeah, load management.

I also liked how poised Keynote George has looked. Still not sold on his athleticism, but he looks more polished to me.

As someone who was high on Miller most of the season, I think he has a high bust potential. I wonder who will be second best in this draft behind wemby? Scoot? Amen/Ausar? Other?

Interesting Chris Haynes at summer league saying many execs he has asked say Zion is available in the right deal.

Can’t wait to see him play in NY for the Nets.

Watching summer league but distracted by thoughts of future hall of fame inductions for Sanogo and Jackson-Davis.

Dyson’ s perimeter shot looked way sketch and completely missed Hawkins on break for about 2-3 seconds.

Hawkin’s I just love to watch how he glides around the floor — limited player but when the jumper is on it’s very pretty.

It's like he switching speed like Bruce Lee riding a Fuji on a movie. Seriously, that boys got some pop in that first step. Just needs more strength and additional work on that jumpshot.

Yes - this kid has elite stride, quickness, speed - damn if he ever puts a solid jump shot together.

Thought Scoot was great last night - loved body language, interactions with teammates, body/strength/handle/vision and just overall manipulation of the game. Played D as well and just under control. Tried to think of who he reminds me of maybe a little Wall, Marbury and maybe a little Lowry with his strength and bullying.

One sprained his ankle and the other left the game with a shoulder injury?

Didn't look real serious, but it's only summer league. No need for these guys to "push" through.

Yeah, Scoots pull up game was really advanced as well as his understanding of the hostage and snake dribbles. There guards who've been in the league for years who aren't as good at the PnR as Scoot. He's clearly the second best prospect in this class and Charlotte, predictably, effed it up.
