End of Summer (League)

Quick thoughts on the Las Vegas summer league games:

No surprise that John Wall thrived in this setting.  In the Big Show, I think he'll have some trouble scoring for a while, but he'll be plenty of trouble for veteran guards to keep up with.  Therefore, his teammates should get plenty of good looks off of help.  Enter JaVale McGee, who looks like he could have a bright future indeed...

Smart move to crop the mop, Luke.

Are the Kings the next Thunder..?  Well, they don't exactly have Kevin Durant on board, but they're off to a good start with Evans and Cousins.  Now, where will that cap room go..?

And to the NorthWest, I can't help but feel that our buddy Luke Babbitt will be little more than a specialist for the Blazers, coming in to spread the floor and hit open shots.  I'm not down on this fact, mind you, as I believe there's a well-defined place for specialists of this kind on any team, but I hope Coach Nate will be able to find someone to fill up the minutes that got traded away with Martell Webster.  At least Luke cut his hair.
