Las Vegas Summer League 2009 thread

Thanks Hoop. I'd forgotten about Meeks. The Bucks have got themselves a roster of young guys who will work their @sses off for Skiles this year I reckon. They won't win a lot, but they will find out who they should keep and land a decent draft slot at the end of the season!

Good to hear something positive about Ingles. I'd like nothing more than for him to succeed, but from the little snippets I've seen of Summer League this year, he seems to spend a lot of time on the perimeter on the weakside, waiting for a kick out that never comes. Its tough when Curry is either jacking up shots or feeding Randolph in the paint all game.

I think in the end his problem is that he doesn't seem assertive enough, and hasn't shown at least one NBA quality skill. I don't think he is strong enough to be a good slasher, and doesn't look like he will be a top notch defender or passer/ ball handler, so I think he has to show he can knock down the open jumper right out to 3pt range.

Thanks for the reports Hoops Addict - really interesting to hear. Look forward to your next one.

The news I am happiest about is Brandon Jennings. I thought the Bucks had flat out screwed themselves in the draft again with Jennings, but based on your comments and what I've seen of the highlights and box scores, I reckon they've found a guy with a lot of talent. Between him and Amir Johnson and Mbah a Moute, its nice to see the Bucks finally putting a few solid pieces in place around Bogut.

One more good offseason and the Bucks might finally turn the corner. If I were Skiles I'd be imploring Jennings not to take it to the basket too often though - the kid is so skinny I can see him getting badly injured like TJ Ford did a couple of years back!

Cheers Hoop Addict. Can you do another write up after that?
