Go Summer League Wolves!

Wolves need to win by 17 to tie the kings. 18 to pass them

espn shows the kings as a plus 13.5 after 4 and the wolves at 16 so shouldnt we just need to ckore

The Kings are a plus 55 after 4 games and the Wolves sit at plus 48. So we only need 7 to tie them and 8 to pass.

The Pelicans sit at a plus 45 though so they have a good shot at it too. Boston at this point I think is a lock.

The Wolves won, but not by enough. Dang! Still, going 4-0 is nothing to sneeze at and I think they play one more game, although I kind of wonder if they will shut McDaniels and Nowell down and give some other guys a longer look.

Successful summer league. All that mattered was for Jaden show out and he did. Mission accomplished. Bring on training camp.

At least we get to play the Pelicans in an undefeated showcase game to end summer league. Should be a good game. I hope we get to see Murphy and Mcdaniels matched up against each other.

I still wonder if they shut down McDaniels. He's had a successful summer league in so far as the team went 4-0 and him getting the chance to be one of their lead dogs (along with Nowell). The risk of injury always has to be weighed against whatever development he gains from playing another competitive game that ultimately doesn't mean much.

I hope they shut down McDaniels. No sense taking any risk in a meaningless final Summer League game with no chance of winning the Summer League title. Let McDaniels end on a high note going into training camp.

Rosas could make FNG happy if he played Bolmaro in this final game against the Pelicans. :) Is that even possible?

He's played in 4 games, why not 5? He's there to get reps and gain lead dog experience. I hope he plays.

I was thinking the same thing, but it's a 4pm game Vegas time and that's Leandro's nap time. Come on, Lip, give the guy a break. He's tired after his grueling 47 minutes over 4 Olympic games. The guy needs his rest!
