Rocco with a great block at the rim!
Re: SL Game 4 GDT
Wolves get the win. Great team effort with not one guy dominating. Freeman, Rocco, and Evans all with better games than prior efforts.
- Pullin with 23 points on only 12 shots to go along with 6 assists. He outplayed Braden Smith, the 38th pick in the draft and all-time NCAA assist leader. Zyon has been rock-solid in all four games and looks like an NBA PG out there. He struggles a bit with finishing at the rim, but is really good in the mid-range and with runners and his jumper is effective out to the 3-point arc.
- Rocco played better in this game than the prior ones. They completely went away from the pick and pop game and he focused a bit more on just being a screener and hanging around a bit more in the dunker's spot. He deserves more runway given his age and size, but it's hard seeing him being able to contribute to the big league squad this year as a 3rd string Center that could step into the rotation if there are injuries. He's really vulnerable guarding in space with really slow reaction time. He's theoretically a threat from beyond the arc (his shot "looks" good), but now he actually has to start making them! It don't matter that he's willing to take them and he's got smooth mechanics if they rarely go in.
- Freeman hustled and worked his way to 11 rebounds in this game and actually converted some nice hoops around the rim. He ain't it though when it comes to helping our PF depth.
- Evans finally made a few shots in this game from a variety of spots, including a couple of smooth pull-up 2-point jumpers that he made look easier than they were. But his 3-point shot is still erratic at best, as he came up short on nearly every one he missed. He ended up with 22 points on 22 shots. He shows flashes of being more than a shooter at times, but that's all they are...flashes.
- TKR played barely 15 minutes, yet managed to draw 5 fouls and score 10 points on free throws alone. He's a sturdy, strong dude that works hard and makes smart plays. He's been a plus in +/- every single game so far.

Should have taken Maleek Thomas afterall.
Re: SL Game 4 GDT
I’m missed the game earlier today but I’m watching the recording now. I’ve watched through 3 quarters so far.
Rocco’s best game by far. He actually looks like someone who might have an NBA future. He’s slow but he’s really big and has pretty good hands. And he looked a little quicker tonight. If he can develop a reliable perimeter shot then he’ll eventually be on an NBA roster. Maybe he’ll be able to help us later next season.
My man crush on Zyon continues. He’s really good.
Great to see Evans hit some shots today. His shot is too often still short and flat from behind the NBA arc, but at least he hit a few today. I really do like his defense and surprisingly pleased by his ability to put hte ball on the floor. He’s very active on both ends. Love his energy. He also showed some passing acumen.
Freeman looked like an NBA player a few times today. I wish his skills matched his athleticism.
I also have a man crush on SAntos. I love his shot and he can do a few other things as well.
Jaylin Williams looks like our second best Summer League big after Beringer. I wonder if he’s more worthy of a two-way than Freeman.
