Summer League!

Poot's World... It's time for some observations of a very interesting summer league, packed with ballers, airballs, and uruguayans carrying the ball...

Poot's Allstars/No Shows

Donte Greene.... Holy shit this guy can fill it up. When i heard the warriors had the potential to draft him, i wasn't too excited since apparently he didn't fit the bill at Syracuse, but DAMN. Right now i am watching him against Washington and he is over shooting everything, but i feel like when he finds his range, he could be a superstar. Honestly, this guy could be electrifying. We'll see, but good pick-up for Houston, things are looking up for them.

Jerryd Bayless.... Another holy shit... gets to the cup at will and creates contact everytime. 36 points last night and 17 in the 4th quarter. Poot, honestly, this could be one of the those Sam Bowie things Larry Bird pulled with this one. You liked him too which sucked, but man, Kareem Rush's brother for this fireball? Only time will tell. Blazers added Nicholas Batum too!? Jeez, Pritchard can sit on his squad and be GM of the year 2012-16

Anthony Randolph.... Whoaaaa. Sometimes when you are in a rut, pleasant surprises seem unable to come by, but holy shit... Little-know freshman on a shitty LSU team has these kinds of scoring abilities, SMOOTH handles, and 6 10 to boot? Sign me up. Maybe not this year or the next, but man if he gets this game in the future, him and Monta could be a devlish duo. Things are looking up!

Marco Bellinelli.... When confident, appears to be lights out... on the flip side, when he doesn't have it, ala against Sacramento, he dissappears. Let's hope he learns paced confidence of a role player and not the shoot first mentality of the go-to-guy. His bombs are impressive

Quincy Douby.... Favorite NCAA player in 2005. When he played for Rutgers in the big east, he absolutely killed it despite having the frame of a Sea Horse. He reminds me of a poor-man's Rip Hamilton. He has the potential to be really good in Sac Town.

Brandon Wright... Unfortunately doesn't seem to have it yet. Here's to hoping he does, and i will apologize for Poot and myself whether he likes it or not, that AR and BW are two very different players despite their body doubles.

Nick Young... Would seemingly more or less dominate some of these match-ups in summer league after tutoring under Gil and talking via plastic cups and telephone wire to Gabe Pruitt across benches. From what i have seen he is trying too hard and is expecting too much to be given/come to him. He is a great scorer, but i would imagine Douby or Bayless to have more trouble than Nick appears to be having...

Michael! *Donna voice* I know a 9-5 may be impairing you from contributing to this fine institution, but without your help, this burrito is just beans, and no cheese... starcraft 2 thoughts? Glen Rice is not joining the NBA anytime soon mike, so your post need not wait either.... Poot wonderful writing, without my nonsense, this could actually be a legitimate blog...
