Summer League Open Thread - Monday, July 13

PrintToday's action begins with the Timberwolves vs. the D-League Select team. I'm not sure what it means to be on the D-League select team when most of the best D-League guys were 'selected' to be on NBA summer league rosters. But I suppose that is picking nits.
If you're in the house and readig this on your mobile, I'm at the east end of the Cox pavilliion, beyond the D Leaguers bench. Wearing my non-affiliated Mini hat, so stop by and say Hi. (by the way, I know it's the east end, because Wayne, aka AusTechSpur, has a compass on his iPhone. We're guessing that's the one and only time that feature will be used.)
Wolves feature Jonny flynn, Oleksiy Pecherov (aka Stewie), Corey Brewer and Wayne Ellington, among others (for any Anteaters out there, there's been an Adam Parada sighting. D-League features one guy I've ever heard of, Walker Russell. So far, it's a bit of a mis-match.

Hope to hear your analysis on BG incase I miss Blake. Don’t forget to include the development of DJ, EG, and MT. They’re still Clippers afterall! (:

jonny flynn
can score the ball. He may have problems in the NBA on defense and/or distributing. but he can get to the rim.

Pecherov...
In addition to looking EXACTLY like Stewie, he is not a bit shy (which come to think of it is like Stewie as well). He shot a three the first time he touched the ball (made it) and has two threes in the game. His is a threat to shot everytime he touches the ball – I’m just not sure which team feels more threatened.

I don’t have anything else to do… if I wasn’t watching, I’d be blogging or trying to get some school work done on line. I can do all of that here (albeit with more distractions) – so why not? At least I get a tabletop spot.

12-0 run
D-Leaguers start the second half with a ton of energy and take the lead with a 12-0 run. By the way, that’s on 2 dunks, 3 layups and a fast break 10 footer. TWolves had better wake up unless they want to be the career highlight for these guys.

Don Draper: Kids today, they have no one to look up to. Cuz they're looking up to us.
Garrett Siler...
Wolves have a guy on their roster named Garrett Siler – I’ve never heard of him before. He ‘s listed at 6’11" 305. He’s got no neck at all, so if that 6’11" is accurate, then he actually plays way over 7 feet. He’s huge, but not fat. And he’s not bad. Looks like he played at some D-III school in Illinois.

30-10....
D League runs off a 30-10 third quarter. Ouch. These Wolves are going to be all over some personal highlight reels getting dunked on. Not what they wanted out of the summer league experience, I’m guessing.

Wayne Ellington
Ellington has 15 points in 18 minutes thru 3 quarters, including three 3’s. sounds nice, right? Unfortunately, he also has two of the UGLIEST bites on up fakes I’ve ever seen. You’d think Roy Williams would have taught him better.

4th qrt
I love how Johnny Flynn sees the floor. he uses both hands exceptionally well on passing. That wrap around pass to the low post with his left was impressive. Overall his court vision is outstanding. Also great to see him barking at other players at every foul and timeout. the kids only 20 years old. Im craving johnny flynn but still lovin MT

Quick opinion:
Rubio or Flynn? (;
Mike Smith on Eric Gordon: "The Clippers may have found their go to scorer."
On a second note, I want Novak back!
I'm a rubio guy
I think he’s got a chance to be special. On the other hand, he’s probably got more of a chance to be a bust than Flynn. I think it’s all or nothing with Rubio (that is if he ever plays here).

I think he is going to play in NBA.
But I’m with you on that. He’s either going to be very good, or very bad. Bigger bust than Flynn or better player than Flynn. But isn’t Rubio’s downside shooting? So in a way, isn’t Rubio a bit like LIvingston? Great courtvision, but horrible shooter? Afterall, Livingston was compared to Magic Johnson.
Mike Smith on Eric Gordon: "The Clippers may have found their go to scorer."

On Paper, Yes
Rubio seems to have a lot more between the ears than our old pal Livingston. Also, as has been mentioned on here he has more experience playing at a higher level (Euro League) than Shaun ever did.
Next game...
Is Suns-Mavs. Taylor Griffin is playing for the Suns. I’m looking around, trying to see if Blake his hear to watch his big brother. Haven’t seen him yet.

Quick, in thread preview...
I’m calling the suns the team of less famous brothers, but PhoenixStan informs me that I did not originate that line. Apparently the BSotS guys have been saying it for awhile. Oh well. With Taylor Griffin and Robin Lopez, it’s hard to miss it. (By the way, I also am, apparently, not the first to call Robin Side show Bob. Stewie followed by Side Show Bob – prime time cartoon characters are all over the place here at the Cox pavillion).

Okay fine
I’m going to tread lightly on this one.
But don’t you think asking him softball questions about how chemistry is going between, all the young players is equally meaningless? We have all the LA Times hacks who don’t know anything about basketball to ask that kind of question. And why not ask my question? If you think the question is stupid, I get that. But if you’re worried about pissing him off, that’s kind of a big difference.
While I don’t have the journalism credentials you do, I read enough of the “Blake Griffin works really really hard stories” to know that those are a dime a dozen.
Plus, the question was asked in a fanpost.

MDsr mini-interview
He spoke to Kaman 2 days ago – Chris has lost 20 pounds (!) and is working hard. He’ll be in LA at the beginning of August. UNLESS he’s with Team Deutschland at the European Championships in Poland. It would be the coach’s strong preference that he be in LA – stay tuned.
Al has been rehabbing in Playa Vista with the training staff. He’s progressing well, and has been cleared to start shooting. Coach seemed pleased with his progress.
Mardy is working out at his home in Philly. He’s progressing well also.
Coach is very pleased with the way Blake and the second year guys are meshing. He says every practice they look better.

Man didn’t realize how serious Al’s injury was. Glad he’s been cleared to start shooting. Good to hear he’s been with the training staff working things out.
Great to hear Chris lost 20 pounds. I remember him mentioning he gained some while sitting through his injury. Good sign that he’s obviously been working out and getting back into basketball shape.

analysis of less than blake
He’s very athletic and strong but he doesn’t have much range on his jumper. Seems like a tweener… Not big enough to play the 4 and doesn’t shoot well enough to play the 3. Maybe he can sit around a few years and improve like a Luke Walton

Hanging with MDsr, Kim Hughes, Olshey and Fred Vinson. The Clippers staff is hanging out here. Should I ask them about AI?

LOL
You really want that question asked. I think the answer, for now, is probably both. they’ll bring Blake off the bench, at least for the first 10 games.

I have to agree with mwhite06
that question needs to be answered!
Mike Smith on Eric Gordon: "The Clippers may have found their go to scorer."
On a second note, I want Novak back!
Ask about
1. Allen Iverson – any truth to rumours?
2.Von Wafer – Clips interested at all?
Backup PG Question
Hey Steve, can you ask them if they plan to find a backup PG or go with Taylor as the primary backup?
OK
Kevin had a post on that. He was told that they want a more traditional point guard this year, while Taylor develops.

Great...
I guess if he just wants a 1 yr deal, it’s not a huge deal.
But what’s the point of this? All it does is cut into EJ’s development. He already has a shoot-first PG. Now he has to play with an all world shot jacker? Talk about bringing in guys who will only show the youngsters bad habits.
“We talkin ’bout practice…” Can’t wait til EJ starts saying that.
Olshey and MDsr...
I just asked them about AI. They have no comment. Actually, they feigned surprise that the rumor is out there. Of course, what are they going to say?

Thanks for trying
I am anxious to see how your interpretations of their facial expressions change/progress as you are able to interview them more and more…
“feigned”
So what’s your take Steve? AI on the Clips just to sell tix? I liked it two years ago, but now…..
My take
It’s completely fabricated by the Iverson camp to drum up interest.

Feigned was too strong
The point is, they said exactly what they would say, whether it was true or not. But there are so many rumors flying around this place, it’s just crazy.

Don't jump to conclusions...
The source is ‘close to Iverson’. And obviously Iverson’s camp has a vested interest in implying that there’s interest out there. So it could be cut from whole cloth. Again… MDsr and Olshey didn’t say anything they wouldn’t have said if it was absolutely true. But it smacks of one of those crazy “It’s the Clippers” rumors. It would be extremely out of step with the way the summer has gone.

Yea but
Isn’t it one of those things where if it’s not true than a simple “no” is all that is needed?
Seems like one of those situations where no means no, anything else means yes.
Was it a No?
It was “That’s the first I’ve heard of it.” Which is essentially a no. Of course, that’s also a lie, since Ric Bucher was sitting next to him.

Yea…well whatever. I’m gonna hold out hope it doesn’t happen. I think it’s a ridiculous move and it just makes the Clips look stupid. I can hear the mockery now.
Here’s a novel idea, stick with the youngsters and BUILD the team from those assets. Bringing in undersized, shot happy SGs with overinflated ideas of their own worth is about the last thing this team needs.
For Clippers road games
Since only wins correlate with variation in home attendance.
So even as side-show, its misguided.
Though who knows, maybe Iverson is ready to hit that crafty veteran stage.
Nahhhhh
The Randolph deal
I wonder how this could effect the Randolph trade. Memphis was hoping to use their remaining cap space on Iverson.
If it’s only a 1 year deal we don’t have much to lose.
Steve, What's th update on this?
Randolph trade still on or what?
Also the Von Wafer thing?
Anything to that one?
I asked the Deam Shake guys...
What they know. The first question is whether that’s really VW’s Twitter.

For Stack to clear waivers… a few more days…. I forget the exact date.

Out of the loop on that one
How does Stackhouse relate to Clips?
Stack...
went to Grizz in the Shawn Marion trade. They waived him (he had an unguaranteed contract) which frees more cap space for them to make the Z-Bo trade.

Ah, nevermind
You saying Randolph deal will go through as sson as they waive Stack….
Camby talked to Dunleavy
Camby said Dunleavy talked to him a few days ago about free agents. I wonder if Dunleavy asked him about Iverson since they played together in Denver?
Steve ask Olshey
If he’ll do a Q&A with you on Clipsnation one day. He seems media accessible. Say the fans are interested in talking to him and ask if he’d be open to something where you solicit questions from Clipsnation members, pass them along to him via email or via phone with you, and you report the results on Clipsnation.
Seems like it’s worth a shot right? 3 Shades of Gray does interviews with the Grizz owner all the time.
OK...
I think that could work.

Lisa Dillman's Clips in "very serious talks" with Iverson Article
Unbelieveable that AI is at this point in his career. Supposedly either the Clips or Griz are his only real choices at this point. No one else wants him for anything more than a short deal or low $ deal.
Is this where AI tells the world his family can’t live off $2 Million (Miami) and retires ala Spreewell?
if the real contenders don't want him why should we be looking to sign this drama queen.
Still so selfish and self center after all these years and in denial about falling off the map. So he starts and EG takes a back seat to him…..no thank you.

Wrapping up
Back to the game… 3 point game, 30 seconds left. Beaubois was just helped off the court, which is VERY bad news for him and the Mavs. Hopefully it’s not as serious as it kind of looked. I have to shut down so I’m ready to move to the other arena. BRB.

And he was our first rounder!
should have gotten Calathes after all.

Iverson just looking for more
I wonder if Iverson is just using us to try to get more money out of Miami?
This was leaked by a source close to Iverson.
Hopefully though not sure how this would work.
I know Miami and Memphis don’t want him that bad.

That's what I was thinking
I’m wondering if the Clips are staying quiet on it as a favor to his agent. His agent is Leon Rose, who represents quite a few prominent players including Lebron James (and our own Mardy Collins).
CONSPIRACY
LEBRON 2010? >_>
Stuck in limbo.
hmmm clever
LeBron is ours next year. We have the “in” with the agent ;)

haha just to be clear
I wasn’t really implying it would help us nab The King. Just that sometimes it’s good to get in the good graces of an agent (who isn’t David Falk).
Or....
You do know something but aren’t at liberty to make such comments ;)
Haha but yeah I do agree, nothing wrong with making friends with agents and other teams. Might come in handy one day.
