Knicks vs. Wizards: NBA Summer League game 5 open thread

by Mike Prada on Jul 17, 2010 3:48 PM EDT in Game Threads

Our all-star Summer League cast looks to go undefeated against the Knicks this afternoon. John Wall won't suit up, unfortunately. He finishes Summer League having averaged 23.5 points and 7.8 assists per game. Wowza.

JaVale McGee also won't play, according to Kyle. I guess both of those guys have proven everything they needed to prove. The Wizards will instead start Lester Hudson, Kevin Palmer, Cartier Martin, Trevor Booker and Hamady Ndiaye.

This is your final game thread. GO WIZARDS!

makes me smile

I like Booker's pump fake and drive

Unfortunately, I doubt anyone will go for the pump in the real league – he will need to prove he has a shot

Getting buckets since 2003.

Randle doing work at point

I really want to see Booker more involved in the offense

It is cool that he is still able to be effective w/o the ball though. Seems like they are really running him…picks on O and trapping on full court D

Lester Hudson!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got to sign Martin and Hudson

Maybe they won’t get much playing time…especially hudson, but I would like these guys to fill out the roster

by Carlos Returns on Jul 17, 2010 4:47 PM EDT reply actions

Agreed

Anyone for Kevin Palmer, too?

We're from the city with the highest murder rate in the country. Why WOULDN'T they call us the Bullets?

Martin and Hudson look real good

Martin’s a lock right?

No locks with EG at the helm...

we only have ten guys under contract right? this according to ESPN

9 Gilbert Arenas PG 28 6-4 215 Arizona $17,730,694
0 Hilton Armstrong C 25 6-11 235 Connecticut $854,389
7 Andray Blatche PF 23 6-11 248 $3,260,331
35 Trevor Booker C 22 6-7 240 Clemson $1,204,560
0 Kirk Hinrich G 29 6-3 190 Kansas $9,000,000
31 Yi Jianlian PF 22 7-0 250 $4,050,499
34 JaVale McGee C 22 7-0 252 $1,607,040
14 Al Thornton SF 26 6-8 220 Florida State $2,814,196
2 John Wall PG 19 6-4 195 Kentucky $5,144,280
1 Nick Young SG 25 6-6 200 USC $2,630,503

After we sign Seraphin…we have 4 roster spots. probably not going to sign livingston, so we an afford to get martin and hudson

Livingston signed with Bobcats

Thought he was talking w/ someone.

We need a backup point unless Hinrich and Arenas will be considered the backup pg

by Carlos Returns on Jul 17, 2010 5:01 PM EDT up reply actions

Gilbert, Kirk and John will all play some at the point. And looking at that roster it’s very clear that a legitimate center is a much bigger need than a backup point guard. We need a center and a wing, even if we do keep Martin.

The best would be if Lebron showed up to play in the heat vs Cavs game next

I could see him pulling that move

by Carlos Returns on Jul 17, 2010 5:06 PM EDT reply actions

A game without the dynamic duo is not as exciting

But Hamady and company are playing decent defense. H. does a good job of keeping opponents out of the paint.

by satchmore on Jul 17, 2010 5:17 PM EDT reply actions

Just turned the game on. How’s the depth been looking?

by lynxtheone on Jul 17, 2010 5:33 PM EDT reply actions

Ok

There’s been some sloppy play. Booker’s offense is picking up – he has a good mid-range jumper. Hamady is a true post player – when he blocks someone out, he pushes them out of bounds, well away from the basket. Cartier, Palmer and Hudson have been sharing the scoring load.
