champions of the world, you’ll never sing that

one of the most fun college players last year

-javon small had a really strong first half. i think he’ll trend up as summer league goes on

-gg jackson was good. he was a play finisher, off-ball scorer and aggressive closeout attacker. that’s the role he can play with the grizzlies - it maximizes his strengths and minimizes the areas he needs to improve on. would like to see him continue to improve defensively, especially in help side

-if you don’t block cam spencer’s shot, it’s probably going in. he needs no space to get his shot off, and his touch is special

watched last night’s game again this morning. a few thoughts:

-jaylen wells (along with ajay mitchell for the thunder) looked a level above. confident shooter and defender. i’d mark him down as the starter on the wing with KCP

i assume we get the official Grizzlies summer league roster at some point today. here’s what i have pieced together so far based on various reports

cedric coward swing skills: handle/on ball creation, polishing up his defensive technique, and adding core/lower body strength

his jumper will allow him to get on the floor early

really buy Cedric Coward's jumper. the mechanics are sound and the statistical indicators are borderline elite:

83.2 FT% on 179 attempts
38.8 3pt% on 188 attempts
56.8% on non-rim twos on 58.6

thank you!

bump for the AM crowd
