Judah Mintz: Sixers Summer League

[Cstate]

Was that second-to-last one off the backboard a bad shot or a pass?

Generous score keeper at home. Just like the one were he passed to Taylor at the 3 point line, and then Taylor put the ball on the floor and drove all the way in for a layup.

Are you comparing the NBA to Pitt?

are we comparing Judah's performance in college with the NBA?

 

[atlanticuse]

No one on the team is close to NBA level player, maybe westry but thats a huge tbd

there's always a chance.

Not sure what Judah has to do with Brown or what doing well against Pitt has to do with the NBA.

I thought about that also. Watching the replay made me think it had to be a pass. Wouldn't swear to it though. I would bet money the official scorer gave a rebound there but no assist.

Same thought. Live i thought shot but seeing the replay and different angles I think pass.

On the replay that off the backboard pass looks very intentional. The spin on the ball is not congruent with trying to make the shot. Plus Judah's reaction sold me on it being intentional.

Kind of pathetic and gross a fan would start a thread like this crapping on our players NBA chances. Not sure he makes it but he’s in that next run and G League starter and close no matter what. Why start a negative thread like this?

FWIW.

Don’t Confuse Realistic Thinking with Negative Thinking - Jim Seibold

Negative thinking is often disguised as "realistic thinking". This is both dishonest and harmful. Read on for an honest approach to problem-solving.

jimseibold.com

Realistic thinking considers multiple possible outcomes, including ones we would prefer. Only considering the least desirable result isn’t realistic, it’s just negative. Don’t confuse realistic thinking with negative thinking.

Realistic thinking is based in the likelihood that something could happen – positive, negative, or neutral. Focusing exclusively on negative consequences is only partially realistic. Considering only overly positive outcomes is not realistic thinking either. Being realistic is about considering both types of results.

Looking at the play-by-play, they did score it as a missed shot and a rebound. Watching live, I would have scored it the same way (and I am the statistician for a Division I basketball team - not Syracuse). But watching the replay I think it was an intentional pass off the backboard.

Absolutely ridiculous

Waiting for the Lakers to name LeBron player coach GM and draft him

 

[Cheriehoop]

Creighton’s Kalkbrenner who’s invited has already announced that he’s returning to school. No Quincy Guerrier on the list. I think PJ Hall could opt to return. Some more of these kids could opt to return to college too. Noticed Bronny too - wonder which teams will give him inflated vs honest evaluation?

 

[MikeSU02]

Bronny James. LOL.

Wasn’t even all LA coming out of high school, but made the McDonald’s game. Made the combine.

Can’t wait until the Lakers give Bron a full extension and draft Bronny.

I mean he didn’t improve on anything he needed to so why would they waste the invite? Teams have seen what he has to offer.

Definitely learned new ways to complain to referees and coaches.

I think of it more as exerting power than pure nepotism.

He back?

Grandpa declined the invite. How dare they work him out, and boy what a smile.

As a Laker fan this is my worst nightmare. Add in that they may hire lebrons podcast buddy JJ Redick as the coach.
