Summer League Preview / Review

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
oops forgot to add the quote about Martin from earlier in the thread and why should we be happy with Jackson playing well against rookies and undrafted players in my earlier post.
 
Yeah he didn't even play a full game so you can't call him a rookie, he is like 24 isn't he though?
 
Luke is racking up some great assist numbers. They could be even better if he was playing with real NBA caliber scorers(though it is probably harder to get assists being guarded by NBA caliber defenders). Maybe they are right about Luke being able to handle some minutes at pg. Sounds like a terrific passer.
 
Luke would probably be one of the last options at playing back-up PG for the Cavs. Assuming we get Sarunas, we've got Eric Snow, LeBron James and Larry Hughes who can handle the rock.
 
The Cavaliers will be stocking up on good ball handlers in Jackson, James, Snow, Huhges and Saruans. With one or two of these guys on the floor, we will have no worries sticking to our offense.

Chatting with CBBI about Olumide Oyedeji. He has been solid in summer league and with 3 years NBA experience he is a decent show at sticking.
 
A pal of mine on another site was in Vegas and watched a game. He told me Marty was stroking NBA treys and had nice finesse moves in the post. Plus he blocked some of the Boston players. While we all agree Marty probably needs time in the NBDL, if you think about it, he's probably at least at Diop's level if not better. And that's a guy who was on our active roster last year. While this year's team is better, I wonder if having Marty as a very low priority big man on the bench would be such a crime.

^Wow, another 7 footer shooting threes? Can he hit the 10-12 foot jumper though?

I liked his signing but assumed at the time it would be at least 2 years before he could help us out. He needs major strength training. I say let him down in the NBDL for a year, bring him up at the beginning of Year 2 so he can see what he needs to work on, go back down and play full time, then call him up for the playoffs.

Yeah. Everything I heard about the kid has been negative so far and it was refreshing to hear the other side of the story. If the kid was completely and utterly terrible, you wouldn't even waste a second round pick if he didn't have any redeeming qualities. If Marty were on the roster, he wouldn't play much and would be Cleveland's version of the human victory cigar. But if Diop could make our team, I'm just saying Marty could make it too.
 
There is a difference though Remy.

Diop had an NBA body (or close to it anyway) coming into the league, he just had no basketball skills.

Martynas actually has some decent skills, he's just a toothpick right now.
