Time to Play CATCH-UP


Bad news: I haven't updated this blog in over a month.

Good news: No one is really checking for it on a daily basis.


So here's my wrap-up:


John Wall averaged 24 PPG, 8 APG, 4 RPG, 3 SPG in 4 Summer League games.
Adjust his minutes and he averaged 13 free throws per 36 minutes. He shot 87% (41 of 47) from the free throw line. (This is a big deal... superstars get to the line at ease... it's a great way to control, and end, games)

He did average 5 turnovers per game. He'll have to work on his decision making. However, his blazing speed contributes to many of the turnovers. There aren't many players in the league that can stay in front of John Wall once he turns on his extra gear.

He missed one game due to tendinitis of the knees, but it's nothing too serious.


JaVale McGee played extremely well in Summer League, as well.
Most recently, he was added to TEAM USA.
Brook Lopez dropped out because he's suffering from mono.

JaVale McGee and Tyson Chandler are the only two centers on the roster.
Look for JaVale to get plenty of work with highly-talented, and mature NBA veterans.
This could be great for the development of the third-year center.
He compares favorably to Chandler.

Let's hope he proves to be more durable, and more offensively-capable than the new Dallas Maverick.
