DraftExpress's write up on all the 2007 picks

Posted on LakersGround.net on 7/12/07.

DraftExpress.com does the most detailed write ups of summer league games, though I find their evaluations to be on the overly positive side. Here are all of the write ups for the first 5 days of the Vegas Summer League for 2007 draft picks from DraftExpress.com in draft pick order. At the end are all of the players whose team were at Vegas but the player wasn't mentioned.

Portland Trail Blazers #1 - Greg Oden

6 Points, 10 PF, 2 Rebounds on 7/6
-Tonight was truly a tough one for Oden. He was met in the paint by two pit bulls in Davis and Powe, and found himself committing frequent fouls from the start.
-Oden did have his moments though, as he threw down a monster slam on one end and got his hand on a few shots on the other.
-He was double teamed almost every time he receive the ball, and showed the ability to find the open man on a few occasions, but also made a couple bad decisions. He was probably pretty nervous, as the inexplicable goal-tend he had early in the game after a shot was already well on its way down.

13 Points, 4 Blocks, 9 PF on 7/8
-For the second straight game Oden found himself committing numerous fouls and sitting on the bench more than necessary.
-Unlike last game, Oden appeared a bit frustrated, and didn’t get going offensively until very late in the second half.
-He finished a few dunks when he caught lobs with deep post position, but showed a surprising spin move for an easy slam on his most impressive play of the evening.

Seattle Supersonics #2 - Kevin Durant

18 Points, 1 Rebound, 5-17 FG, 7-9 FT on 7/6
-It became apparent early on that Dallas wasn’t going to give Durant anything easy. This became the theme of the game for the lanky wing as he was sent to the line frequently. Once he got into a groove offensively, Dallas’s defense had a very hard time shutting him down. He went into the post an awful lot and looked to go to work with crafty footwork, often leading into a turnaround jumper.
-Many of Durant’s misses from the field were shots that he normally makes with ease. It is entirely possible that he was feeling a bit tentative because of the atmosphere and wanted to defer to his teammates.
-Durant had a hard time on the glass, as he can no longer use just his length to pull down boards. Don’t look for his rebounding numbers to increase immediately either, as he spent a large portion of his time on the floor defending away from the basket. Seattle played him extensively at the 2 or 3 spots.

18 points, 1 rebound, 2 turnovers, 4-19 FG, 2-6 3PT, 8-8 FT on 7/9
-Kevin Durant had a very tough game here, getting blocked on drives to the rim and struggling to convert on his outside shots, as he clearly hasn’t adjusted to the higher level of play here.
-Durant also has been missing on fairly open shots as well, so that part of his game will come around with time, as he gets past this stage of nervousness.
-Durant’s just one rebound on the game is cause for concern, though, as he should be pulling in a lot more, even if he does need to get stronger to reach his full potential.
-Durant looked lazy on the defensive end at times, not really moving his feet to stay in front of his man, not putting in much effort.

Memphis Grizzlies #4 - Mike Conley

12 Points, 5 Rebounds, 2 Assists on 7/6
-Conley displayed the tremendous body control that made him one of the most impressive point guards in the NCAA last season. His ability to float in the air and finish with both hands around contact is extremely impressive.

8 Points, 1 Rebound, 3 Assists, 2 Turnovers, 4 Fouls, 2-7 FG, 4-4 FT on 7/9
-Conley was decent today, but didn’t play as well as he did in the first game.
-His floater wasn’t falling, making it difficult for him to score around the rim. However, he was hitting from the foul-line, which alleviated some of those struggles.
-He hit one jumper from about 20 feet out, and utilized his crossover to effectively create space.

Seattle Supersonics #5 - Jeff Green

7 Points, 8 PF, 3 Turnovers on 7/6
-This was far from the debut Green expected it to be, as he committed numerous fouls early and appeared to lose his aggressiveness.
-Offensively, Green didn’t look comfortable putting the ball on the floor when playing out on the perimeter. It will be interesting to see if he is moved inside, or if he continues to try and score from the outside. A change will need to be made in the near future, as Green doesn’t seem to be in rhythm at all right now.

17 points, 3 rebounds, 4 turnovers, 5-12 FG, 1-4 3PT, 6-7 FT on 7/9
-Jeff Green played a pretty nice game, hitting from long range on multiple occasions, including one NBA three-pointer.
-Green also attacked the rim in transition, making one extremely nice dunk where he took off from about 10 feet out, and went through two defenders without even being phased, drawing the and-1 opportunity.
-Green didn’t get to show off much of his passing game here, though he spent most of his time on the wing, not in the high or low post.

Milwaukee Bucks #6 - Yi Jianlian

23 Points, 7 PF, 7 Turnovers on 7/6
-Yi showed the qualities of two very different players throughout this game.
-In one sequence, he blocked a shot on a weakside rotation before outhustling everyone to the other side of the floor for an awesome dunk in traffic. On a subsequent play, he simply threw the ball away.
-Early in the game, Jianlian appeared out of rhythm, but he improved as the game went on.
-Yi’s mid-range jumper is simply a thing of beauty. He also looked aggressive getting to the free throw line.
-Defensively, Yi struggled badly, picking up five fouls in the first five minutes.

9 Points, 7 Rebounds, 2 Assists on 7/7
-Yi struggled mightily today, as his shot simply wasn’t falling. He still managed to put up a decent point total, but failed to impress throughout the game.
-He consistently shied away from contact, and didn’t make it to the line as frequently as he should have. He will need to become more adept at scoring close to the basket if he wants to be effective immediately.

20 Points, 14-17 FT, 8 PF on 7/8
-Yi’s stat line is incredibly misleading, as he really did not play all that well. He did score quite a bit in the fourth quarter, but almost all of those points came off of free throws.
-His jump shot was not falling at all, and he struggled to defend the offensively anemic Dwayne Jones. The only notable shot he hit was the game winner when he Cleveland switched a guard onto him off a pick and roll.
-Yi doesn’t seem to be dealing too well with contact so far.

Minnesota Timberwolves #7 - Corey Brewer

7/9
-Brewer played relatively well in his debut, and some of his mistakes can probably be attributed to anxiousness.
-Brewer didn’t shoot the ball extremely well, but he made a few jumpshots and sprinkled in a few nifty finishes for good measure.
-Brewer played solid defense, and pursued rebounds on both end when he saw opportunities.

Sacramento Kings #10 - Spencer Hawes

19 Points, 7 Rebounds, 1 Assist on 7/7
-Hawes was simply dominant all game long. He used his deep repertoire of moved to score at will over both Wang ZhiZhi and Yi Jianlian.
-He showed especially deft touch on his jump shot out to the NCAA three-point line, and it seems like he may be capable of extending his range in the future.
-Defensively, Hawes used his size to contest shots and actively pursued rebounds outside of his area.

8 points, 6 rebounds, 1 block, 4 turnovers, 4-16 FG, 0-1 3PT on 7/11
-Spencer Hawes didn’t fare as well in his second game of summer league, struggling to convert on mid-range and outside jumpers, and not getting much going in the post.
-Hawes looked very impressive on a few post sequences, showing off his impressive array of moves and not having much trouble getting them off against the more athletic competition.
-Hawes also did convert on one shot from 20 feet out with a hand in his face, something he’s proven he can do before.
-Hawes did a decent job boxing out on the boards, and also played solid post defense on Kyle Visser.

Philadelphia 76ers #12 - Thaddeus Young

5 points, 2 rebounds, 2-6 FG on 7/6
Young came out looking to fire initially, but will need to work on his ball-handling skills.

11 Points, 3 Rebounds, 1 Assist on 7/7
-Young looked good running the floor tonight, but didn’t look as good pulling up off the dribble. His ball-handling skills need a lot of work, especially his right hand.
-On the defensive end, Young showed active hands, and sparked a few fast breaks with scrappy defense.

15 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 turnovers, 7-20 FG, 1-1 FT on 7/9
-Thaddeus Young had a pretty tough game, scoring 15 points, but on 20 shot attempts, a very inefficient showing.
-Young missed on outside shots and fancy drives to the rim, getting most of his scores on putbacks when he really pursued the boards, something he can really excel at with his size and strength from the wing position.
-Young did have a few nice scoring plays, though, including a spot-up shot from 18 feet and a left-handed floater that he was also fouled on.

9 points, 5 rebounds, 4 turnovers, 4-7 FG, 1-1 3PT on 7/10
-Thaddeus Young didn’t have a very impactful game, not creating many opportunities for himself offensively, but he showed flashes of good things when he touched the ball.
-One thing Young does very well for a small forward is rebound, specifically on the offensive end, where he has the strength and athleticism to go up and score on putbacks or get to the free-throw line, something he did a few times this game.
-Young wasn’t hitting on his outside shot for much of the game, but came up with a key three-pointer in overtime.

NOK Hornets #13 - Julian Wright

10 Points, 5-9 FG, 3 Rebounds on 7/7
-While his stats may not have been that impressive, the way he put them up definitely was.
-Wright showed a vastly improved jump shot with range out to the NCAA three-point line. He knocked down a number of spot up shots and even his an elbow jumper off the dribble with a hand in his face, even if his ball-handling skills clearly need work.
-He also looked very active and energetic on defense.

7/9
-Wright played a very good game today, moving the ball and setting up his teammates as well as anyone could have expected him to.
-Wright utilized his length to get into the paint, before dishing the ball to teammates for an easy basket or scoring himself using his jumper.
-Wright showed the same range he did yesterday, hitting a three to send this game into overtime.

Los Angeles Clippers #14 - Al Thornton

24 Points, 8 Rebounds, 2 Blocks on 7/8
-Thornton looked good shooting the ball from the mid range, but struggled to hit from outside the arc.
-He keeps the ball low when attacking off the dribble, which should bode well for him when he starts playing against NBA competition.
-Defensively, Thornton showed his athleticism and timing by climbing the ladder for a couple of impressive blocks
-Thornton’s quickness was unmatched in this setting and he did a great mixing up his drives with his pullup and turnaround jumpers.

17 Points, 7 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 6 Turnovers, 5 Fouls, 5-13 FG, 7-7 FT on 7/10
-Thornton had a rough go of things this game, making a few unnecessary errors with the ball.
-Thornton did play very well offensively, knocking down a bevy of midrange shots from out as far as the NCAA three-point line.
-Thornton has the potential to be one of the best rebounding small forwards in the game if he commits to attacking the glass every play.

Detroit Pistons #15 - Rodney Stuckey

14 Points, 4 Rebounds, 3 Assists on 7/7
-Stuckey played a brutally efficient game, playing minutes at both guard spots.
-His jump shot looked great, and he only missed on shot from outside of the mid range.
-As a point guard, Stuckey may have been too aggressive defensively, but he showed a lot of poise running Detroit’s offense.
-When given the opportunity, Stuckey also showed off his excellent ball-handling skills.
-It will be interesting to see how he looks when Maxiell gets tired of dominating and he can really let loose.

27 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 turnovers, 9-16 FG, 0-1 3PT, 9-9 FT on 7/9
-Stuckey may have had the most impressive performance of the day, hitting on various shots out to college three-point range, and consistently getting the first step on his man.
-Stuckey was at his best taking his man off the dribble, especially when he got a high screen at the top of the key.
-Stuckey used various spin and crossover moves to get past his man, showing the ability to pull up from mid-range or take it to the basket, where he can score with either hand or draw contact and get to the free-throw line.
-Stuckey exhibited pretty good court vision here, but is more of an opportunistic passer, and doesn’t really have a true point guard’s mentality.

Washington Wizards #16 - Nick Young

11 Points, 1 Rebound, 1 Assist, 1 Block, 3 Turnovers, 7 Fouls, 3-14 FG, 0-3 3FG, 5-7 FT on 7/10
-Young had a decent debut, but really struggled to get going from the floor. He may have been a bit nervous given that this was his first game as a pro.
-Young did exert a great deal of effort on the defensive end, but was overaggressive at times leading to fouls.
-Young did look comfortable with the ball in his hands, and will have the opportunity to make amends for his pedestrian performance in the coming days.

Golden State Warriors #18 - Marco Belinelli

37 Points, 14-20 FG, 5-7 3FG on 7/7
-Belinelli loves to shoot, and is the type of player who only needs to make a few shots to really get going. He is never gun shy from the perimeter.
-Whether it was coming off of screens, pulling up off of a hesitation dribble, or spotting up from well outside of the three-point arch, Belinelli was absolutely devastating all game long. His game looks almost effortless, and was completely in the zone today
-On the other side of the floor, Belinelli showed active hands, even if he has a tendency to gamble sometimes.
-He also showed a willingness to attack passing lanes, and managed to come up with a few deflections for easy dunks.

23 points, 2 assists, 2 steals, 9-23 FG, 5-8 3PT on 7/9
-Belinelli’s game revolves around his outside shot, which has good form and a very quick release, while Belinelli has absolutely no conscience about shooting every chance he gets.
-Belinelli was lights out when spotting up from deep yet again today, but he struggled when he tried to go off the dribble inside the arc, not hitting with the same consistency on pull-up and fade-away shots with a hand in his face.
-Belinelli made some nice drives to the rim, but he doesn’t draw much contact and he usually opts to put up fancy, soft shots that are prone to being blocked, even if he does show good creativity getting them off.
-Belinelli exhibited some decent ball-handling an occasion or two, not turning the ball over when he put the ball on the floor, but he doesn’t look like he can consistently create that way yet.
-Belinelli played solid defense when in man-to-man situations, moving his feet and showing solid fundamentals.

15 Points, 3 Assists, 2 Steals, 1 Turnover, 3 Fouls, 5-13 FG, 2-3 3FG, 3-5 FT on 7/10
-Belinelli played a solid game, but didn’t get as hot as he did in previous contests.
-Belinelli was much more conservative offensively, but still took a handful of fallaway jump shots from beyond the arch.
-Belinelli ran the floor well, and saw quite a few touches on the fast break. On one occasion, he made a great deflection to himself for an easy dunk.

Los Angeles Lakers #19 - Javaris Crittenton

18 Points, 8-13 FG, 4 Rebounds on 7/8
-Critentton stole the show today as he repetitively juked his defender off the dribble, dunked the ball with a purpose, and knocked down jump shots from all over the floor.
-He hawked the ball well defensively, and used his size to help out on the glass.
-The shot he hit in crunch time shows improved confidence in his still developing jump shot, which will pay dividends for him down the line.
-The Lakers have to be awfully pleased from what they saw from Crittenton today. On the flipside, Jordan Farmar probably isn’t.

0 points, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 turnover, 0-5 FG on 7/10
-Javaris Crittenton had a very non-descript game compared with his first game performance, coming off the bench, playing less minutes, and not really getting very involved in his team’s offense.
-Crittenton did make a few nice assists on drive-and-dishes, but wasn’t able to hit on any of his shot attempts, mostly mid to long range jumpers.
-Crittenton did have one very nice sequence where he crossed the ball over twice on a drive, brought the ball behind his back, then went up with a scoop shot off the glass, though he wasn’t able to convert.

Philadelphia 76ers #20 - Jason Smith

2 Points, 5 Rebounds, 1-6 FG on 7/6
-There is no question that Smith seemed out of sorts today. He failed to differentiate himself from the other players on the floor, and didn’t show off any of his athleticism.
-For what its worth, Smith’s jump shot didn’t appear to be as fluid as usual, indicating that he may be a bit nervous.

7 Points, 3-6 FG, 8 Rebounds on 7/7
-Smith has really struggled to separate himself from the pack, but did get the chance to show the potential the made him a first round pick.
-On one sequence, Smith tipped a Detroit miss to a teammate before beating everyone down the floor for a big two-handed slam.
-Smith will need to work on the mechanics of his jumper if he wants to see the immediate playing time many expect him to see. His release point hasn’t looked entirely consistent through his first two games, as he seems to be pulling the string a bit. In warm-ups he looked fine, so he might just be nervous.
-Regardless, Smith is not a player Sixer fans should expect anything immediate from.

12 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks, 4 turnovers, 5-10 FG, 2-2 FT on 7/9
-Jason Smith started off the game roughly, missing on a few mid-range shots, but his touch came around as the game went on, as he hit on a few from 10-18 feet out, including a spinning fadeaway from 15.
-Smith didn’t fare too well when he tried to take his man to the rim, missing badly on a couple of occasions, not having the strength to force his way to the rim yet.

10 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals, 4-11 FG, 2-3 FT on 7/10
-Jason Smith had a rough start to the game, missing on most of his outside shots, as he’s done all week here in Vegas.
-As the game went on, Smith did manage to hit a few mid-range shots, and also scored on a nice runner in the lane that he was also fouled on.
-Smith has done a good job rebounding the ball here, but has really struggled getting his scoring game going, not yet fully adjusting to the higher level of competition.

New York Knicks #23 - Wilson Chandler

12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 turnovers, 5-10 FG, 0-2 3PT, 2-2 FT on 7/9
-Wilson Chandler had a strong debut for the Knicks, showing confidence and solid form on his outside shot out to NBA three-point range, converting on two shots from around 18 feet in the game.
-Chandler finished well in transition, getting out on a few occasions, and starting a few breaks himself with weakside steals.
-Chandler played good, tough defense in general, making a few deflections leading to turnovers in addition to his picks.

Houston Rockets #26 - Aaron Brooks

21 Points, 1 Rebound, 8 Assists, 2 Turnovers, 5 Fouls, 6-14 FG, 3-6 3FG, 6-8 FT on 7/10
-Brooks had a great debut, knocking down his shots and distributing the ball.
-Brooks possesses a solid shooting stroke, and really caught fire during the second half. His first step allowed him to get to the line, and but he still needs to work on finishing with contact.
-Brooks found teammates for easy baskets throughout the game and showed very good court vision.

Detroit Pistons #27 - Arron Afflalo

14 Points, 5-13 FG, 2 Assists on 7/7
-Afflalo was aggressive with the ball on night long, and tried be assertive both with his shot selection and dribble drives.
-In trying to get to the rim, Afflalo showed much better dribbling ability then he showed as a collegiate.

11 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 turnovers, 4-13 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-3 FT on 7/9
-Afflalo didn’t shoot for a high percentage here, but took mostly good shot attempts, and looked made some very nice plays with the ball.
-Afflalo had some nice, crafty finishes around the hoop, showing good ability to adjust and good ability to draw contact near the rim.
-Afflalo exhibited nice court vision on a few occasions, dishing out a few good passes.
-Afflalo wasn’t hitting his long-range shots here, but that’s something that should come around with time.

Phoenix Suns #29 - Alando Tucker

7/9
-Tucker didn’t look great today, but managed to get to the line often enough to still be effective.
-Tucker’s jump shot doesn’t appear to have improved much, as he made an NCAA three-pointer, but missed a few shots from around the range.
-Tucker still isn’t a pure enough perimeter player to fit perfectly into the Suns’ system.

Houston Rockets #31 - Carl Landry

14 Points, 4 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 1 Steal, 1 Turnover, 2 Fouls, 7-12 FG on 7/10
-Landry did a great job of getting off the floor to get rebounds and eating up space down low.
-Landry showed good range, hitting one eighteen footer, but will need to become more consistent from that distance.
-Landry also showed the ability to run the floor and finish effectively with contact.

San Antonio Spurs #33 - Marcus Williams

3 points, 2 rebounds, 1-7 FG, 1-2 FT on 7/9
-Marcus Williams really struggled here, constantly settling for contested, fadeaway shots that he wasn’t able to convert on.
-Williams’ one made shot of the game was on a lay-up cutting to the basket, which is something he should do more of, as opposed to settling for off-balanced perimeter shots.
-Williams’ defense was inconsistent, at times playing good defense on Gerald Green, but at others not looking so formidable.

Dallas Mavericks #34 - Nick Fazekas

4 Points, 1-7 FG on 7/6
-Fazekas didn’t really look comfortable on the floor. His shot looked less natural than usual primarily because of a lack of lift created by mechanical footwork. He played almost strictly on the perimeter and his shot wasn’t falling for him at all.

7 points, 8 rebounds, 3-6 FG, 0-1 3PT, 1-1 FT on 7/11
-Nick Fazekas had a pretty non-descript game, not getting many opportunities with the ball and not showing anything we haven’t seen before.
-Fazekas got stuffed on one post-up opportunity early in the game, something that will be a concern for him in the future with his lack of lift.
-Fazekas did have one nice hook shot in the post for an and-1, though, and also converted on a 10 footer with a hand in his face.
-Fazekas did a good job boxing out on the boards, and was fighting for a lot of rebounds, but sometimes he was outmuscled for the ball.

Boston Celtics #35 - Glen Davis

3 Points, 6 Rebounds, 8 PF on 7/6
-Davis looked a little sluggish today, and had a very tough time hedging the pick and roll due to his poor conditioning and lateral quickness.
-He didn’t look to score very often offensively, and appears to be satisfied with letting Leon Powe do most of the dirty work in the paint.

12 Points, 9 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 1 Steal, 1 Block, 5 Turnovers, 4 Fouls, 2-8 FG, 8-10 FT on 7/9
-Davis played an inspired game tonight, running the floor much harder than usual.
-He used some effective spin moves around the rim, but didn’t create a lot of space for himself leading to numerous trips to the line.
-Davis rebounded out of his area, and showed some football-like explosiveness with a big block on one possession.

Minnesota Timberwolves #41 - Chris Richard

7/9
-Richard looked good in somewhat limited time.
-Richard is very similar to Craig Smith in that he gets his by working hard in the paint.
-Richard converted on a dunk and a tip in, but came up short on his only back to the basket opportunity.

NOK Hornets #43 - Adam Haluska

7/9
-Haluska made a number of outside shots today, but also contributed with some nice drives and smart passes.
-Haluska showed a nice reverse layup off a crossover that really hasn’t been part of his game in the past.
-Haluska even blocked a shot on defense leading to an easy basket on the other side of the floor.

Dallas Mavericks #44 - Reyshawn Terry

8 Points, 6-6 FT on 7/6
-Terry didn’t put up great numbers, but deserves recognition for the work he put in on the defensive end.
-His athleticism and smooth game seem like they would be well suited for the NBA game.

7 Points, 2-7 FG, 1 Assist on 7/8
-Terry didn’t see a lot of minutes today, but wasn’t his usual self when he was on the floor.
-His shot wasn’t falling today, but that didn’t deter him from using his quick hands to make an impact on the defensive end.

Los Angeles Clippers #45 - Jared Jordan

3 Points, 4 Rebounds, 6 Assists, 1 Turnover, 1 Foul, 1-4 FG, 1-2 3FG on 7/10
-Jordan had his hands full with Aaron Brooks, but still managed to play a good game.
-Jordan’s ability to create plays for his teammates made him standout amongst LA’s other guards.
-Jordan showed some nice range on one NBA three-pointer, but still needs to develop his jumpshot further.

Washington Wizards #47 - Dominic McGuire

10 Points, 7 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 2 Steals, 3 Turnovers, 4 Fouls, 4-6 FG, 2-2 FT on 7/10
-McGuire is the kind of player that is hard not to like. He works hard, is athletic, and plays a quietly effective game.
-McGuire finished around the rim extremely well, making a number of acrobatic layups around defenders in transition. He doesn’t possess a great jump shot, but is extremely good at playing the efficient offensive game that he does.
-McGuire rebounds well on both ends of the floor, utilizing his size and athleticism to clean the glass.

Portland Trail Blazers #52 - Taurean Green

5 Points, 1 Steal, 3 Turnovers on 7/8
-Green gets special mention here for showing great hustle on a handful of occasions. He shows no hesitation when it comes to getting dirty and diving for loose balls.
-Offensively, he’s playing off the ball an awful lot, which obviously doesn’t suit his strengths.

Philadelphia 76ers #55 - Herbert Hill

11 Points, 5 Rebounds, 1 Block on 7/7
-Hill had a better game than he did yesterday.
-He was constantly active, and is the type of intelligent post player than doesn’t make a lot of mistakes out on the floor.
-His hands are terrific, and he’s very reliable around the basket with his assortment of post moves.

9 points, 1 rebound, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers, 4-5 FG, 1-2 FT on 7/9
-Herbert Hill had some nice possessions working out of the mid and low post here, scoring on mini hook shots and fade-away jumpers from the 5-10 feet range, which is his specialty.
-Hill hasn’t made much of an impact on the boards here, though, not possessing much in terms of fundamentals in that area, so he’s realizing that his athletic tools alone won’t be enough to get the job done on the glass at this level, which was what he relied on mostly at Providence.
-Hill made some nice weakside blocks in the game, coming from out of position and using his physical tools to patrol the lane.

Detroit Pistons #57 - Sammy Mejia

12 Points, 2 Rebounds, Game Winning Shot on 7/7
-Mejia was solid but not spectacular, scoring with his typical craftiness getting in the lane.
-He hit a turnaround rainbow turnaround jumper early in the game that got the crowd’s attention before ending the game with a corner three to beat the buzzer.

2 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 3 turnovers, 1-4 FG, 0-2 FT on 7/9
-Mejia blended in with his team well, not doing anything outstanding but not making many mistakes.
-He made a few nice passes on drives and cuts to the basket, exhibited good court vision and decision-making abilities.
-Mejia looks a step slow against this higher level of competition, and his ceiling as a player will likely be limited due to his lack of speed with the ball in his hands.
