Which players impressed in SL? Who disappointed?

[dirkfansince1998]

Allen Graves once again flying under the radar. Averaged 17/7/3 + 3 stocks in summer league. Shooting 50% from three on more than 5 attempts. Not sure if Boozer or Wilson had more impressive runs.

Numbers aside, I was SUPER impressed with Wilson. I got that one way wrong pre-draft. I had no idea he had so much skill with the ball on the perimeter. He looks like the next evolution of Kawhi Leonard, which is not the impression of him I had going into the draft.

Certainly the flashiest prospect. One highlight play after another but also enough head scratchers for a compilation. Never seen a player that chased down his own live ball turnover as often as Wilson.

Me being right for once with Wilson is far more impressive.  *fist pump*

A list that does not portend greatness.

But it does show you will be a serviceable NBA player at least for 5 years. That also means something. Hard to stick in the NBA.

True.  You expect to get that from a lottery pick but the actual hit rate is probably lower than what most folks think.  I do think this was a particularly strong draft and predict that most of the top 11 guys will be at least that.
