To be fair, NBA summer league defense is truly atrocious…like James Harden/Luka Doncic bad.
I watch a bit of one of the games the other night...It is AAU ball on steroids.
Those guys all know not to play D, not to get physical, none of that in the Summer League.
He looks “fresh”… if his knee ever cooperated, this is the player he COULD be with some work and a lot of luck.
Arthur Kaluma scored 35 for the Lakers last night for cripes sake.
Anyone can score and rebound in the NBA if you actually try. No one plays defense or crashes the boards with intent.
This is the best answer. He's a good player. But he seems to get worn down as a season goes along. Remember last December or early January, there was talk that he was an All-American candidate. He's going to be a good pro. Not an NBA pro, but D-League or Europe somewhere, absolutely.
