    Elmore. With that hairline and balding, he's seen things.

    They couldn’t find any semblance of point guard for summer league?

    Adou looks poor at the half, against much better G league competition he looked dominant - here he looks out of control.

    Carr can shoot, he is going to be a great shooter.

    I hate summer league passing. Sloppy and over telegraphed.

    Manon could be the third best defender on the adult team if he could stop fouling

    Thiero is maybe working on stuff the Lakers asked him to, because whatever it is doesn't look right other than his drives. Should be doing more against this competition. Not thrilled with how the J looked in the first half.

    They added a couple guys much more capable than the past couple years but either haven't played yet or haven't figured it out tonight

    Adou calmed down a bit this half, playing good D. He shut down Yale on multiple possessions and forced two turnovers. That's where I think he needs to make his impact, on the defensive end.

    Adou is so damn athletic. Just out of control at the moment.

    Carr at 19 points. All his shots are going to be there at the NBA level, they're just open 3's, a nice curl off a screen and a backdoor cut. He just needs weight.

    Q3
    McCray: not a great showing as a ball handler

    Austin Jr: wrong role

    Thiero: outside of the and-1 midway through the Q, looked out of sorts

    Kaluma: liked his offensive movement better than Thiero's.

    Carr: confirmed, can shoot
