Keep your eyes on

  • Kuminga and Moody, of course, the recent draft picks. 

  • Justinian Jessup, the legendary late second rounder from last year who has been developing in the Australian NBL. Looked a bit slow out there on Tuesday and bricked a lot of shots. But it’s only the first game. Also note: 3 pt line for NBL is FIBA/WNBA/NCAA line at 6.75m = 22’ 1.75”, NBA is 23’ 9” = 7.29 m

  • Gary Payton II, signed but only partially guaranteed. He’s auditioning to the Warriors and the world for an NBA spot. Didn’t play on Tuesday.

  • Ryan Taylor, sharpshooter toiling in the G-League who may get a two-way this year. Kind of passive on Tuesday.

  • Jordan Schakel. Undrafted 3-and-D guy with really good shooting stats. Looked pretty good on jumpers on Tuesday.

  • Jaquori McLaughlin, a huge favorite of Perks, who is threatening to write an in-depth piece about him. Some good flashes.

  • Poole, Paschall and Mulder. Will be a surprise if they play at all. 

On Tuesday

Jordan Poole’s spent portions of the game tonight behind the bench talking up Kuminga, Moody and Wiseman about what’s happening on the floor. He’s now the de facto veteran of the Warriors’ young core.

Highlights from Justinian Jessup's Summer League debut: 11pts, 6rbs, 4asts, 2stls, 1blk, on 5/16 FG, 1/8 3PT. Started off cold, but found a rhythm mid-way. Showed off some intriguing shot creation and secondary playmaking. Some concerns with lateral quickness at the NBA level.

  • Practicing the basic split cut. I like.

  • Jessup catch and shoot off pin down, fires it up, miss. Then a nice steal followed by a sloppy turnover. Jessup with a block two plays later. Good patience at the end of the clock, passing to "shackle" Schakle who cans the 3. Schakle airballs a floater next play.

  • booo I wanted to see Davion iso Jessup. Passes out of it

  • McLaughlin looks pretty skittish on O to start, Shackle is automatic on any open jump so far

  • Davion with some pretty good passes so far, many not converted to points.

  • Nifty little interior pass from Jessup. He's actually playing with a lot of composure. His shot not falling though.

  • [on EvanZ comment on Jessup] Everyone gives EvanZ Smiley vibes

  • From the first quarter: Davion plays with a lot of charisma. You want to see what he's going to do. Good passes. An uncoordinated defense has no hope of stopping his drives.

  • Ryan Taylor was made to not shine in this setting. His handle doesn't look confident, and when he cuts, the team won't or can't find him.

  • Schackel / Jessup / Taylor / McLaughlin in. This is the shooting lineup. Relatively speaking. I know you can't tell yet.

  • [Abaddon: they are shooting.] Exactly! Maybe your specifications should have been more specific!!

  • Schakel is a deadeye shooter. And that was a beautiful bounce pass from Pemberton on the break.

  • Anthony Randolph officially destroyed forever any model tying summer league performance to NBA performance

  • Jessup is out of rhythm. Davion is fun as f to watch, but I think the results have been very erratic on O. A number of good plays on defense though, with a steal and stoning McLaughlin on the iso.

  • Best play from Jaquori so far... jab towards screen, man gets hung up, quick decisive pull-up for 3.

  • Definitely want to see more of Schakel in the future.

  • I can already tell Mitchell will have nothing to prove at this level. He can get to the rim or get his shots against disorganized teams. Will be fun to see him against NBA teams.

  • Yes, post-game concert right outside the arena... when I went two years ago, it was Lil Jon

  • Davion with a cool looking drive with a huge pushoff and then a turnover. Davion is electric, but he has some amount of flop in his game.

  • Not sure why Schakel generated so much more offense than Taylor. Maybe luck, maybe Taylor was a bit passive cutting off-ball...?

  • Jessup's team defense looked competent. But certainly a couple of plays when a perimeter player blew by him.

  • Glad the team got practice running their one set... HORNS, cross-screen of elbows, pass to one elbow, look at strong side corner for backcut or handoff, if nothing, pass back to weak side for a pin down. Always very interesting to me what choice the coaches make for the very first Kerrball set to teach players.

  • Okay, tomorrow's game is 5pm Pacific, supposedly on ESPN U. U either stands for University, or u-substitution, can't remember which

If Kuminga grows even an inch or two, oh man. With the way he already attacks the rim, we might be seeing mini Giannis with an outside shot in 5 years. In terms of physique, he looked like the most mature guy on the floor. I expect him to be bench pressing Wiseman in practice.

He's also got way more passing ability than I think any draft preview gave him credit for... yes, he has tunnel vision at times and his passes might be off or late but at least you see him trying to make the play.

Moody was pretty much as advertised. Shot, defended, rebounded well. Used his length to bother opponents. Had trouble creating off the dribble... this will only improve with time as he gets more burst in his first step.

Kuminga was so noticeable… like everywhere all the time. Both good and bad (mostly good). Even when he wasn’t on the floor, it was noticeable that he was absent.

Moody seemed invisible in a good way. He showed up to move the ball and finish plays.
