WEBVTT - Summer League Wraps Up

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.760
<v Speaker 1>What's up everybody? This is Trista.

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Please subscribe to this league, tap the bell, comment below

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.479
<v Speaker 2>and give us a light. How do you get people

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to watch basketball in August? It is a tough sell.

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Not gonna lie. I mean people are burnt out. One,

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I would say gambling. Gambling on summer League is now

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 2>huge comparatively to how it was in the last couple

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 2>of years.

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>And two, what's happening right now?

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Get the players on the court as soon as they

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 2>step off the stage with Adam Silver, essentially like we

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 2>have momentum. I don't even remember. You don't allow people

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 2>to forget who Kai Jones is. Basically like, don't allow

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 2>people to enjoy their summer. Don't get them excited in

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 2>for the NBA and Halloween. And I think that's what's happening.

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 2>That's the blessing of COVID. COVID is allowing us to

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 2>have no break between the NBA Draft and the Summer League.

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>We went from spending digging in the weeds. I was

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.919
<v Speaker 2>looking at YouTube. You are two comparables talking about prospects.

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:11.559
<v Speaker 2>We were like finding their upside, their ceilings, what their

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 2>floor is, what's the fit on the potential teams and

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 2>then boom, all of a sudden, you're watching Cam Thomas

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 2>hit game winners.

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 3>At thirty six, last nek thirty six.

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Last beautiful, or in the case of Evan Mobley, like

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 2>not bawling out. And so I love to me the

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>fact that we have condensed the draft to the Summer

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 2>League so that we are all still because I'm more

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 2>excited about the Summer League than ever before, and I.

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>Think a lot of people are.

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 3>I love it. I've always loved the Summer League just

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 3>because I just I love the draft so much. The

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 3>NBA Draft's always one of my favorite days of the year.

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 3>There's just so much can change on that day. And

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 3>then yeah, and then like not even a week later,

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 3>we get to go in and watch these guys actually

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 3>play and sometimes play with like second year player that's

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 3>promising is so yeah, No, the Summer league's awesome or.

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>NBA caliber talent like Kenneth f Reid or Michael Beasley.

0:01:59.680 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>You see.

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 2>So Also, the thing that people don't really realize unless

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 2>you're deep in the Summer league weeds are some of

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the wild ass Summer league rules. First of all, love

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 2>the ten minute quarters like FIBA teams are still putting

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>up one hundred and twenty points. Second teams are in

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 2>the penalty the best after the tenth foul. You're not

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 2>in the penalty until the tenth team foul or the

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 2>second in the last.

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Two minutes, so no more free throws, like guys are

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>just balling out.

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Ben Simmons would like that rule.

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons would love that rule.

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 2>First OT is uh and the overtime rules are wild.

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 2>The first OT is two minutes making in an all

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 2>out sprint, and then the second OT is sudden death,

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 2>which I think needs to just be implemented.

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 3>It'd be wild.

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>But no, I would love that.

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Could you imagine like a double OT in the finals

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 2>and it's like like the NFL first first bucket wins.

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 3>If that was it, then every team would have like

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 3>a seven foot eight guy that just that he's like

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 3>the thirteenth guy.

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it like penalty kicks though?

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Huh?

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:10.959
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that like penalty kicks?

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Though not quite?

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>But or or one on like.

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.280
<v Speaker 2>My favorite thing would be one on one, like literally

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 2>a game of one on one bucket aut like you

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 2>get five five tries, just like penalty kicks on both sides.

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Ball on one side of the court, ball on the

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>other side of the court.

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>You get your best ISO guy, get your best defender.

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Love that?

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, no, everyone would just have a tip off specialist,

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 4>the best. The best rule, however, to me, is the

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 4>funniest rule. Ten fouls like that to foul out. Also,

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 4>Ben Simmons would love that too. That's wild.

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>You have to do work to foul out of a

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Summer league game.

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Fouling out of a Summer League game pretty much assures

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 2>that you are a bust.

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's go in, let's.

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Go into all of the guys in recent memory that

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>a foul down the Summer League two thousand and six

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 2>number one overall.

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Pick Andrew Bargnani.

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>First person ever to foul out of a Summer League game.

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Bust two thousand and seven.

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Greg Oden fouled out of his Summer League and Summer

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 2>League debut.

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Bust.

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Jan Vesley did it in twenty ten. Bust for him

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.600
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and sixteen.

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Great, I mean like just an underrated comment by you.

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Two and sixty sixteen.

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Diamond Stone and Don Maker. Don Maker hit double digits

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 2>and fouled out as well. Bust and Marquise Chris averaged

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.039
<v Speaker 2>at one point eight and a half fouls per game.

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why that's so funny to be what

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>it is, eight and a half fouls a game in

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 2>the Summer League. If that's not one of the most

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 2>representative lists of busts in the last twenty years, I

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know what is. Like, give me ten bus off

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 2>the top your list. One of those guys is on

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 2>that list, for sure, mart Nanny, for sure. Ten fucking fouls, Jesus.

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 2>And you can't even like keep under that.

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>They're literally just trying.

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 2>To get you as many minutes in the game as possible,

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 2>and you can't.

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>You just keep hacking. You don't even know, Like, listen,

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>you got nine fouls. Maybe want to chill?

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:21.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you just get caught up in it.

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, it is great. I remember Chris falling out

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 3>all those games. That was funny.

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 2>And I love the announcers like Marquise Chris averaging eight

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 2>and a half fouls.

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Per game you only get six normally. It's crazy, tremendous.

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I would like it if they just called their own

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 2>foul like that would be fun. Like I just want

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 2>like straight up street.

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Ball out there in the indoor court.

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:48.279
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it's tremendous, tremendous. NBA Summer League ends Tuesday

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 2>with the late night finals between Boston and Sacramento. What

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 2>did I say about these dogshit teams going far into

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 2>the into the Summer League play in the Summer League championship.

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Literally, no one thinks either of these teams are gonna

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>do shit.

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 3>No, it means nothing, nothing.

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they made Peyton Pritchard leave Summer League because

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 2>he was scoring too many points so that he could

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>go to a pro am where he put up ninety

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 2>two points. Boston had five roster guys playing Nessmith Langford,

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 2>and I think Sacramento may have run out their entire team.

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 2>They may have to run out their entire team just

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 2>to even get a little bit of shine, Like this

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 2>is the Sacramento Kings, like one shining moment, This is

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>the this is the peak for them. Both teams undefeated

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 2>and again another little funny Summer League rule, It's not

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 2>about what your record.

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Is, it's the margin of victory and your record.

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 2>So New Orleans yesterday was gonna have to win by

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 2>eleven in order to make it to the championship game,

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 2>and they only won by one, so they don't get

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:00.080
<v Speaker 2>to go.

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Yep, that's the deal.

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 2>No rest for the weir And now that the Summer League

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 2>is over, we enter the NBA offseason, which lasts until

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>September twenty eighth, and that is the official start date

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 2>of training camp. Six weeks of no basketball. That's it,

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 2>literally only six weeks. To me, that's the best case

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 2>scenario for an NBA fan.
