[Nets Summer League Team Stats](https://imgur.com/a/oPQDtB7):

* only shot 40.7% from the field as a team
* led all summer league teams in steals (11.5 per game!)
* Noah Clowney is their young (18) 1st round pick PF/C out of Bama (kind of a gerald wallace type player, 7’2 wingspan!)
* David Duke SG was 3rd in g-league MVP voting last year
* RaQuan Grey 6’7 PF and a two way player for them (g-league/nba)

[Cavs Summer League Stats](https://imgur.com/a/2hdNdCJ):

* led all summer league teams in tot rebounds, def rebounds, 3 pt%, +/-
* Sam Merrill, Isaiah Mobley, Emoni Bates, Luke Travers, and Craig Porter Jr all have a shot at eventually playing in the league with some playing for the big club this year
* Merrill and Diop are likely sitting, Shariffe Cooper is probably out with a groin as well

    I think your dates are a little incorrect. Cavs play in semifinals Sunday and then the championship game is Monday night.

    CAN’T WAIT. I can’t believe how pumped I am for summer league lol.

    My mind has already been made up though: Merril and Mobley are big leaguers.

    Travers plays one more year overseas.

    Diop needs at least one more.

    Bates, Porter Jr., Mobley we’re going to be my sure bets as two ways, but I think Isaiah makes the team outright. Pete Nance then comes intriguing…

    S. Cooper is a good trade candidate. Might be able to get a future second for him. Nice talent but doesn’t fit our needs.

    I was feeling really good about our chances to win this thing but if Merrill, Diop, Cooper all don’t play I don’t really like our chances so much…Bates, Porter, Mobley gonna have to show out for us

    Got a question, do you know how many teams qualify?

    20 years ago, if you told me this was a future championship Cavs team, I’d buy it.

    So I’m confused OP, when is the game? You wrote “seeding will be determined late tonight” yesterday, so do you know what slot we play in today?
