New Orleans Pelicans vs Minnesota Timberwolves FULL GAME Highlights | 2024 NBA Summer League
[Music] Ean they’re looking to get him some extra work handling the ball in summer league there’s our starting and we’re ready to go Brandon Adair Dan Moser and Matt Calo are officials and we’re underway here at the Thomas and leagues in California California uh Utah had one as well Salt Lake City these are two teams this is the first time they’re getting out there’s Hawkins Aaron miles the summer league coach of the New Orleans pelicans and he echoed those exact statements like it may not be pretty as they look uh so quick to the rim so long you can throw it practically anywhere and he’s raised in Cameroon it’s amazing how quickly he has come there was actually Dillingham cut off seven to shoot will floater from Rob get to Spur always a shooter I’ll always be a shooter I just don’t get open as easily may not with three different Pelicans converging Mount University uh maybe a tenth of here today really turning out saw Rob dillingham’s numbers there out defense by desan Nicks but he can’t Corral the basketball nice find there’s Shannon with the Finish two great plays two way nice defensive play and Teran shanon Jr a young man that was their head coach a little bit later in the broadcast love a d Nicks another steal this time for [Applause] Min a Minnesota Timber rules coaching staff that’s in attendance because of the way they defended a year ago late clock Mei tried to bed by the Hornets but was told you know if you want to play Summer League you can as Hawkins nice job hitting out of the corner three not only did he stay deal you never know who’s watching and it it could also lead to Opportunities abroad there there’s just so many opportuni end up on NBA rosters some guys will end up playing overseas Shannon hit a three on the other end and then tried and again that’s the easiest way Cassy to make an impression on on somebody house here in Las Vegas checking out the young pups on the team got to be happy with thing that looks a little different to this point in the game as opposed to regular season NBA game Cy not a lot of Threes yes that’s a good point I mean you’re seeing base out uh four out three out steps where drives are playing Inside Out basketball taking three-point shots everybody like this as well they want to see if you’re able to break a guy down as opposed to people want to see it what’s your basketball IQ look like and a lot of times in a setting like this turns 24 at the end of the month played five years of college basketball nice find underneath and putting it up in Jordan four summer league C you and I didn’t even have him on the roster sheet uh and just steps on the court and gets a bucket I am not a late ad as you mentioned and app the Nets and the Pacers will get underway at 8:00 Eastern on NBA T mandate nowadays if you’re in that 6 69 610 range that is the one of the hardest things to make that adjustment as Miller misses I I should have maybe said that I might have jinxed it when I said he looks comfortable because I he definitely feels like he can step out and do that and now they want to see you be able to space the floor step out and be comfortable shooting thre well you mentioned we hadn’t seen a lot of Threes we just saw back to back for the Pelicans his brother shooting the basketball for the Boston Celtics it was shocking to me that it teams can make a decision to have no help responsibility on you and some of very difficult to find your Rhythm I think that’s what he ran into well the Pelicans have heated up and Jordan Hawkins helping them they have hit six now rookie from France the the French Revolution in basketball has certainly arrived we’ll see that later tonight with one versus two and there’s High feed knocking down percent for Paris basketball last year and here he is on display Nicks with a really sweet move see Edwards with the rejection on one and nicks tried the no look behind the back here’s the floater up no Hower tip yet hounds and goar are both adequate enough on the perimeter when they have to switch off when they have to close out when they have to cover ground to get the three points we’re going to hear from David Griffin their Executive Vice President of basketball operations he going to join us here at the start of the second quarter as high feed for minute all right George thanks a lot George with Jordan Hawkins of the Pelicans who are down one as we open up the second quarter and we welcome in their outstanding young man uh what what are the expectations here as we in terms of the workouts heading into this you know Jordan can get to a shot anytime he wants if we have any questions about whether or not he’s going to be able to score but what’s going to get him on the floor with our team and with the varsity in a consistent level an area of growth for him and we’re excited about this opportunity to give him that at the same time we’ve got a lot of ball dominance on team well speaking of the varsity uh there’s a gentleman sitting about 10 seats away from us deante Murray who uh going to be just from a vocal leadership standpoint he’s come in and be very Alpha right from the beginning he’s recruiting free agents for us um he about the group as a whole um I know everybody thinks we’ve got to invest in the center position a little bit we actually are really excited about what we have we’re creating for somebody else and most importantly he’s going to play both ends of the floor and that’s ball dominant in Atlanta and he was playing off of a ball dominant play Creator and TR matkovich is one of those we’re excited about what we have the potential to do to put him in position to go back to being more of a point guard a veteran that’s a player of his caliber rework his shot profile like catching up on the new CBA and it’s a new world out there with the first and the second aprons it’s going to take me a little while to figure all this out how um and I think again every team is learning on the Fly and when you were scouting him that Drew you to him when that pick was available you knew he was the right guy well excited about even that role uh if Carlo makovich is able to evolve as quickly as he’s showing he has so far that would be really helpful to position but he’s also as a human being exactly who we want to be you can see he can defend in space so everything two in a broadcast the Big 12 last year in Kansas City I’m surprised at just how quick he picks up things have you guys noticed that in the very short when he got there he was supposed to red shirt last year and he picked everything up so quick they realized they were going to play him then they realize they about Zion and the progress he’s made and physically where he’s at and how pleased you must have been last year to see out there almost every night yeah I think team in Paris that’s good we flew in here a couple nights ago and Team USA had their exibition win over Canada they had the long TR out of the corner for New Orleans Hawkins not there and a loose ball foul will go against caros he’s had games like that but there was something about that in that setting against That season had a very sour note to the ending but for Zion Williamson are teams that are going to be buyers out there but then you’ve got to resign Brandon Ingram so there there’s a lot there at play with that that’s going to Brandon Ingram figures into that too he’s had a number of things that have bothered him even didn’t finish the Year healthy and because of that didn’t play well one of those names that David Griffin brought up because uh they’re a little more devoid at Center a deep two there goes down Eve Mei their draft pick and makovich makovic when Griffin said his name right I was like wait a second obviously they’re seeing out of him on a daily basis we’re going to get a small sample in in summer league here in Vegas but they’re seeing the the work put actually was playing overseas legs and then came to the G League last year so I think we’ll be utilizing some of these guys they drafted in the second round like aov right in some cases you’re going to have undrafted free agents or guys that haven’t been in the league coming from Europe that are going to have an opportunity New York and now you’re telling everybody that as well what’s the guy trying to do own the city build a statute down yeah go ahead Brockington misses from finals this these are the three Marquee events of the year uh incredible what this has become oh what an incredible pass from two hand over the head Outlet pass basically traveling 60 plus feet in the air little back door action to open up and it’s a back cut to take advantage of Nicks trying to overplay three-point play for Hawkins he’s getting treated the way that like Zion gets treated by in in a regular locker room because it’s really kind of their and these guys know that it’s going to be built Jordan Hall with a three-pointer and the first six points of the third quarter belong to the Pelicans and there’s a three out of the corner anyways out for a long time and an extra turnover on the stat sheet Shannon saw the shot clocks I think B Nicks uh probably should have two Steals on his Ledger only one on the stat sheet last I we’ll move on to the playoffs as the Timberwolves defense gets the steel here’s Shannon with that left hand again and they couldn’t finish that is one of the areas that the Timberwolves are looking to improve upon as Isaiah brocking under some duress Dillingham catch and shoot no technical foul is called Go free throw probably one guy in this game with the cache to be able to get a technical foul age but I’m thinking of the back toback final four is as a member of the Kansas j-hawks for Mr miles as Dillingham converts Dillingham misses wide right one thing you can see about Dillingham and you mentioned it he is looking to catch these out with their veteran Mike connley and probably not a better guy to really learn from to get under the wing then with a guy like Mike Conley at that position first of all but also you know the blessing to be able to go with it as a top pick some injuries in his lone season with West Virginia first throw no good and they jog my memory back two weeks and you think of guys there with a lot of Green Room welcome it would have been a logical assumption to think that they would like Dillingham but they had already drafted a guard Stan castle with the fourth pick hence number 67 who’s got the ball right now he’s had a really nice summer league debut as he converts there defensively great ball pressure fighting over screens but then also converting and that fall pressure right there is what forced this turnover for Nixa in Rob Dillingham that was a guy that you wanted to go and and and acquire by that draft day trade which was really and they they were locked in and were aggressive and had they saw the opportunity um we were just excited I me he came to me the night before the draft he said putting this team together yeah again you know when Tim connley came in he did a great job of prioritizing defense and two-way players uh it definitely hurt to not be there but all credit to Dallas they were the better team we had a chance early in the series couldn’t get it done always denied the accusations and then was found not guilty he had been suspended for a time got 19 points got a couple of block shots and an 113 run right now by Minnesota as in terms of the front office Personnel the coaching staff what did they learn going through that and where do you that I think they’ve now addressed I think some backup guard minutes with Dillingham that was an area and roster as well but not top to bottom the level of accomplishment that Team USA has so it’s always a weird dynamic has the greater good and that’s what that that’s what you’re trying to accomplish in a very short period of time well Grant Hill did a nice job putting the team together e e e e e e for
