Pacers SL Team
The Pacers have gone 1 – 3 (same as us) so far in SL
They have a few pros on the team
- Johnny Furphy, was likely in consideration around our pick, has played well in summer league and is looking like he might have been a steal in the 2nd round
- Ben Sheppard, 1st rounder (#26) last year out of Belmont (D Windler shoutout)
- Tristan Newton and Enrique Freeman, 2nd rounders this year
The Jaylon Tyson show
Jaylon has looked (by far) like the best player on the team.
When asked to run the offense as a point forward last night he went off, carrying the team to within a possession of the win despite off nights for our other prospects.
21 PTS, 9 ASTS, 9 REBS, 6-8 from the floor
You see the Josh Hart comps floor-burn effort, crashes the offensive boards, lesser explosion that is made up for with strength and IQ
Could the rookie crack the 10 man rotation early in the season?
Hunter Catoor is getting married and (to my knowledge) won't be back in time for this game. I thought he played as well as anyone not named Jaylon Tyson yesterday. Interesting sniper combo guard who is more athletic than you would think in 1:1 defense and transition. We don't need another undersized scoring guard but he could be a fun player on the charge in the very least.
If nothing else, watch Pete Nance try to play center and appreciate having two on the team.
Have fun watching, will have to miss this one unfortunately
