Last Cavs game till October, come and watch the SL squad and Bronny James!
Who: Cavs vs Lakers
When: 9pm Eastern
Where: ESPN
Meet your opponent: Los Angeles Lakers
This Lakers SL team is bad, they are 1 – 5 in combined SL play this year
They are, however, coming off a thrilling win vs the Hawks.
Those Hawks were also winless in SL
This should, in the least, be a competitive game for this up and down Cavs SL team
The spotlight is on Lebron James Jr, who had his best game of SL vs the Hawks, but has been pretty pedestrian through out averaging just 6/3/1 on absolutely terrible splits of 29% fg and 10% 3pt
Giving him a guaranteed multi year deal shows you how much pull LBJ still has, i'm not sure bronny could make a Big 3 squad let alone an NBA one w/o the last name
Cavs Summer League Team Thoughts
No one looked good in the last game vs Golden State, but Jaylon Tyson turned in by far his worst game of summer league, he had looked good even when the offense around him was bad but he turned in a stinker, I expect a bounce back as he's too good to lay duds two games in a row
I will revoice that Emoni has regressed in shot selection, he needs to work on being a catch and shoot spacing wing, having him play this iso 'point forward' role is just not going to work (it didn't work in Memphis either)
At one point in yesterdays game Luke Travers had a wide open 3 from the wing vs the zone, he passed up the shot to force a bad pass that led to a TO and a fastbreak, that in a microcosm is why he won't make it to the league..he HAS to take that 3 to enforce some gravity, his inability to shoot forced a high IQ player into a needless (it didn't get anyone a scoring opp) TO…I think the Luke Travers experiment is over
DJ Burns ceiling remains Darnell Jackson, I don't think he is even going to get a 2-way, if I were him i'd start working on my pass sets and work my way up a practice squad in the NFL
One last game! Come talk Cavs bball with us!

Let em know
The Travers experiment will be around longer then the Bates or even CPJ experiments will be.
CPJ is getting cooked on both ends by summer leaguers. He’s regressed significantly and showed why he was a UDFA.
Bates should have been a 4 year college player and been done after that. He’s just way too slow at everything he does, and being 6’9 can’t play a lick of defense.
I’d like to see that guard from va tech get a training camp invite. He’s got a really good looking shot.
Does anyone know if Cam Spencer was signed or was this his summer league try out team? He looked great as an off ball guard.
