Anyone else a total sucker for the NBA Summer League?

I have to hand it to the NBA. They time their summer league perfectly, particularly for guys like me who are all pumped up after the draft and are eager to have their $14.99 capitalized on.

The funny thing is...I am nearly always disappointed with the product that is the NBA Summer League: it tends to be a bunch of guys chucking up shots and taking away from the opportunities of the players we actually want to evaluate...

...but I still buy it...

Like Madden...every year...I buy an underwhelming product...I just cannot learn...

Yes.  I can't wait...   I love the SL.  I've watched it every year, and always will, as imo, this period between the NBA Finals and training camp is the WORST time of year in sports. 

If we don't call for coaches to be fired and players to be cut and seasons to be over in the SL game threads, we're doing it wrong.

Wife asked,"What did you spend $15.00 on from the appstore?"

I said Summer League.

"Is that another fantasy thing?"

"No, its like pre-preseason basketball for the rookies and hopefuls."

"Don't you complain that they make you buy football preseason games?"

"Yeah...(pause for pondering).  Touche"

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
