Glad you chose this time, then. Jalen Duren had a lower FG % and fewer blocks, and barely averaged more points per game despite taking more shots. 

Offensive Rating:
Duren 112.6
Williams 142

Defensive Rating:
Duren 91.9
Williams 93.2

Blind as a bat.
 

LOLOLOLOL please don't compare those two..... Mark Williams was a 5th option unathletic lob threat who was decent in college because of his height. His numbers and percentage may look okay b/c all he did/can do is catch a wide open lob. Duren almost beat the Houston Cougars who were just as good as Duke by himself. Why were teams begging to trade for Duren and not Williams?

Down 42-37 at the half to Indiana.

- Kai Jones looks like an NBA player, his three isn’t falling but he just looks and plays like an NBA player. He’s got 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block.

- Nick Richards looks to have improved some, he’s moving with much more fluidity. He has 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 block.

- Mark Williams is struggling on offense but he controls both the paint and glass with ease. He has 3 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 block.

- Bryce McGowens is a very active player, he might be a volume shooter right now but if he ever becomes consistent then he’ll be a steal. He has 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists.

- JT Thor hasn’t had it tonight and looks out of sorts. He has 2 points and 2 rebounds.

Nice recap. I don't trust how guys look in summer league. Remember those first couple MKG games where he looked like he could play some offense?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
