Drew Hanlen works hard man.

Some of the other skills trainer just do two sessions. where pros come in for the morning session and the pm session they’re not working one or two at a time either sometimes its about 5 dudes doing the same thing not really specialised.
 
None of this recent Rockets news concerns me...

Rockets in 8.

And Fultz still needs to retire man.
 
This is the reason they did not show his shot. Putting all this negativity aside. He doesn't need his shot to be looked at through a microscope. Let him work on his physical and mental game without the distractions.
 
It’s kind of funny seeing the difference between this thread where a lot of folks seem to be of the opinion that Fultz automatically didn’t lose the shiftiness and jumper from Summer League while in the Draft/Rookie thread people are basically saying Summer League doesn’t matter :lol

The fact that he’s not playing Summer League says a lot to me. I’d be chomping at the bit to show my contemporaries what time it is and shut my haters up.

Some dudes are just built different.

He should be taking every opportunity to prove himself and change the narrative on him. IMO, he should either be tucked away working on his shot in the gym or playing Summer League. Him being at Summer League and not playing isn't a good look.
 
Melo has to be trolling with saying the expectation was that when he went to OKC that the top 3 players would all avg. 30 points a game.

Summer League doesn't matter.....for him going into his 2nd year. Can't leave that caveat out. We already seen him stand out in Vegas and things fell apart when the season rolled around.

What value is there in having him stand out on this level again? He's not going to shut haters up in summer league. Not ones that are actually being rational in their critique.

They're going to say do it when it matters.

It's like a boxer who wins a match against a weak opponent. Moves up a level, gets knocked out by the stronger opponent. Takes some time off to train and get better. Would you want to see him fight the weaker person he already beat...or see him fight the stronger person he lost to?

If all of ya'll just wants to see how his shot looks...why wasn't anyone pressed for Lonzo to play summer league?

And get hurt? Why? I care about the regular season. You already lose when you start caring about what haters think. Haters are always gonna be there. Ben Simmons could win MVP and he’d still have haters. Ask Lebron

Yeah man, he don’t need to be playing SL.

Them boys scrappy and will do anything to earn a roster spot it’s a grind it out game in Vegas. He needs to be in the lab daily working on his shot and game.

I played with a summer league squad in Orlando and it’s nothing like NBA basketball. Guys fighting for they livelihood out there

I just don't get the rationale. :lol:

Just a weird *** time we're in when we're really critiquing workout videos :lol:. None of this **** matters.

If he has it...he has to show me in October. He can't show me **** in Vegas or on Instagram. And if he "needs" this for his "confidence"...then he already failed.

Could Ben Simmons win MVP and still have no semblance of a jumper, though?

If the lakers don't think they can wjn this year, shouldn't they just tank and try to get the #1 overall pick in the next draft? No moral victories with that storied organization.
How in the hell do we tank with Lebron???

This guy must be making the BAG June - October.

Lol. Are you talking about a 6 year old or a pro athlete?
