So I went to Vegas during summer league. Not really for summer league but I timed it that way so I could go to some games. I preordered day passes for Friday and Saturday. Supposedly just for the Thomas and Mack center games but you could easily get into the Cox center for the other games even though I didn't have tickets. The courts are connected and you could walk over mid game and find an empty seat. I probably watched 7 games over the two days out of 16 total.
I wouldn't say its the most memorable experience ever because most of the players are unknown but its plenty of fun for a fan.
Kept me from gambling every day. Lol.

So, who do you think is the next Fred VanVleet?

The next Caboclo! Some promising young dude who's 2 years away from being 2 years away from being 2 years away.

So, who do you think is the next Fred VanVleet? The Raptors didn't put together much of a team this year. Two best players to watch were Boucher and the young kid they stole off Denver's summer league team, Terrence Davis. I like Davis because he has a full range of skills and is a good athlete. Refine those skills and you have another Norm Powell, maybe better. |

He looks a lot more confident out there. I'd love to see him be a season long rotation piece for the Grizz next season.

Bruno did some nice things that translate well to his NBA role as a 3 and D wing. It's hard for me to get too excited about a 5th year NBA guy putting up 12 pts/6 rbs on middling efficiency against summer league scrubs. I'm more excited about Chris Boucher to be honest. Sure, same caveat, he's 26 and is a grown ass man playing against younger, raw competition. But I'm all-in on Boucher because I like to pretend Chris Boucher/Chris Bosh is a Leon Sandcastle/Deon Sanders scenario.
"Doctors won't medically clear Chris Bosh because of his heart condition? No man, I'm not Chris Bosh, I'm Chris...Boucher! Oui oui"
