"Reviewing the WCC guys at Summer League"

Excerpts: 

"Jamaree Bouyea, two-way contract (Heat)

A highlight-reel regular across six games between Sacramento and Vegas, Bouyea put on a show for Miami after signing another two-way contract with the club just before the start of Summer League. Seven-to-two assist-to-turnover ratio and showed great burst attacking the paint. Wouldn’t be surprised to see his two-way converted to a standard contract sooner than later.

Frankie Ferrari, free agent

Averaged 13.6 minutes across five games for Memphis. Shot the ball well (54% FG, 38% 3FG) but didn’t get many opportunities (just 3.8 ppg). Had a few impressive and fun moments and was sporting a solid mustache. About what you would expect from a 27 year old overseas journeyman.

Brandin Podziemski, guaranteed contract (Warriors)

A featured player for the Warriors, as you would expect for a top-20 pick, but really struggled to find his shot (26.3% FG, 21.7% 3FG). Took enough shots to average 8.6 points, though. Solid with 6.8 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game. Much better shooting (47.8% FG, 33.3% 3FG) in two games in Sacramento.

Jordan Ford, free agent

Averaged 10 points in 22 minutes on great shooting splits (54/43/100) in two games in Sacramento before upping that to 16.3 points in 30.5 minutes over four games in Vegas. Without question one of the Kings’ best players and was a healthy scratch for the team’s final game, which means they’d likely seen more than enough from him. Ford spent last season with the Kings’ G-League affiliate and could well have played his way into a two-way spot.

Logan Johnson, free agent

Played in just one game for the Spurs in Sacramento (5.4 minutes, 4 points) and just one more for the team in Vegas (9.4 minutes, 3 points). Certainly not the kind of performance that led San Antonio to sign his former Gael teammate Tommy Kuhse after Summer League last year."

---------------------

Nick Paniccia: "Had a great time at Colgate MBB elite camp and tour of facilities. Thank you Coach Matt_Langel, Coach Pat_Moore, Coach Cam Crocker and Coach T Meaux for an amazing day at Colgate."
