The Euro big looks like he has some moves. Unfortunately, Summer League is the worst place for skilled bigs unless the other players are forced to get them involved.
The Knicks team is garbage. Harris is the only OK player and he is not needed.

Hot take - I know but watching some clips of Keels and his body and offensive game struck me as a right-handed Brunson.
Both thick players without elite quickness - Keels doesn’t have Brunson bag of moves obviously but his stroke is really solid, he can pass the ball ‘ see the floor and he gets to his spots in mid range, distance and even at the rim.
I get he looked heavy last year but at 19 - I think this kid could come on especially if he can get into best condition possible.
Hope he goes for 30 a game in Vegas and the replace Brunson chants begin
Like I said - Keels reminds me of Rick Brunson (today) and I hope he goes for 2 today

Yes sir
I like how Jeffries look. Roby is quiet but showing some flashes. No real PG or 3 pt shooting. Games alittle sloppy but I like some of the players on Philly squad.
Jesus - not sure you could play or look worse than Keels today —- looked like Giant Slug
At least the Martin kid has some size, strength, length but any jump shot would appear years away.
Roby was a dud as well - looked very timid to me for a guy with decent amount of NBA game time under his belt but 1st games is summer league are often ugly.

He didn’t look good - looked no different to me unfortunately.
Keels was -23 in 13 minutes and it felt worse.

Hoo boy
Maybe DaQuan Jeffries impressed me the most- he seemed to perform well. Perhaps he could be groomed to be our back up power forward.

I’m assuming your joking right? He’s 6’5 more like a third string SG or SF. Unless we make a trade then he gets moved up to backup.
The Euro big looked decent. Trevor Keels was -39 at some point. Now he's -28. Hillbilly Billy Crudup got some time. Goddamn. He looks like Jason Momoa if Jason just gave up on life. This SL squad is a joke. If the organization isn't gonna take this seriously, why should we?

Keels -29 in 19 mins tonight - Roby also -24 but I thought he was decent.
Kid Martin plays real hard and he actually put up 11 3’s (3-11) but good sign he’s not afraid to put some up.
The amounts balls we through to the other team today - of vey
Keels looking like Edmund Sherrod for fans back from 1982 trying to get the ball over half court without fumbling or falling down.

Keels looks like what I imagine it's like to play basketball in a Chewbacca outfit while high on peyote.
Man, forcing Thibs to watch these games is gotta be considered elder abuse, right? Oh, I forgot Thibs is a sadomasochist.

Add a -29 tonight. I wasn’t able to watch. Was he as bad as those +/- numbers are showing?

We're talking degrees of ineptitude here. I dunno 🤔 I'd he had -50, I don't know how shocked I'd be. But if it was -18 I'd be really shocked. I can say his crappy play can't be quantified. His weight can be measured and he is out of shape (is it PC to say fatass?).

Wow, and he's still able to keep up with Trevor Keels. 😏
