I'm assuming everybody else already went to bed because of how depressing this is

Anybody feeling depressed at a Nuggets summer league game needs to touch grass. Strawther is the only player on this roster who may be in the rotation this year. The guys who don't look great are second round picks on miniscule cap hits. It's really irrelevant.

Tyson just got faked out of his shoes by a stationary player

I'm not sure if you've noticed or not but there's literally nobody between Jamal and Pickett on the depth chart and there's nobody behind Strawther on the depth chart. Tyson, Pickett, Nnaji, and Jordan are all utter wastes of roster spots and Holmes is out for the year. That's 1/3rd of our full time roster that is straight up not contributing anything (on court) this season. We have thus far replaced KCP, Holiday, Reggie, CG, Key, and Huff with Trey Alexander and PJ Hall (and Vlatko being hopefully healthy). That's our offseason in terms of functional changes.

Softball questions but Calvin was almost unbearable to listen to tbh.
Edit: ohhh... there is more.

At least Hall is much more in control this game than last game. No fouls or turnovers yet.

Please put Strawther on ice for the rest of Summer League. We cannot recover if he gets hurt too.

Summer League is incredibly irrelevant. This is not NBA basketball. Very little of it transfers to anything that matters. Strawther looking the part is basically the only thing that actually matters for the real team. Pickett, Tyson, two-ways are just not that big of a deal. If they're needed to play this year, the year went off the rails. You and I both know Pickett isn't going to be the backup PG, so I'm not going to invent fear that he is because the July 14th depth chart says he is.

Put Strawther on ice after this one. Pleased to report he's too good for Summer League.

You and I both know Pickett isn't going to be the backup PG, so I'm not going to invent fear that he is because the July 14th depth chart says he is. Even if we sign another PG (and I think we will), we're still one injury to Jamal (or old man Russ?) away from Pickett being out there. There are only 10 other spots besides the 5 we've already wasted. That's the concern. Murray/PG2 Braun/Strawther MPJ/Watson Gordon/Vlatko Jokic/Saric That's it. We cannot afford a single injury to that group because the 5 other guys are unplayable. And we don't even know who PG2 is yet. You can say "it's not a big deal" all you want but we ended up using 49/50 Gillespie games last year and we used 50/50 Davon Reed games a couple years prior. Downgrading the deep bench makes us a weaker regular season unit. Period.

Don't see the point in playing Strawther at this point. Nuggets have shifty depth. Can't afford to lose any rotation minutes because of a pickup game.

Announcer 1: "Pickett is going to have a chance to earn some rotation minutes" Announcer 2: "I love your optimism"

Hall has decent touch around the rim and good passing skills for a big.
He can't rebound though.

Yet again they're exclusively running Pickett with another point guard. It's comical.
