More on Delly & Cherry
Kurt Helin writes about Las Vegas Summer League play, in particular certain northern California-connected talents:
Mathew Dellavedova has been maybe the best point guard in Las Vegas. Not in terms of pure talent, but because he can run an offense and always seems to make the right play. Summer League is where players come to get noticed and often point guards don’t want to just organize and run the offense. Dellavedova is doing just that. He got into the paint and can finish (3-of-4 in the paint in this game) also got a nice outside catch-and-shoot motion, which could come in handy with that LeBron James guy on the Cavs now...
...One of the most fun matchups Monday: Cleveland’s Will Cherry vs. Philadelphia’s Casper Ware. To lightning quick, dogged point guards who just went back and forth. Both got overlooked because they are under six foot but both are the kinds of guys who could latch on with an NBA team as a third point guard, said Sixers Summer League coach Chad Iske.

Assessing a trio of Nor Cal talents playing in Orlando
Carl Berman/Netscouts Basketball on the Orlando summer league play of a trio of northern California talents:
Aaron Gordon, Orlando Magic (Pick 4): Gordon struggled during the summer league, averaging 7.8 points and 5.0 rebounds per game while shooting 35 percent from the field. He was 0-of-8 from three-point range and 2-of-20 from outside of the paint. Gordon will need to improve his offense, but his defensive abilities will earn him minutes as a rookie. He’s a freak athlete who can defend multiple positions. At 6-foot-9, Gordon should see minutes at both forward spots.
Xavier Thames, Brooklyn Nets (Pick 59): Thames struggled during the summer league. He was 7-of-26 from the field (27%) as he averaged 3.6 points and 2.4 assists per game. He showed the ability to score at San Diego State, so it’s certainly too soon to write him off.
Tyler Johnson, Miami Heat: After not playing in Miami’s opening game, Johnson had a breakout summer league. Johnson showed freakish athleticism and was fearless when attacking the rim. He had some highlight dunks to showcase his leaping ability. Johnson was also able to knock down open shots, averaging 12.8 points per game on 17-of-28 (61%) shooting. He will face questions about his size for the shooting guard position at 6-foot-4, but he’ll have plenty of opportunities to play overseas if he doesn’t earn an NBA roster spot. There’s no doubt that he was one of the most productive players in Orlando.
