It's a joke that our picks aren't playing. Bigger joke the excuse making here. Can not wait for the regular season to start so everyone can complain that Towns is playing. Why should he play? We're not winning the title. Don't risk getting him hurt.

Man I miss sports. Any of you old enough to remember sports?

I would like the team I support to for once to try to get better for more than one year in a row. Are you aware that you get better at playing basketball by playing.............wait for it.................blackjack. Wait, is it basketball? I think it is. Someone quick go tell Rosas. Seriously why is he hiding them? Because that's what he's doing. I guess Culver is a finished product and we will get that shitty player who last played like crap in the national championship game.

The thing that scares me is Josh Okogie looks just like another guy in summer league. That shot is ugly as hell, his dribble is as high as hell, and he needs to stay on his feet more or he's going to break a hip. Too out of control.

Luckily he's playing in summer league. They should hide him.

Naz looking nice! Hoping a solid year in the G league and we could have ourselves a winner from undrafted land.

Culver couldn't even play till a couple of days ago....what's the point, we already know he's going to be a future feature player....and our other scoring machine is hurt. Man I miss rationale.....are you old enough to remember sound rationale?

He's pressing trying to be the alpha since he's really the most seasoned rotational player from last year out there. He will fall in line and settle down once he's in a reduced role behind Wiggins and Cov. He needs to work on his shot, but leaving his feet....his dribbling, I'm chalking that up to pressing. Common for young players, even a year in.

i think terrell's on the way out the door. damn shitty time to go cold - but i just checked and i think he's something like 5 of 24 from the floor for SL. mclaughlin is looking pretty solid though. and i still like barry brown jr. but wait! we just signed tyrone wallace and - yes - got napier in a trade. how many third PGs can we carry? is there a limit?

What is the rationale for Culver not playing? Because...............why should he? Is that it? Or are we not taking chances of injury with just him? Okogie can play? KBD? That OK? So why again? Let's hear that sound rationale.

Those guys practiced with the team and coaches the two weeks before summer league started. Culver couldn't be around the team until July 6th.

Neither Okogie, KBD or anyone else on the roster have wowed me, but there they sit with a 4-0 record.

Exactly what Saunders said yesterday when he was with the announcers of the game. Culver hadn't even played 5 on 5 until after SL started. Didn't want to put him out there in that situation. The guy we traded for, pick #11, isn't playing either.
It's not an injury situation for Johnson, as fellow first-round pick Ty Jerome will also sit out due to a lack of practice and training time with the team.
But thrillkill is the guy that knows. :lol:

So is your argument that we are trying to win summer? Why would it matter if he practiced with the team? He needs a lot of work. He needs to play against better competition. He played poorly against good competition. So instead of getting him started we are gonna hold him back and let him face that competition in 3 months? Because why?

Culver apparently smart enough for rubes to think he can play PG but he can't figure out how to play 10 minutes of summer league without embarrassing himself. Bodes very well for the future.

The only reason you post is to get a rise out of people. Probably because no one pays attention to you in real life I'd imagine.

people on the local sports radio keep saying that the NBA rules is to blame for Culver not playing in Summer League. Well the Atlanta Hawks also traded up in the draft to take DeAndre Hunter and HE's playing in Summer League. In fact he played against the Twolves already in their first game. He also last played competitively in April against Culver and Texas Tech in the championship game.

be that as it may, it's still a valid complaint and needs to be fixed.
there needs to be a common sense way for the players to be able to be welcomed into the team and community, practice with the team and play in summer league, while still being able to work through the logistics on the back end.

for everyone to just sit on their hands and say that we have to pretend like this hasn't happened yet, for a multi billion dollar global business, is embarrassing.

i think we all could use some NBA Smell-o-vision.

maybe someone has posted this before - but there are quite a few of the top draftees not playing besides culver. zion, of course, yanked after one game. garland's not playing, but is he still rehabbing? i thought he'd gone thru a bunch of team workouts prior to the draft - so thought he was mended. both sekou doumbouya and goga bitadze aren't playing - are their euro teams still playing? romeo langford hasn't played - neither has kevin porter jr., p.j. washington, kz okpala, and talen horton-tucker. PLUS - and this, of course, is big for me - three players who went undrafted that i have interest in - sagaba konate, kerwin roach and simi shittu - all signed SL deals with teams but haven't played a minute. could it be that my Talentometer is on the fritz? it has Smell-o-Vision btw.
