Lake City tap is up. OKC got a quick whistle on that foul. Front court comes in to Mitchell. He’ll drive and score it as he just really put on the jets and blew down that baseline pass over the top. Gi Jackson, good look. Splash. Got the three. So credit on that hand off. Silko showing his presence on both ends of the floor. Now a low inside tough with it and he stayed with it and he actually musled.
But when you can score a lot of those points off making the other team turn it over and get downhill on him
from the Netherlands played college hoop. But Bradley makes a pair of free throws. He’s going to get packed here in the first what less than five minutes of play.
Oh he better. He’s a sevenfooter. was he weighed what 260 maybe taking up space down there. So he’s got a nice block out rebound. Bacott two big played well here early. There’s a little one-on-one matchup and a whistle and a he’s worked that off the last week and camps have been open three or four days. You remember do early turnovers. Memphis with three. OKC with four. And we got foul. Foul number one. Mitchell makes the free throw. Nearly seven points a game.
Presenting from Belgium. A chance to
stray away from drafting people and not players. That’s a huge thing for them. Characteristics of winning players. Sami said they multiply at greater levels than talents of players. surprised their roster already is guys.
All right, thank you Lauren. Yeah, Sam Pressy does a marvelous job and how he built the title team in OKC is Reed has checked in. Started his college career at LSU went on to Gonzaga, finished at Wake Forest trying to come out a little bit too fast. Wells makes the first. Impressive as a rookie, play the 74 games all starts and he did finish third in rookie of the this year and I believe on a Memphis team that’s going to really need him job back inside. Tough tough shot. That’s your he can create off the dribble which is what he just did. And also they like his defensive ability as well. Wells it’s a triple has gotten hot after a slow start with seven Memphis 14. Most players in T you can speak to this once the injury occurs it kind of says okay I can be vulnerable to their Achilles or their knee but his was serious enough that obviously kept them out for it
very well in this opening quarter. runs one behind the back. Just committed three of those turnovers by Oak the toughest three ball and a little mini right here working for this bucket. Fleming Jr. just cannot hold him. Lets him get a little bit. Spencer looked to be a turnover. Able to reach out and save it. And that’s a shot pulling. GG Jackson had a rest beautiful last year last September limited him to just 29 games with Memphis. I think GG and also Here we go. Side up. Side out. Oklahoma City back to work. Mitchell a little push able to catch the rim and in a tough shot. Ball deflected. Pulling stumbles into the paint. Somehow unloads and hits. Beautiful shot. Spencer, good look. Rips it. Well, he can shoot the ball. We know that, right? It’s more for him about settling in. Barnheiser answers back
right here. Mouse in the house, but he throws it away. Bowler
did not take advantage down on that baseline. And that’s and then Oklahoma City takes advantage with nice downhill to the hoop. And then one situation for Young Blood big and keep that big man position more respectable when you got a young fell down. They need some rest. Can you go in and be impactful? You want to hold that lead or could you build on it? That’s the question. Small back on the court as well. Inside out, shot clock at two. Got a hurry floater.
Wow. How tough is that? Running down. He knows it’s a short shot clock. When do I get my shot up? And it’s a moving target, meaning he’s moving forward.
26 Thunder out front. Turn it over.
Yeah, I don’t agree with that call, but Well, awaiting the late game tonight with the hometown Jazz and the Philadelphia 76ers. That’s Chef Penso. Good patience lift over his shoulder
of Juan Tobage. Here’s the steal. He looks at the defender, goes to him, doesn’t avoid him,
and gets that bucket. You got a to summer league action rolls. A jumps into second.
They can build this summer, guys.
Lauren, it was one of many stories down the stretch run of the regular season where coaches were uh all of a sudden shown the door
then what we feel like is success Tom Tibido also show miss a gimme down low plugs a paint small drops a pass to the corner good look beautiful shot Memphis gets a
especially back in the day where it’s been bunch of run and gun I’m really glad these coaches are starting to focus on players playing both sides of the ball but both teams are really focused on getting stops and and getting the best play on the other end. Big West Freshman of the Year in 2022 player of the year in 2023. And you can tell that he has that maturity ship. But 18 and 19 year olds are just common. You really don’t know what you have until a year or two down the road. So kind of rolling the you’re going to be seen and have an opportunity.
They’ll find you and they’ll keep you. Mitchell space in the paint. left hand floats home too. Now we’ll step aside. There’s a little lefty the push shot is spotted up as well.
Yeah, and he’s in the right position. But Jay Gildis Alexander plays at his own pace and I’m sure that AJ
slides inside, took that ball down on his hip and was stolen away by Wells. He’ll lob it up. Beautiful. Wow.
Wells. TG Jackson Memphis by four. That’s a close shot though again holds his prove that Oklahoma City as well. Pull makes a first and two and stay close. They’re still celebrating in OKC.
Yes, they are.
Long time waiting down to 10 now. Goes right to left. Ball pops out of his hand. Tries the right side. Kovichic deep bang. Beautiful shot. Great release.
Regular season game. You’d be concerned about Sissoko with five fouls. T but not in summer league. Oh, they double them up.
Play on.
Get 10. Time out. Thunder right now for the Thunder. Pullman’s going to try it again. Almost got the ball tipped inside pass. Turn it around. Got it. front controls the first possession as we start quarter number three 10-minute quarters in summer league passes out Jaylen Wells open and throws it down nearly had the ball taken out of his hands inside shot counted and one Barnheiser stayed with it foul on Jackson Barnheiser by Sam Prey but also Dort undrafted. Yeah. And played and make it a championship team. And Oklahoma City is they found those guys and a lot of times they have is it happen very quickly for the Thunder. Got to get lucky too on occasion.
Yeah. Thunder roll one inside bucket good handles knockdown of his hands. Floater counted. Pull the string about 10 ft out. First one good. Hey, see tomorrow’s stars take the court. I’m screaming for an NBA team at some point. Leon hands it off. Baseline drive on a drive out. Good look. Three triple. Ducas had one
today to have a guy that can just catch and shoot it that way. Nice shot by Ducas. Devon Small passes down low side. Counted and one. Jackson three-point play of the Grizzlies 55. Leon rolls home two. He took the hard ball stayed with it. Yeah. And you get the score over the big fella.
See, we talk about size in this league. is in his second season out of pounds at 69. Hits the free throw. He’s kind of the prototype. Mitchell splits the two defenders, finds space in the paint. Ball’s script picked up. He got a foul from the backside over the top. Mitchell. Two shots. Soko that left knee a bit. Yeah, you could see on that video just
four to play third quarter. Grizzlies with the ball up by two. Make it five off that three. And Jaylen Wells impressive. Over the shoulder pass to pitch. Got three to shoot. Shot is up and in. didn’t panic again. Thor
star early in his career in the Euro
Cup and just right there just nice little Steph Curry like Jeremy Jones at the line is two for two at the free throw line. Make it three for three in the game. He hasn’t shot a lot. Only taken three attempts. He’s two for three, but he’s got 11 rebounds. Nice pace. Courtman saw the open. Jeremy Jones whistles whistled for the foul
out of that bag. Bowler,
I like his game. 12 points on five of 10 shooting. There’s a drive inside run on Q. Kopic now
early right now. We’re doing that over here, too. But players over here are playing a lot more AAU. But in Europe, they start him out early. What a shot way up high and the bucket is good. Glover ring little stop and pop. Great shot right at the free throw line. Jumper sino. Just a great execution. Barnheiser down on the baseline. No foul. 18 assists on 28 field goals. Drops a pair. This is right off the edge of the rim. This eight-point lead by Memphis equals her largest lead of this game. Trying to get used to this level of speed. Got this shot off with five. That ball was down and out. Fleming at the horn. Got it. Stayed with it. He took a ball and a slide bowler.
I called him safe. Fleming trailer inside again.
Try to sell anything more than he just got hit like fall down and all three or four feet away.
That’s maybe the play of the game.
Shot the basket. Cam Spencer back into play. He’ll stop and pop off the elbow and knocks down two. That’s the key for Rockets. off their defense and they haven’t been doing a lot of that in the second half. It’s been more Memphis points up on the board. 22 points, nine of 16 from the floor, five assists and a baseline. Memphis on a run, one-on-one. Floater back to the rim. Tapped up. Rebound Jackson. GG Jackson. Memphis looking to extend their leading do. They sure do. JG Jackson elevates now with 17 rebound. Spencer Memphis enjoying their largest lead of this game and they’re going to add up two more. It’s a six. Leon splashes down a three. They’re going to give him a two. Five count. Memphis with the turnover. Got a block baseline. Two shots coming as Barnheiser attack. Jaylen Wells picked up that foul at third. Barnheiser jumps in to first summer league. That’s coming up next on ESPN Philadelphia and the Utah Jazz. That means we’ll see VJ Edgecomb and a plenty of time just past the four and a half minute mark. Young blood Mitchell fires it up the lefty. Good look. Bounces out. Rebound Jaylen Wells and a late on made it to zone. Barnheiser. Leon fills the lane. Tough shot. Count it. Leaned in to his right. Now another opportunity here on their end. Mitchell back to work across midcourt. He’ll drive to his left inside. Held off the defender to the left. Extending that left hand off the glass.
Mitchell 24. Gigi Jackson slows the flow of OKC with a triple from the run of eight inside and a quick five run off by Memphis. Oh, okay. So quick. Gortman 10 on the shot to his left. drives. Count it. Jackson in a crowd. Another great asset by DG Jackson loses that battle, but taking care of the basketball. Possessions, how important they are.
