Jayson Tatum - The Celtics first round pick, #3 overall, will continue to have the spotlight on him.  He finished with 21 points and 7 rebounds in his first game, including the game winner.  What will he do to follow that?   
Abdel Nader - Nader, the 58th pick in last year's draft played last season with the Red Claws and was named D-League Rookie of the Year.  He had 13 points and 7 rebounds in his first game and seems to be making a case for a roster spot. 
Semi Ojeleye - Ojeleye was projected to be drafted in the 20's but slid to the Celtics at 37.  He didn't make much of an impression in his first game but is still a player to keep an eye on. 
Ante Zizic - The Celtics drafted Zizic 23rd in 2016.  He impressed this past season playing for David Blatt with Darüşşafaka Doğuş.  He finished his first game with 9 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block and showed some of the physical game that he is known for.

Ben Bentil - Bentil was a second round pick of the Celtics in 2016 but did not make the roster.  He was picked up the the Pacers for their D-League team for the season.  He finished his first game with the Spurs with 5 points 3 rebounds and may look to make the Celtics regret letting him go. 
Bryn Forbes - Forbes went undrafted in the 2016 draft but made the Spurs team on the basis of a strong Summer League performance.  He got little playing time his rookie season and is back for his second Summer League with the Spurs.   In his first game he finished with 12 points. 
Davis Bertans - Latvian power forward Davis Bertans was signed last year by the Spurs and played sparingly.  He finished his first SL game this year with 12 points. 
Derrick White - White was the 2017 first round pick of the Spurs, 29th overall.  He was the Spurs high scorer in their first game with 13 points. 

Keys to the Game
Chemistry - Summer League teams are thrown together and have 4 or 5 practices before they have to compete and so chemistry is something that they have to develop as they go.  The teams that develop it quicker will have the advantage. 
Defense - Whether it is Summer League or regular season or playoffs, defense is always a key to winning games.  Every team needs a few players who make defense their priority. 
Player Development - Summer League games are tough to predict as coaches often experiment and play different guys at the end of the bench while sitting their best players in order to evaluate all of the players on the team and to give them a chance to play.  Players need to step up when they get their chance. 

Game Notes
It's always a guessing game as to who will start and who will play in Summer League games since coaches like to get a look at a lot of different players and combinations.    We probably won't see the same starting line up in this game as started the first game.

Jaylen Brown probably won't play 30 minutes again but we still should see plenty of Jayson Tatum.  The Celtics also will likely play Abdel Nadir and Semi Ojeleye plenty of minutes in order to evaluate their chances of making the roster for the season.

Looking forward to the 7/11 crew do their thing tonight. Also hoping for a better look at Semi on the offensive end with a few more touches in this game.

Go Celtics!

Now that the Hayward thing is done we can really enjoy tonight's game. I would like to see more of the same from JB with less turnovers and I want to see JT get it going a little earlier. More Zizic and more Semi.

Go Celts!!

Nice game notes FlCelts, really valuable insight at this time of year with many relative unknown players.

It feels like the regular season with something happening every day...a game, a signing, a trade, etc.

Assuming that he's not immediately cut from the Summer League team when he's released to make room for Hayward -- he should be, after that Sixers game -- can you take the extra "K" out of Demetrius JKackson's name? It's been bugging me :-)

Utah fans aren't going to be happy with the Celtics one bit.

But meanwhile, Ainge will walk into the game all:

Remember when Ainge looked a little "sad" and "surprised" at times during the game and we speculated Hayward decided to stay  :laugh:

Jaylen is so confident with his 3 point shooting from all over the court game 1 of SL. During last season, Brad's system sends him to the corner most of the time. I'm hoping he gets to play more free lance this season.  Really excited about this.

They could come up with better camera angles though. That feed on the Orlando games really blows. It makes me feel like I'm 10 years old, sitting on the floor watching adults play ball.

Yeah, I saw that too.  Also very plodding and deliberate in the low post.  He needs more work than I expected, he's not even a backup big yet.  Zeller replacement I suppose.

Yep, had a nice pass to Zizic for the dunk. Overall I thought he actually was a pretty decent passer last year, but because of his small role in the offense he never got a chance to show it.

Bad offensive possession with about 40 sec to go, but they ended up with the last shot anyway, and missed.

Whole team looks a bit tight, maybe trying too hard.

Something is definitely off.

No point guard.

The big problem with evaluating players in SL is that they are playing with mediocre teammates. It puts them at a big disadvantage. Now, a guy like Tatum shines in spite of that, so you know he is going to be good.

Zizic doesn't look like an NBA player. Too slow, heavy feet, and no hands. I don't see it. I hope I'm wrong.

Tatum, though. Wow.

Agreed 100%

send Zizic back to europe

Summer League over reaction?

I mean, maybe? I hope I'm wrong but he's struggling and looked not all that different on Monday. This is a faster game than what he's used to and it's showing...and it's only Summer League. It wouldn't be a big surprise if a slow footed old-school big prospect didn't pan out in today's league.
No overreaction. He was mediocre on Monday too. Erase any thought of him being part of the rotation. G-league I guess but it's a shame to take up a spot for him.

Zizic needs to get in better shape.  I see that as a lot of the problem right now.  He has had some nice rim rolls and he's a big presence but he needs to be able to run the floor.

I thought he looked good in the 1st half on Monday. He's looking raw tonight but he's still boxing out and hustling. It's a little early  ( 2nd summer league game of his rookie season..) to be writing him off.

Not concerned about Zizic yet.  Looks like a guy who isn't in game shape to me.  But I've seen some things from him that I like in terms of skills.

Let him bust his ass in the workout room for three months and let's see how he looks in October.

While Zizic is not playing well he does have a few intangibles, you cannot teach size. 3 dunks, mostly due to size, and on defense, some guys are not scoring on him as easily also because of size

his biggest problem in my opinion is mobility. He is very stiff on offense and defense, that can be fixed imo.

Agreed, I don't get it.

You put Jae Crowder officially on the trading block, and a team would happily trade for him and we may get a significant asset back

What is the point of doing a sign-and-trade with Utah?

Why not just ship a guy off to a team with cap space and get a pick back?

Agreed, I don't get it.

You put Jae Crowder officially on the trading block, and a team would happily trade for him and we may get a significant asset back

A starting quality SF making that much money? Teams are going to be calling left and right.

so why arent the offers pouring in?

You'd think a team could use a starting level SF making that much money.

I'd like to see Scoochie Smith get more time next game. He lead the team in assists, with 3 in 15 minutes of play. The summer league roster is really unbalanced...

Also killed us with some hero shots, as we were edging back and some terrible passes.  He had some good and some bad plays.

2 turn overs and shot 2 for 5 but had some nifty passes...

Did the Celts make a mistake of skipping on Zubac for Zizic?

Nah. Zubac wasn't willing to be stashed, and he has many flaws as well.

Tatum looks wonderful and that is who we want to look wonderful so I am happy.

Otherwise a lackluster game...
\\

well i was hoping zizic COULD look better than ryan hollins. guess i asked too much! smh

You shouldn't expect any bigs to look good in summer league. It's too guard oriented, and not even pick and roll is done well/often

Gotta wait til the real NBA to see if Zizic (and Tatum, etc.) Is any good

The whole game is way too guard oriented, now, for my taste.  Ball hogs ::).

Did you like the one where he threw it about 10 ft ahead of Tatum out of balance?

Jaylen Brown off night... he is streaky right now

but also bc the celtics don't have a legit PG to run things...
I noticed that too. Looks like Brown's handle isn't good enough to be the creator just yet, he is more a finisher.

JB needs to run ball handling drills every single day. Make him dribble the ball to meetings, at lunch, on a date, in the shower. Whatever it takes.
