Celticsblog Roundtable: Who has changed your opinion about them most in the summer competition?

Who has changed your opinion about them most in the summer competition? (Positive or negative)

Mark Aboyoun

Kenneth Lofton Jr. probably changed my opinion the most – although not as I had hoped. Maybe I am just used to Onderzaalsse Bigs in Boston (cough, Jared Sullinger), and some of me believes irrational that there is still room for a player like Lofton to play a role if he made the team. However, I was not so impressed this summer. He had moments when he looked comfortable and his strength is clear. Yet the size of the size to ignore 6’6 was too low, and I expected that he would stand out more. He had a few solid outings, but in general I expected more.

Mike Man

Baylor Scheierman did not shot well, but he looked ready and confident. He is the One Summer League player who will probably be expected to play meaningful minutes during the coming regular season, and in Las Vegas he showed that he is ready. The most striking was that Scheierman had an average of 6.8 assists, which was fifth throughout the summer. The shooting must come back. When he received the playing time last season, 16 minutes per game after all the star holiday, he bowed 37 percent of the bow. So my most important collection meal from Vegas is that Scheierman is progressing in the direction of a greater role in Boston, which is reassuring with all the question marks about the future schedule of the Celtics.

Steve Hooper

Amari Williams surprised me. He has a handle and can push the ball onto the field. It is not close to a finished product, but he is now a work in progress. I was disappointed to hear that we apart from JD Davison after investing so much coaching and training in his development and his young career and to cut him off after such a good season in Maine.

Jack Anderson

Kendall Brown surprised me the most. I really enjoyed seeing him playing. Although I didn’t know much that he entered Summer League, I was excited to see his game and how impressive it was. His athletics and the ability to drive to the edge and complete me, excited me really excited.

Jeff Clark

This may sound strange, but for me it was Jordan Walsh. His bad show in last year’s Summer League in combination with his scarce playing time this year led me to wonder if he would get lost in the shuffle or will be a cap cutting. Instead, he showed up and gave solid versions in line with the kind of role that he should play. I don’t know where he ends up on the depth map with Hugo Gonzalez and Scheierman, but at least he is not beaten.

Jake Issenberg

Jordan Walsh. We have life. Walsh had more at stake than all other Celtics in Summer League, in view of his ungesticized contract and lack of production during his first two seasons. Walsh showed that at least he belonged to Summer League. The thing that made the most impression on me was Walsh’s ability to consistently generate paint vomits. During all four Summer League matches, Walsh was able to get the ball in affordable positions and then show his length and touch to finish around the edge. Save to Walsh.
