played well today, dion waiters frustrates me so much!!

And +13 in this match, again, nearly the best on his team, and far superior to any of the starters, including their 'star' Waiters who was -14!

Rivers destroyed Dion today

Delly's best effort by far,.. he'll get better the longer he play's with these guys

Waiters is a real ball hog with a license to shoot anything. That guys is certainly not short of confidence. he's got a good quick first step and is an agressive offensive player but thats about it. shot selection terrible, ability to finish-poor and he's certainly not a playmaker.

I saw that too Vart, Delly has been in the + column every game unlike most of his teammates.

how many more games will the Cavs play this summerleague?

would like to see Goulding get a chance to see what he can do rather than 1 minute of action a game.

I loved the fact the Goulding jacked up a 3 at first opportunity.

The cavs should have drafted Oladipo and traded walters for a SF.

+13 vs Pelicans (in a four point LOSS)
+6 vs Lakers
+11 vs Grizzlies

Yeah agree Jake, Waiters is 13/44 from the field just this summer league. His agent is Rob Pelinka, Kobe's agent.

Not sure how he finished the season, but at one point at least, Waiters had the worst true shooting percentage in the entire NBA.

Haha that logic is flawless.

Hahaha^^

This is not 'Delly Watch' per se, perhaps this thread should be changed to 'Aussie Watch';

Aron Baynes had 19 point and 15 rebounds in Spurs win over Atlanta today.

Love it how people here a making so much out of.... summer league performances!

i found this article written about delly saying how well he runs the team and how he has a real chance of making the team.

"Many people felt that because of his size he would get pushed around by more physical point guards at the NBA level."

I can't believe this is even an issue? Have they even seen how much size he has put on since his freshman season. His arms, shoulders and chest now more resemble an AFL footballer than a basketballer. The last thing I would be worried about is Delly getting pushed around. He can hold his own. Quickness? Perhaps. Getting pushed around? Not even an issue at all.

Agree with Vart, I wouldnt mind having guns like that

On top of his well-built physique, the fact that he is 6'4" to begin with (absolutely great size for a PG) makes any assertations that he would get pushed around even dumber.

Oh, delly will get pushed around... it just wont move him an inch

Delly has a contract for SL with the Cavs, but I am not sure if it extends to pre-season camp as well...

I think Delly has done enough now for a training camp invite. His was a pre garuentee and due to the fact that it looks like he has outplayed quinn for the 3rd guard spot.

In answer to the Delly question, he has signed a partially guaranteed contract, so the Cavs will have to waive him prior to their training camp in October before anyone else can sign him. The next step after summer league was always going to be a September training camp, effectively a 'try-out' for guys trying to get a roster spot on their main October training camp. The way Delly has played so far, he should make it at least to the try-out camp.

In other Aussie Summer League news, Baynes got a B+ grade from Justin Verrier of TrueHoops for his game against the Hawks;

'Baynes held his ground against Dwight Howard in Game 4 of the Spurs' first-round series with the Lakers, so the rail-thin Lucas Nogueira presented little difficulty. The sturdy, Aussie-bred big man set hard picks and muscled his way to pretty much whatever he wanted on the blocks. His movements are a bit stiff, but he should prove useful against NBA teams with supersized frontcourts.'

Lads - i have limited Bball knowledge - but would Delly be better playing euroleague rather than sitting on the pine for an NBA team for a couple of seasons - if the long term goal is becoming a regular NBA player?

And if so - would he get good minutes for a Euroleague level team?
