3 months agoThe fact that Kevin Knox gets brought up as some counter example to show Summer league isn’t very important shows to me that Summer league is actually more important than people give it credit for. It isn’t the end all be all but it is additional data. Kevin Knox had a very overrated Summer league, he just had some athletic highlights with high volume but he shot at 35% and had 4 turn overs a game. He is a terrible counter example that still gets brought up years later.

Last year, Lauri was probably better but right now, like this very second I am willing to bet Sengun has already surpassed Lauri with how much Sengun has improved every single year.
