Summer League games can be misleading. That's why I think it's important to analyze WHY a player succeeds or struggles in Las Vegas and try to determine if it's relevant for NBA games.

So, taking that to Monroe: Summer League games are played at a fast pace. I think Monroe is best in a half-court game, which probably contributed to his struggles.

He missed every shot I saw him take, wasn't as fluid off the bounce as I thought he was supposed to be, and looked generally soft. Its a summer league game, not overly concerned, but he did nothing to grant him favor here either during the limited time I watched. BTW, is there a worse gauge of a players importance than Summer League?  Anthony Randolph anyone? Marco Bellini?  These guys lit up VSL and havent done a thing in the NBA.  So, all of this is kinda pointless, though I do appreciate Dans effort with your notes.
