Since SL is only 5 games they saw no issue since he played 4 playoff games instead. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL ball is nothing like NBA ball As someone watching the SL games, this is a tad higher than the gleague but a lot lower than the NBA and even lower than the NBA playoffs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happens to be exactly how many he played in the ECFs. Given what he showed during those games, if I'm Cam (or his agent), I'm saying that he already got his summer live ball reps and would rather sit out SL so as not to risk injury. Probably wishful thinking, though... #nirestradamus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial thought was that I would have liked him to play, but it's 4 games. Our unexpected plsyoff run gave the team.a chance to see how he looked in real game action post injury. He played really well. If he had sucked in those playoffs games, I definitely think he would be playing in SL. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDawg#8 Posted August 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Makes sense for him to feel that way, but a little strange it took so long to draw that conclusion. Season ended over a month ago, did he not realize then that he was in a good spot to miss summer league? He basically waited until they had the guys report for practice to pull out.

Well, we don't know when he approached the Hawks regarding the possibility of not attending, only when it was reported that he wasn't on the roster. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it was announced this late doesn't made he just made that decision recently. He could have made this decision right after exit interviews 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL ball is nothing like NBA ball I wonder where Cam is going to get his summer runs in? Rico Hines? Drew league? ABYL? I hope he isn’t somewhere chilling letting his body rest. He has got to start being durable and getting as much experience as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaceCase Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Eh, if no one is going to complain then I won't but I'm a little uneasy that people are so willingly satisfied with the explanation from the literal PR agent for the Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not enough. We lost all those games. It is about getting a feel for playing with others. In the last three years Cam has only averaged about 45 games played and no off season because of injuries even going back to his days at Duke. His skill and size is elite but his feel for the game is lacking. That is only because of lack of experience playing with and against NBA guys. If we want to be champions, we will end up playing about 100 games in a season. Cam hasn’t played more than 60 or so yet. I think Cam is more skilled than Bogi but you could tell how crafty Bogi was when getting his open shots and others. He also had a great feel for controlling the pace of the game. I really hope Cam is following the Trae model for getting work in in the offseason. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of things is, I don't know what your plans are aside from putting in work at the facilities, I would have rathered you joined the rookies and College Park and put in work. It screams butt hurt from trade rumors on trades that never happened. As others have stated, you better be massively better in the RS than what we just saw. His playoffs was fine but as stated, we lost each of the games he played in. No fault of his own for the playoffs part, obviously, we were really hurt as a squad outside of game 2 where we didn't have it, still, you just want to see him out there. Just keeping it 100%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleachkit Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Cam decided he was too big time for Summer league. Yea ok. He better show out year 3. Time for the training wheels to come off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost game 4? News to me. Y'all just whining to be whining. Summer league has always been trash basketball. Let Cam had played and didn't play like a super human, y'all would still b****.
