Jamil kicking off his summer league tonight for the Lakers. 9:30 central. Looking forward to seeing him in action.

Good highlight tape. Carefully listen to the audio at 13 second mark...

It is going to be more difficult for Jamil to make an impression in the Summer League as it looks like he is not going to be getting maximum minutes.

He got 7:46 in the first half 0-1 shooting (missed a 3) and one board.

He has to make the most of his time on the floor.

[Herman Cain]

Jamil barely getting any touches. Too many guys ball hogging on his team. He is hustling and playing good defense, boxing out etc .Hopefully the dirty work is valued.

[MU82]

I'm rooting for all the MU guys, too.

But Jamil is simply not an NBA player.

Vander is closer to being one than Jamil is. And Vander isn't, either.

One thing about the Lakers they love MU players. DJO has been there, Vander, Lazar, Bucyks, Jamil, Jerel, at one time or another....wow.

Totally agree on Jamil.  I could see Vander stick but if he doesn't make it this year he needs to go make money somewhere.

Jamil has strong tools but he does not show enough confidence on the court. It is a replay of what he was for us. 

He needs to be able to create his own shot to become more of an offensive threat. Otherwise he
Just stands there waiting for someone to kick out to him for a three, which didn't happen in the first game. One problem
He has is that he is the sub for Brandon Ingram who is as
Good as advertised.

He did show quick hands deflecting passes etc. Jamil just
Has to keep grinding .


Let's hope the Laker MU connection helps.  Luke Walton was a lunch bucket player so he may value Jamil.

I think I understand what you mean by "lunch bucket player"...................and Jamil is certainly not one.

How many y'all had spam sandwiches in yo school lunch bucket, hey?

Fried spam was excellent.

[Herman Cain]

I think this is the role that Jamil is trying out for

They love 'em for about 37 seconds.

Hell, hoopaloop lasts longer with Mrs. Chicos than most MU guys do with the Lakers!

Those D-League crowds are pathetic. Maybe the NBA should be giving the tickets away.

[Herman Cain]

ESPN shamelessly promoting Ben Simmons. Summer League game with Lakers is on now on ESPN2. They are hyping the showdown with Brandon Ingram.   Will be interesting to see if Jamil matches up with him at all. 

[Loose Cannon]

. Summer League game with Lakers is on now on ESPN2. with Brandon Ingram.   .

   Thanks

[Herman Cain]

   Thanks

Excellent.

Watched Jamil play for awhile tonight. Simply nowhere near an NBA player.

Agreed. He is having a lot of fun though. Thomas and Mack arena full of people and very loud.

The upside is he may turn it into a training camp deal and maybe get an attractive foreign offer.

Shamelessly promoting?

If they had any brains, they would want the Jamil / Vander matchup.

As long as he is having a good time, that's what's is important in the long run.

Yeah, brand, shame on ESPN. Trying to draw viewers and make money, the ba$tards!

He is definitely hustling and working hard.
