Seems like a really good development that JDub is working out with Shai’s trainer. If you’ve watched Shai’s workouts, he does a bunch of pliability and body stretch workouts to stay limber and is one of the reasons he’s been very durable.

If Dub can do that for a full summer strengthening his lower body and hamstrings that would go a long way for his season long availability.

Dude is a bison. This just looks wrong

I remember thinking this guy was a superpower when we shot lights out.

Then his face went on a milk box for the last couple of years. I would’ve been gutted 3 years ago to lose him, but now I don’t see how we’re going to do any worse because of it.

Hey guys, since it's the offseason I thought it would be fun to see where our community stands on some common questions used for ranking NBA players.

There will never be another Russell Westbrook this man will always be my goat.

NBA summer league superlatives: Which players impressed? | Ben Golliver: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/49391646/2026-2027-nba-summer-league-superlatives-mvp-aj-dybantsa-cameron-boozer-vegas

• Summer league MVP: Cameron Boozer, Memphis Grizzlies
• Most electric rookie: Caleb Wilson, Chicago Bulls
• Most intriguing rookie: Darryn Peterson, Utah Jazz
• Most inconsistent rookie: Morez Johnson Jr., Dallas Mavericks
• Best second-round rookie: Meleek Thomas, Cleveland Cavaliers
• Best sophomore: Egor Demin, Brooklyn Nets
• Most improved sophomore: Khaman Maluach, Phoenix Suns
• Best second-round sophomore: Chaz Lanier, Detroit Pistons
• Best undrafted player: Arthur Kaluma, Los Angeles Lakers
• Most disappointing rookie: Aday Mara, Oklahoma City Thunder

Given that summer league play is relatively unstructured and dominated by bucket-getting guards, it's no surprise that Mara didn't leave much of a mark during his minutes and sometimes struggled to keep up with the pace of play.

The 7-foot-3 center enters the NBA as a very skilled passer, and his best moments in Las Vegas involved him whipping the ball to cutters for high-percentage looks in the paint. Otherwise, Mara found his own scoring opportunities hard to come by, and he didn't command the basket area that well on either end for a player with his size and length.

Don't overreact yet: Mara excelled when surrounded by NBA-caliber players at the University of Michigan, and he is set to join the league's most talented roster in Oklahoma City.
