Yes yes, I know it’s only Summer League. I know it’s only GAME ONE of Summer League.
I know that #29 pick Archie Goodwin was a darling of Suns fans, surprising everyone with his production in the 2013 Summer League. He was so good we predicted stardom on the big-boy NBA level. And I know that five summers later, Archie is about to take over the all-time Summer League scoring record while enduring his third straight summer of uncertainty without an NBA contract in hand.
So we need to put all this into perspective.
One good game from #31 pick Elie Okobo (9 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds) and last year’s #32 pick Davon Reed (18 points, 4/5 on threes, active defense) does not mean these two have a real future in the NBA.
