June is such a wild stretch in the NBA. The league crowns a champion<\/a>, holds a draft<\/a> and hurdles into trade season<\/a> and free agency<\/a>, all in about two weeks. Everyone could use a few days to cool off, right?<\/p>\n

While much of pro basketball works the phones, the young and the hopeful start July in either Northern California or the Utah mountains. That\u2019s where NBA Summer League gets its limited opening. The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings are joint hosts of the California Classic, while the Utah Jazz lead a Salt Lake City round-robin showcase of their own. Together, these five days of exhibitions offer fans some laid-back looks at developing talents and dark-horse hoopers.<\/p>\n

I know, I know Keyonte George is, uh, defensively inept is what I would maybe a nice way of putting it, yeah, um, and the combination of him and Peterson in the backcourt will be a question defensively, no question, no question. But ultimately I love the fit offensively. Uh, they should be dynamite, and I think Will Hardy will make life a lot easier for a lot of these guys. It’s just. How much, like, is this a playoff team next year? What do you think? Uh, that’s probably optimistic in playing for should definitely be a plan. Maybe they can’t get in the top six, but the, the West is pretty, pretty packed, so I think it’s tough to say they’ll definitely be in. Grizzlies are running to the. They couldn’t wait. They couldn’t wait at all. I think, I think with Peterson and the Jazz, the key here is. You know, you have Kante George coming up for this contract extension. He had two highly mediocre seasons, and then his 3rd year finally showed what I think a lot of people expected him. The jumper in college, you know, getting into the NBA. The jumper started coming around. If he’s that player, you have a super high scoring backcourt. If he’s not that player and it was just kind of like a little jump, and he’s gonna go back down to earth. I think based on what you’re talking about with the playmaking of Peterson, maybe there’s less pressure on the angs to give a big contract extension to Kante George. You can slow play it a little bit better because remember, you now have to really watch those finances with the 1st and 2nd apron. Yeah, and honestly, I know there’s conversations about Walker Kessler and uh the reported money that he’s going out there for, I think. I think it’s crazy. I think it’s insane. I would, I, I understand that. I just, I don’t think that $28 to $30 million is the right range for Walker Kessler. It’s disrespectful to not give him more. I’m, I’m, no, I don’t really believe that. I’m just, I’m here for chaos. I wanna bring as much chaos as I can into this. Yeah, it’s very, very good start for the Utah Jazz.”,”ineligibleRegion”:[“BI”,”BY”,”CD”,”CF”,”CU”,”IQ”,”IR”,”KP”,”LB”,”LY”,”ML”,”NI”,”RU”,”SD”,”SO”,”SS”,”SY”,”UA”,”VE”,”YE”,”ZW”],”publisher”:{“@type”:”NewsMediaOrganization”,”@id”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/#publisher”,”name”:”The Athletic”,”url”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/”,”foundingDate”:”2016-01-25″,”logo”:{“@type”:”ImageObject”,”@id”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”url”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”contentUrl”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”creditText”:”The Athletic”,”height”:”60″,”width”:”435″},”publishingPrinciples”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/edit-guidelines\/”,”sameAs”:”https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Athletic”},”author”:[{“@type”:”Person”,”name”:”Zach Harper and CJ Moore”}]}<\/p>\n
