Hope this excerpt from the Bay Area’s NBC affiliate covering the Warriors’ summer league update doesn’t have young Mr. Livers feeling blue:
The combination of Eric Paschall and Jordan Poole deserves a reality TV show: The new-look Warriors are younger than ever, and with that comes some youthful energy.
The best example of this is the budding relationship between Paschall and Poole. The two rookies are inseparable, by choice and by circumstance, and they have a fun time showing it.
Whether it is crashing each other’s interviews, or constantly laughing and poking fun at one another, Paschall and Poole bring some joy to the team that seemed to have been missing last season.
Iggy and Moe are cooking for the Knicks and Wizards in this summer league game. Iggy has 17 and 8 and 2 assists, Moe has 20, 8 and 3 assists. Irvin didn’t play.
Edit: So is Duncan for Miami. He has 26, 8 and 3 assists too.
Duncan Robinson has 26 points in the game now headed to OT between Miami and New Orleans, and that may do it for our guys. But links to tonight’s remaining Summer League games are here, for anyone else watching online:
Absolutely love that DRob is lighting up the D League. Miami seems to be developing him well - perhaps a foreshadow of future feedback regarding Howard by season’s end? It’s the culture at Miami and Howard was a huge part of it. Just sayin…
Happy for them both and it appears a good decision by them as well as they chase their dreams. That said think Iggy’s Summer League performance will be the tougher of the two to carry over into a regular season NBA game. Beating up on young guys in the Summer League is one thing taking those trips down the lane against veterans will be far tougher.
