anyone have any summer league notes?

1) andrea bargnani got 10 fouls in like 28 min against the kings lol... otherwise i heard hes been looking good.

2) renaldo balkman sounds like a rebounding machine?

2) kevin martin of the kings has been absolutely dominant in the summer leagues. might this translate to a possible sign and trade involving bonzi wells?

Brandon Roy is playing stellar in the summer league. I have really good feelings about this guy. I'm thinking Grant Hill type of game, off guard who can handle the ball and do everything well. I'm excited.

Randy Foye is looking really good too as a scoring point guard. Not really my type of PG (Starbury, Telfair, etc) but Minn needs scoring to help KG.

Bargnani is looking like he's gonna score but I've been reading he's still really shy to do any rebounding, blocking shots, banging inside. He's like a really tall small forward.

Kevin Martin is a good source for a sleeper next year in fantasy basketball.

there are a lot of talks about AI and boston. if this happens, then danny ainge will automatically win GM of the year. AI may be past his peak years, but he still has some good engine left in him. a big thing is being delonte west's mentor. i am sure if pierce can get along with antoine walker and gary payton, then he can get along with AI .

lol. Went to high school with him. Weirdest-looking mofo evar. His shoulders were like 10X the width of his waist, but he had no muscle whatsoever.

from ESPN reports at the summer camps, i heard

-Bargnani looks pretty solid
-Adam Morrison struggled here and there with his shot selections,
-Marcus Williams has been playing superb ball.
-Boston's young crew of Telfair, West, Perkins, and et al. has been tearing things up.

my sleeper picks for next year to watch out for are (and will crack the top 50 nba list):

Josh Smith
Kevin Martin

Andre Igoudala(if AI leaves the sixers, i expect him to start putting up Scottie Pippen type of numbers)
Jameer Nelson

he'll be a great player but his numbers may be deflated if bonzi wells resigns, as he'll be coming off the bench. i expect him to score around 15 ppg w/ bonzi, 17-20 w/o.
