Teresa Weatherspoon, part of the Amazon Prime call. That was Caleb Wilson. The Lakers and Bulls tangled in summer league play and the Bulls lost handily. But do we care? How much do we care? The Lakers are moving on. They've advanced in summer league.

Marshall Harris 0:47

It was funny watching them play a very motivated Lakers team because they knew if they won, they were undefeated. So if they win the game, they're on to the semifinals. Meanwhile, the Bulls are just like, hey, man, we're trying to get one good run in without a point guard with our prime players outside of Caleb Wilson playing like the little trash bin floating down the river on fire. Is that a fair way to describe Daylon Swain and Noah Asenge's time at Summer League?

Vinny Rotino 1:13

I mean, that's part of the problem, right? So the final score was 105-82, and this really got busted open in the second quarter. Lakers outscored the Bulls 37-24. And again, you know, there was a third quarter they only had 14 points. You're asking where the shooting is out of the new players, but you're not asking that of Caleb Wilson. 21 points, 8 rebounds. I can't believe he played in this game. All of us had plans to watch the summer league game regardless.

Marshall Harris 1:43

Because what? Because what?

Vinny Rotino 1:45

We have a problem. We have a basketball problem on this show.

Marshall Harris 1:48

Start scratching your neck a little bit.

Vinny Rotino 1:51

You got any more of that summer league? I don't know why I'm so into it. I mean, well, you know, Lawrence went last year. He actually made the trip to Vegas for summer league.

Marshall Harris 2:00

I bet he wishes he had switched trips this year, gone to Summer League this year. This would have been the year to be at Summer League.

Vinny Rotino 2:07

I mean, I don't know. That's the beauty of it. It's always there for you. Eight rebounds, but he also had eight turnovers, and that led to a lot of the Lakers' points. The turnovers were a problem, both on the side of the Bulls couldn't get any points off of their turnovers by the Lakers, and then the Lakers were absolutely scoring off of theirs.

Marshall Harris 2:24

Can I just make this point about the turnovers?

How did the Lakers defeat the Bulls in Summer League and when did the game shift momentum?

Marshall Harris 2:26

Yes, he has to be better and more judicious. He made a clear effort yesterday to be more of a playmaker and try to get his guys points. But some of his teammates look like they had... hands like feet because some of those turnovers were on his teammates.

Vinny Rotino 2:43

Well, and that's, I mean, that's really part of the problem is we can be happy about Cale Wilson, but if I don't know what Daylon Swain, they knew I think was going to be a project, whoever there's, there was an element of that with whatever they were going to do at 15, just in this draft. That was, that was the nature of picking there. But when you see what we're seeing out of him, he finally breaks that 0 for 18. He ends up with four points in this game, playing 21 minutes. And then Noah Essenge, you know how I feel. I've almost written the pick off. And I hate to say that after just one season where he was hurt. I don't know what to do about it.

Marshall Harris 3:21

I don't think you can write the pickoff because he is so young.

Vinny Rotino 3:24

He's going to be in the G League. I know you think he's going to see NBA time, but I just don't know how much, even on a team that is rebuilding like the Bulls are.

Marshall Harris 3:36

Okay, first of all, with Daylon Swain, and I know their names are not spelled the same. But how bad is it that I started thinking about Daylon Terry watching Daylon Swain?

Vinny Rotino 3:47

And it's probably why I'm too futile about this. Like, it's probably why I'm a little... I think why my patience is not as much as it should be. Right. Because that's not fair to Noah. It's summer league. But Daylon Terry didn't prove to be a player. And he was drafted, though, in the first. I mean, same idea, a little bit drafted in the first round.
