I think you're half right. Semi is likely gonna be a rotation guy.
Agreed - I think that Ojeleye has earned some trust with Stevens and will get more opportunity to show what he can do this year. I don't see Boston moving on from him just yet and especially based on a few summer league games where most of the competition is not even NBA-worthy.

Grant Williams with the loudest 4 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist you'll ever see.

Unlike Yabu, Semi can do a convincing impression of someone who has seen a basketball before, so he has that going for him.
Yabu, on the other hand, can do a convincing impression of a drugged out Marky Mark stumbling around the court in The Basketball Diaries.

Norvel Pelle looking really impressive - he has defended TimeLord really well and his closeouts are pretty impressive too. Another long guy with a defensive mentality for the 76ers.

BOS has a good chance in the SL because they are going to get good guard play. Tremont Waters running the show and being super pesky on D + Edwards is a great SL combo.

I wish we could see more Edwards vs. Z Smith but the several one-on-one possessions have been entertaining.

I'd rather listen to Kyrie discuss astronomy than listen to these NBATV announcers.

I take back anything nice I said about Yabu. He's just embarrasingly bad in this game.

Tacko is a one man zone defense. On one defensive possession that resulted in a Sixers' shot clock violation, Fall seemed to have a decent understanding on how to take up lane space without getting whistled for defensive three seconds.

Grant Williams with the 3 - strong man defense and then a contested rebound on the miss

I’m no expert but his shooting stoke looks smooth. Could see him adding a 3-pointer to his college game.
He shot 82% for FTs last year iirc, so he's as good as bet as anyone in the draft to add a 3-pointer. It would probably be more surprising if he can't add it.

Baby Celtics look composed and solid, except for the guy picked four drafts ago and has two years of NBA experience.

We've established the announcers are blind.

Jeez, what else besides a player's hand could cause a change in direction? Perhaps the rim?

Soft touch from G Williams - too bad if it gets taken away. Also he was fouled on the shot

I hate that TL is getting his minutes with Yabu. It's like putting a giant, useless cone that there everyone has to run around on offense.

I’m glad they’re showing Woj talk. Otherwise I’d be wondering if maybe they snuck someone else in there whose voice I was hearing. Definitely a good use of screen space

Pretty sure Edwards has been wide open just about every trip down and they’ve missed him each time

Unlike others, I am not a big fan of the Celtics reboot because I would strongly prefer a better chance at contending versus a likable team (though I would prefer both). That said, if we get to watch more Carsen Edwards as a result, its a decent consolation prize. I love the way the guy plays.

We would all prefer winning. But rooting for the laundry means making the best of it. Some happen to be glad we don’t have to make the best of Kyrie failing to beat Brook Lopez off the dribble a hundred times in a single series.

Rachel Nichols knows more about the NBA than any of these other yammering idiots on this broadcast. Of course, they go to her last and only because Sedano threw it to her.

Carsen Edwards has done nothing to dampen any enthusiasm about his ability to fill it up. Hopefully it translates to a real NBA game.

The death of r/nbastreams was unfortunate.
There's supposedly a non-Reddit alternate which was stood up on a server outside of U.S. jurisdiction, but I haven't discovered it yet. I'll figure it out before the next season begins. They saw the writing on the wall. Did the same thing with r/mmastreams (moved to https://mmastreampass.com/)

These summer league games can be found on any generic stream site though since they're just ESPN/2/3. Example: http://123tvnow.com.
