Re: Rudy Gay with explosive summer league debut ...21pts 10 boards

A very good summer league squad got a whole lot better today when the 8th pick of the draft, Rudy Gay, dressed and got into the game. After signing with the Grizzlies yesterday Gay went out today and scored 21 points on 50% shooting with several monster put-back dunks and huge slams in transition. He also showed good form on a 3, a nice 10 hook on the baseline and a couple of 18 and 20 shots. In addition he pulled down 10 boards (4 offensive) giving him a double-double for his first game. All of that despite not really being quite in game shape. In the second, after blocking his man on defense, he ran the break and then asked the coach to take him out for a breather. Talking with Rudy after the game he mentioned that they told him he would be tired his first game and they were right. In the fourth quarter Rudy went up to contest a shot and when he came down his foot slipped out from under him. He pulled his groin slightly and they took him out of the game and iced him down as a precaution. Rudy said that he was a little sore, but would be fine for their next game.

Every game Warrick steps onto the court in Long Beach hes the best player on the floor. Hakim scored 23 points today, pulled down 7 boards and dished 4 assists. The real story though is how fluid his moves are and how smooth his jump shot looks. Warrick has been displaying a variety of twitch moves with little up-and-unders and spins allowing him to get easy buckets while on the block. Not just limited to put-backs and alley-oops anymore, Warrick looks to have really turned a corner in his game which should get Memphis fans excited.

Tarence scored 11 points today on 5 of 10 shooting while pulling down 6 boards. He showed a great cross-over that got his defender completely out of position, but was unable to get the shot off before his man recovered and blocked him. He scored a wide open layup on a nice hesitation move and scored another layup managing to shift the ball in his hands to avoid the defender. He also shot a smooth 20 from the baseline. Kinsey has gotten an invite to training camp and a partially guaranteed contract from the Grizzlies.

Alex uses his big, wide body and huge shoulders to muscle players around, getting great rebound position and sealing his man on offense to get easy buckets. Scoring 25 points on 7 of 11 shooting and grabbing 13 rebounds (7 offensive) Johnson has been a beast in the paint this summer. A good natured and amusing guy, Alex has hustled and played hard in every game and the coaching staff loves him for it.
