If Trevelin Queen had been around during the Process era, he would have etched his name in history alongside the most beloved guys from that run.But he is playing at a level above most of the guys on the roster, and that's what you want to see from one of your two-way players. I do worry about how Brown is getting his on offense, mostly because it's hard to translate it to a Sixers setting where he'll have far fewer opportunities to get to the rim and score. If he wasn't creating the turnover himself, Brown was applying the pressure needed to give somebody else that opportunity. Before Brown left this game due to a shot to the face, he was a big part of Philadelphia's quest to turn the Jazz over, helping the Sixers to (apparently) break a team record for steals in a Summer League game. He is an active, competitive athlete on that end, getting up into guys as far as 3/4 of the way down the floor. To an extent, I can appreciate the, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality on offense, because the defensive side of the ball is Brown's path to playing time, even if that likely means it comes for someone else down the road. The Jazz sagged off of him at times, and rather than taking open looks, Brown often opted to put his head down and go to the basket, which was a successful option for him more often than not. Charlie Brown had a rock-solid outing for Philadelphia in this one, though one does wonder how translatable it is to a setting with better players in it.Sixers finalize Summer League roster for trips to Utah, Las Vegas.Storylines to watch for Sixers at Summer League 2022.Summer League observations: Sixers drop opener to Grizzlies.Taking him out of his comfort zone this summer should benefit Bassey, who needs to evolve from a drop-only guy to make an impact on this team. Bassey made several good reads in passing lanes, deflecting a couple of Jazz passes to either turn Utah over or at least bring the possession to a standstill. Rather than constantly leaving him around the paint to linger and protect the rim, Bassey spent a decent amount of time guarding the perimeter, and he didn't do a half-bad job out there. What was more encouraging for Bassey was the defensive side of the ball, where he was challenged to do things that he probably won't need to do that often at the pro level. But even there, Bassey was a bit better on Wednesday night, scoring with some touch around the basket without needing to brute force his way through everything. He doesn't have the softest hands in the world, nor is there a deep well of post moves to lean on when he's in trouble. To put it lightly, it has been a bit messier when Bassey has been asked to self-create or score in a manner that isn't dunking the ball. The video: /Q4VnXyIhLK- Philadelphia 76ers July 7, 2022
