Daniels Dyson, the eighth pick of the draft, was injured by the Pelicans, this is a big loss and most likely the management will not see him in action until the regular season. In the match with Portland at the beginning of the fourth quarter, they were flying at -26 points, although at the end they were able to reduce the gap to -17, and this despite the fact that PTB realized only 3 of 24 shots from a long shot for the entire game. We also note that the veterans of the summer league Murphy and Marshall played 30 minutes each, all this indicates that the Pelicans are not in the best shape in this summer league.
Atlanta, in turn, lost the first match to Utah, but not so defeatingly (72:66). Note that in that match, the brightest newcomer of the Hawks, signed at the draft under the 16th pick, A. J. Griffin did not play, but the management said they would flirt with him. It is also not clear why players like Tilman, Kaba and Kinjo played less than 20 minutes. Today I'm waiting for Griffin at the start and the usual minutes from the existing leaders
