For those who want a break from the World Cup the OKC Thunder Summer League team tips off at 12pm PST on ESPNU. Have a chance to catch Elijah Mahi & Christoph Tilly in action. They play the Grizzlies but Adama Bal does not appear on their roster.

Elijah did not play on July 4th but Tilly had 20 minutes and 10 points..
2nd Thunder game recap: Mahi did not play, Tilly played 17 minutes and 4 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound and a steal.
Seems as if Mahi is just a roster spot at the moment. Hopefully later in Summer League he gets some run after the Thunder have looked at their draft picks and guys on contract
Thunder play again tonight 7/7 at 6pm on ESPNU.

In the last SLC summer league Tilly started and Mahi got a little bit of garbage time run.
In today’s Vegas Summer League Johnny O’Neil DNP for the Pelicans.
Tomorrow night 7/10 the Raptors and Allen Graves should make his NBA Summer League debut at 6pm PST/9pm EST on ESPN

Im watching the Dubs-Mavs Summer League game, which included a Podz interview. Both he and color man Seth Greenberg waxed effusive about Herb and his ability to prepare players for the NBA. Nice free advertising.

Just finished watching the Raptor/Celtic game. Nice debut from Graves, Toronto’s leading scorer with 22 pts (3/8 from 3), 13 rb, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Seemed to be closing out well on defense and was active all around the floor.
interesting side notes - Celtics leading scorer was Amari Williams from Kentucky, with 23. Toronto’s bench included Malik Thomas, formerly of USF, who did not see any action.

Graves has a nice NBA Summer League debut. He had some tough rebounds and played hard. Looked like he belonged on an NBA court.
Tilly had another solid performance for the Thunder. Could see him being similar to Keyshawn Justice. Play a few seasons in the G League before moving onto Europe. Mahi did not play in this game.
For those interested in today’s games, 7/11 the Pelicans (Johnny O’Neil) play at 1pm and Raptors (Graves) play at 6:30pm

Johnny O’Neil does not appear to be suited up for today’s Summer League game
Tougher 2nd game for Allen. Overall if you were just to look at his box score you’d think it was another solid performance. But watching the game you saw the negatives scouts observed. Too many fouls, he had 6, you get 10 in Summer League. Seemed like defensively he was bothered by the athleticism and uptick in skill level.
Thunder play Warriors at 3pm. Expect Tilly to play 15-20 minutes and hopefully Mahi gets some run
