More on Dillon Jones after his big game, acknowledging Summer League beyond “it feels like you’ve been here a month.” “So many different opportunities. I go from nine minutes in the first game, DNP, start a game, come off the bench the next game, now today I played 36 minutes.”
Wizards’ Dillon Jones had 25 this afternoon, and talked about always having to re-prove himself. “At some point, I knew an opportunity would come and I’d have to deliver, and I prepared for that moment throughout the playoffs. I’ve seen a lot of high-level basketball recently.”
He’s the man, has been and always will be

Markquis Nowell will always have a fan in me #heartoverheight
Help the man retire with a Larry! #cp1
Alright I think I've decided, the Nuggets final move should be CP3. He doesn't have to play every night, but his experience and leadership will be huge and he still has the ability to raise the ceiling for the bench when needed.
Jamir Watkins when asked about his defense yesterday: “Think I got a long wingspan, so I don’t really gotta do that much. I think I take up a lot of space. I think that’s what the league is about, a bunch of tall two way guys.” Showing it off again tonight. Quote credit to…
I wasn’t just thinking about 2 Fast 2 Furious while I was with Kolek. I also asked about how he’s handled pressure with a potential backup pg job on the line should he impress the Knicks in Summer League, and he gave me his perspective. si.com/nba/knicks/new…
Jamir Watkins on his shooting after 8-steal night: “That was the only question people had of me coming into the league. I think I’m taking care of business on the defensive side, so once I start to knock down those shots, it’s gonna start to look real good.”
I’ve made it to Vegas for summer league. #bringmeyanickonanniederhauser
Dlo the underrated Laker. I don’t even disagree but what a world we live in
D’lo was actually so important for them in the RS. in ‘23 after the trade they were +13 with him on, then in ‘24 he shot 41% from 3 on a .47 3Pr The playoff stuff made his tenure nasty but he gave them the legs to survive until April in those years
I now know I wasn’t crazy for wanting timme on the wizards a few months ago
Kyshawn, Bilal, Watkins, Sarr, the Wizards are gonna force bad games out of some of the stars they’re gonna face
I’d recognize Dickinson anywhere
Look who’s sitting in front of me today 😂😂😂😂😂
July may unironically be the most exciting time of year for Wizards fans, eager to see how the vast young core performs against other prospect platoons around the NBA. DC's already 0-1 in the Summer League, but some guys already look noticeably NBA-ready. si.com/nba/wizards/wa…
Since 2021, I’ve been tracking every memorable quote from Hornets broadcaster Eric Collins. I just dropped the complete A to Z dictionary of Collins-isms on @buzzbeatpod (Link Below)
