The Warriors released their summer league roster. A couple of pre
* Bob Myers sounded as if he didn’t want Thompson to play. The second-year guard is in Las Vegas now practicing with Team USA, which ends for him on July 11 (the first day of the Warriors’ summer league squad’s practice). Not only will Thompson be coming off a grueling camp, Myers said the Warriors have already seen enough of the second-year guard and would prefer to see some of the less-experienced players.
* Don’t be surprised if Wendell McKines gets invited to training camp. I can see him being a summer league beast. He rebounds. He plays super hard. He finishes strong. He has all the tools to stand out in summer league if he gets the minutes. Since he can play power forward, he should get some minutes.
* Expect to see a lot of minutes for Jeremy Tyler. Myers said this is a big year for Tyler. He really needs to show the Warriors something. He’s probably fourth on the depth chart at center (behind Andrew Bogut, Andris Biedrins and rookie Festus Ezeli). So his best chance to play is at PF. That means he may have to show some skill development. Draymond Green is going to be tough for Tyler to pass up on the depth chart because Green has some skills. He can play the versatile PF the Warriors like. Tyler really needs to bring it

Dallas Lauderdale missed his calling as a small market weatherman

Agreed on Tyler. He’ll need to improve a lot to make the roster. After all the hype (both positive and negative), I expected him to have a lot of athleticism, but he looked average at best in that category last year. A bit slow-footed and hops nothing special. Hopefully a good training regimen can help him improve there and he can continue to develop what seemed like some decent post moves.

Its sad when half your rotation is summer league players

I’ve never seen our summer league roster so BIG. DO they plan on cutting it down some? How is everyone gonna get mins?

Man thats ust like the Warriors, talking about ridding of guys so soon. How about you develop him, he had a shortened season last year no real training camp. keep the guy and develop him. Tyler can play. He made some bad plays last year but also did some good things!!!

As did Justin Hurrt miss his calling as a professional wrestler from America’s Heartland.

McKines is a great talent…. multi-dimentional. Great shooter and a solid athlete. I could be the surprise of summer league.

12 forwards, 8 guards, and one center – guess they will NEVER learn!!!!

Don’t give up on Tyler! He needs another year to develope and show improvement. At worst case, shuttle him between the D-League (if possible) and Oakland.
I really like McGuire and Rush, they gave the Warriors a chance at the end of games with their defensive abilities.

Tyler is already better than Beidrens, after playing less than a half a season and no training camp.
Did people expect the guy to bust into the league and take over with ZERO experience or exposure ?
