RE: Slats in the Summer

Definitely streetball.  I have seen more defense this year compared to
others though. But that isn't saying much. 

You have to remember, the guys come from different teams and get thrown
together. (The NKU team is the only one intact) Coaching is minimal or
nonexistent. There are very few sets used, or no sets whatsoever. 

I cant use their SL performances and have a good opinion on how guys
will perform in season, since there is no structure. As a fan, I focus
on individual skills and just enjoy the games for the entertainment
value.

I am amazed when fans yell at the refs for bad calls. Sheesh. 
It's the friggin Summer League !  Have fun !

I would put it on the "street ball" end of the scale probably due to the
lack 
of structure and practicing and playing together for an extended amount
of 
time.
