Five, quite sloppy days. CDR was consistent, and that was about it. T-Will couldn't build on yesterday's good performance.

 

The only thing that could have been accomplished out of this combined team was individual performances. If that was accomplished in anyway, then yippee.

A simple question brought a brutally honest answer from Nets coach Lawrence Frank: What did you see in summer league this week?

 

"A lot of bad basketball."

 

"Williams is a good, all-around player," said team president Rod Thorn, who reiterated there is "not a thing" going on for the Nets at present along the free-agent front. "He's a good passer, easy to play with. Guys are going to like playing with him."

 

OK, so where is he? Frank liked his ball handling skills, his versatility in playing different positions.

 

"He's kind of a point forward in that he can handle it and distribute. He's a good facilitator," Frank said.

 

"He didn't get any shots and was lost in the shuffle, but he played real well," Thorn said. "Remember, it's summer league and a lot of it you take with a grain of salt."

WORST IDEA: With the sluggish economy affecting even NBA teams, several franchises opted not to field summer-league squads. And then there are the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Nets, who decided to share a team together.

 

New Philly coach Eddie Jordan said from the start that he didn't like the idea because he felt strange barking out orders to players on the Nets' roster. And the players weren't nearly as diplomatic about the decision for a split squad.

 

"It doesn't really benefit you at all to go out and play with guys who aren't going to be your teammates when the season starts,'' said New Jersey's Terrence Williams, the No. 11 overall pick of the NBA draft. "You get used to a guy's game, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter because you aren't going to be playing with them anyway.''

 

The Philly/New Jersey squad was the worst one of the summer league, going 0-5. Speights underachieved badly, while Williams and Philadelphia rookie Jrue Holiday struggled with turnovers.
