Are we still banned from using the name Zach Lofton here?
Nope, just his relatives that think he is the next Jordan/Kobe/Lebron.

Sorry if it's out there, but can someone post the schedule? If it doesn't exist, any information would be helpful like days and times the games run. Thanks in advance.
I vote we uphold the "Zach Lofton" name ban...
Jigga Lofton disagrees.
Same as EYBL.
Maybe if you add the caveat "for their age". You could also say the EYBL shows more consistent effort. I watched Wiggins for a half just going through the motions pretty uninterested, and NBA players pushing themselves hard in the pro-city leagues.This summer league and the EYBL are not comparable. Far better basketball from start to finish in the EYBL. If you disagree it just means you haven't watched these leagues enough.

Everything is comparable. Especially effort, competitiveness and skill level in basketball games.
less competitive than the EYBL.
The games are pretty competitive, especially in the playoffs, and some of the 1 on 1 match-ups are extremely competitive. That's when you can learn something about a players game.
watch some EYBL games next year
I have and I don't disagree. Just saying you CAN learn about a player in the right competitive match-up in HP.
Mo video
That was one ugly looking shot at 1:33, but hey, it's still 2 pts!
Happy 4th everybody.
I'm stuck in the office bored so,
I found some cool individual highlight tapes from the HP Pro-Am.
I thought some might find them interesting.

Hollins - Malik - Hollins - Buckles - Mo/EE could be a good experienced core, need to get Buckles and this year could be interesting.
Buggs has so many things going for him. Great athleticism, great length, he's putting on some weight, and he's got a pure shot. He's still raw though. He doesn't rebound at all. He shies away from contact. On D, though he's quick to catch up, he can still get beat with a first step and he gets lost on screens. And he fades around on every shot. At Pulley yesterday he trailed a play, got a pass, shot an open three in rhythm, and was still fading away. Not ideal. I'm not sure he'll be able to contribute as much as I'd previously hoped.
Dre was obviously tired from his trip, and wasn't taking the game extremely seriously. His jumper and everything were still there, but he looked a little tired at points, and his jumper was a bit off. I'm not concerned.
Wally is still an insane leaper. He appears to have lost weight since last year. His shot also makes it clear that he's been pretty exclusively working on high jumping lately. He was kind of invisible for most of the game except for a nice alley oop. He still competes, and works hard. Hopefully he'll work on his shot and be able to make a few for us this year.
Joey King is skinnier than I thought. Anybody thinking of him as anything other than a pick and pop shooter are going to be disappointed. Every opportunity, he dashes out to the three point lane and calls for the ball. And some of the bigger forwards were dominating him inside on the boards. Further, he had some trouble finishing on layups amongst the trees. I think he may be able to help us, but after watching he and Buggs (admittedly in Summer League, but although good signs from HP don't always translate, bad signs often do), I'm still not sure we've got a power forward who will be able to hold his own in the big ten. It's not a news flash, but our backcourt is going to have to carry us.

I will say they always do better than I expect when I don't expect much
