David Thorpe has been on Twitter for a while, but hasn't done much with his account until today, when he is tweeting up a storm from the Orlando Pro Summer League.
- david b. thorpe That's a wrap for me tonight. Hope it was informative. Back at 3pm tomorrow. Thanks!

- david b. thorpe Lester Hudson is a dynamo on defense.
- david b. thorpe Jeremy Richardson has been one of my fave players the last 3 summer leagues. And he just made a phenomenal play going coast to coast for ...
- david b. thorpe I don't understand why teams put older guys on their summer league teams. What can they learn? Age is a huge advantage.
- david b. thorpe Maynor is going to be a terrific backup to DWill.
- david b. thorpe Eric Maynor is very slight, but heady.
- david b. thorpe Celtics started Sweetney and Swift. Both living proof that the draft is just one night, not a career.
- david b. thorpe Michael Sweetney is here, and he's huge. Not in a good way.
- david b. thorpe Celts vs. Jazz coming.
- david b. thorpe I was impressed with Pat Ewing's coaching tonight. Unlike many guys, he didn't overcoach,and he stayed positive all game.
- david b. thorpe The Thunder, as an organization, should be proud of their win. This was a prepared group of young men.
- david b. thorpe Add Ibaka to the list.
- david b. thorpe If the Thunder was a stock, it'd be a hot one. They have a number of good looking young players here. White, Westbrook, James Harden, Li ...
- david b. thorpe Harden continues to impress. It looks like he'll fit in great as the third or fourth wheel for OKC.
- david b. thorpe DJ White has returned to action after jaw surgery. He looks good.
- david b. thorpe Ryan Anderson has a lot of work to do on his body. But he's not just a shooter. He's a player.
- david b. thorpe Westbrook is 3 steps ahead of his teammates. He misses KD and Green.
- david b. thorpe Harden looks like a top 3 pick. He's in total command of his game.
- david b. thorpe Livingston looks quicker and more sure of himself than any time I've seen him since his injury.
- david b. thorpe The D-league is made for Ibaka, and if used right, it will help him immensely. He has a future.
- david b. thorpe Ibaka just picked up a defensive 3 seconds call. It won't be his last.
- david b. thorpe The Thunder are up 15-2, and Westbrook is playing horribly.
- david b. thorpe BJ Mullens looks good. He'll get much bigger and stronger.
- david b. thorpe James Harden is not a gunner. He has a sense of where his teammates are at, and where they're going.
- david b. thorpe Serge Ibaka is long and athletic, yes. But he's quickly shown some skill too. Great late pick.
- david b. thorpe Sean Livingston gets the start for OKC. Welcome back!
- david b. thorpe Magic vs. Thunder now.
- david b. thorpe Hansbrough had 17, and was a big spark. Speights petered out, and finished with 28.
- david b. thorpe Pacers win game one in OT.
- david b. thorpe Hansbrough is learning that just going up strong in traffic is not enough to draw the foul call. Not in the ACC anymore has meaning to him.
- david b. thorpe Hibbert is better off staying on the blocks instead of the pinch post. He's too limited out there.
- david b. thorpe Holiday is looking for his shot more this half, but only for long shots. That's a mistake.
- david b. thorpe Williams has great feet on defense, but defending Rush on a dribble drive is not that hard. Still, I like everything about Williams exce ...
- david b. thorpe Hansbrough is the bright spot for Indy. He's doing little things, like flashing ballside and racing to the rim.
- david b. thorpe CDR has an old man's game. And I mean that as a huge compliment. He's crafy and smart, and will be playing this way for a decade plus.
- david b. thorpe Speights-hotsy totsy (24 pts so far). Hibbert hotsy notsy (6pts and a beat slow).
- david b. thorpe Williams makes nice and easy passes.
- david b. thorpe Speights and CDR have both settled into a groove because they are playing HARDER.
- david b. thorpe Holiday is dominant defensively, causing chaos with ball pressure. But he's struggling with how to run the team.
- david b. thorpe Hibbert's brain helps him to be in the right spot all the time. But his body let's him down.
- david b. thorpe Terrence Williams looked lost on offense, but he already looks like a rebounding machine.
- david b. thorpe Speights got his perimeter game going, and is the best player on the floor.
- david b. thorpe Jrue Holiday did what all rookie pg's do-nothing but run the offense. But he got defelctions, steals, a block and a drawn illegal screen ...
- david b. thorpe First Tyler Hansbrough shot? Blocked by Rob Kurz. But he got a nice steal and went coast to coast for the dunk.
- david b. thorpe Marreese Speights started out trying to make perimeter shots, with no luck. As soon as he went inside, he scored with ease. Twice.
- david b. thorpe Brandon Rush has some footwork issues when he shoots. But when he gets balanced, it's pure.
- david b. th
orpe CDR does not look comfortable. Plays too fast, though he uses a ballscreen too slowly. He did make a sweet change of pace move off a screen.
