Host Dylan Bruton delivers a candid breakdown of the New Orleans Pelicans’ Summer League, with a spotlight on Trey Alexander’s 25-point, five-three-pointer outburst and his claim for a larger rotation role. Dylan explains why Alexander’s shooting, athleticism, and distribution could set him apart in a crowded Pelicans backcourt, where most guards—including Jeremiah Fears and Jose Alvarado—are wired to score first. The episode analyzes the team’s lack of a pure floor general, emphasizing how Alexander’s playmaking might be the “inevitable” separator for cracking the regular season lineup. Looking ahead, Dylan previews the crucial consolation game versus the Pacers, introducing Indy’s top threats (Enrique Freeman, Cam Jones, Johnny Fury) and warning that finishing 0-5 in Vegas is unacceptable for a team trying to shed its injury-plagued underachiever label.
