"Most Disappointing Player: Marquese Chriss – In a season in which Chriss started almost every game for us last season, you’d think he would step up to more of a leadership role this Summer League. But he’s looked frustrated at times in games, leading to numerous fouls and lackluster frustration plays."
– Branden Wyss
"Most Disappointing Player: Marquese Chriss– For starting more than 70 games last season, Chriss played like a rookie in Summer League. Committing lazy fouls, play out of position on defense, and letting his emotions compromise his play, Chriss took a step back in what should have been a coronation to 2017 Summer League dominance. Hopefully the disappointments of Summer League will motivate Marquese Chriss to play better and learn from these mistakes in time for the regular season."

"Most Disappointing Player: Marquese Chriss – Certain aspects of Chriss’ game disappointed me during his Summer League showing. Most notably, his defense. He looked brutal on that end of the floor, especially his defense in the pick and roll at times. Not to mention he fouled too much during a few games, which has something to do with discipline. His body language was bothersome as well. The sophomore summer surge didn’t come from Chriss this time around, but hopefully he shrugs it off in time for the regular season."

"Most Disappointing Player: Marquese Chriss – I am going to use a lower case ‘d’ in my disappointment of Chriss in this category because overall, 17.5 points, 6.23 rebounds, and 1.25 assists (in the first four games – he left game five early due to an ankle injury and did not make an appearance in game six) isn’t too bad. However, he was called out publicly during the Dallas game by Earl Watson for his attitude towards refs after taking multiple defense plays off to complain, and did average 5.75 turnovers and 5.75 personal fouls per game. Although I am hopeful that the coaching staff gets in his ear about complaining constantly and he tones down the personal fouls, there is no denying that his Summer League performances were overall, disappointing. – Adam Maynes Most Disappointing Player: Marquese Chriss – Deep down, we were all hoping that Chriss was going to dominate the Summer League like Devin Booker did last year. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. ‘Quese had his ups and downs, showing some improved post moves while struggling from the outside. The real problem for Chriss was his attitude. He moped almost constantly and mouthed off to the refs on multiple occasions. Hopefully Marquese can put this Summer League campaign behind him and continue to work on his own game – Joseph Lowery Next: Most Likely to Contribute in 2017-18 Most Disappointing Player: Marquese Chriss – I am going to use a lower case ‘d’ in my disappointment of Chriss in this category because overall, 17.5 points, 6.23 rebounds, and 1.25 assists (in the first four games – he left game five early due to an ankle injury and did not make an appearance in game six) isn’t too bad.
