Summer League in Vegas starts Thursday vs. Aldridge and the Trailblazers. I will be in Vegas from Monday-Thursday next week and will go catch a game(probably the Tues 7/11 game vs. Clippers). Don't really see anything exciting on the roster this season. Roster thus far: Chuck Hayes, Darius Washington, Lonny Baxter, John Lucas, Steve Novak, Hollis Price, Patrick Beilein, Pat Carroll, Chris McCray, Jeremy Richardson, Matt Freije, Antwayne Robinson, Judson Wallace, Mamadou Ndiaye, Matt Haryasz, and Henry Domercant. Only interest I have here is to see how well Novak handles the NBA 3 point distance and curious to see if Darius Washington shows anything. Chris McCray might show some upside,but just don't see anyone making the team outside of Novak and of course Hayes.
I want to see has D Wash, Antwayne Robinson, and Chris McCray do. Robinson is a late bloomer who is very skilled. He has the perfect size and body for a small forward.
I just read on a site that NBA TV will broadcast some games from this league and another summer league. Last season NBA TV showed every game from this league.The only problem was they were aired like 2 days past when they happened. No tv schedule out yet for this season that I can find.
Wow. $22 bucks to get into the summer league. No wonder the building is always empty. I will still pop in for a Rox game for the hell of it. It might a good chance to get some autographs like Roy, Aldridge, Amare will be there for Phx. And the much desired Mamadou Ndiaye signature. Look for me on tv. I will be the guy holding the "WHAT CAN'T MAMADOU" sign in the crowd.
I thought I read that every game from this league was supposed to be broadcast. Whether or not they're tape-delayed or not, I have no clue.
Does anyone know what the word is on Hollis Price? I'm a horns fan and when he played for OU, he was always pretty nasty to us...Is he too small or what?
Let us know if Chuck Hayes has lost that hitch in his jump shot. If he ever develops a non-ugly mid-range jumper, he might get more playing time.
I am interested in Washington, Novak and one or two of the athletic forwards. Does anyone know if Direct TV has NBA TV?
I actually think this is a team worth watching. I know most of the guys on the squad. They're mostly young. You have NBA vets on the team mixed with journeymen, rookies, and people who are still finding their way. I expect another championship. If not, fire Thibodeau.
While there is nothing sexy about that roster, I expect us to once again go undefeated. Baxter and Hayes equals summer league domination.
