    Newley's 27 already. So the possibility of him being more than a token backup as a Rocket seems kind of low. Although I think a team may like him enough to trade a 2nd round pick for him.

    A heads up, the ACB semi-finals start in around 3.5hrs time.

    Real Madrid v Caja Laboral at 20:00 Spanish time.

    Valencia v Barcelona at 21:45.


    Embedded version of the same Newley highlights in the OP:

    Newley's dunk made it to no.1 in their top 7 plays for this past round of the playoffs:

    It's always pretty interesting when an overseas prospect comes to play in the preseason here - I'd like to see both Llull and Newley, just to get a sense of how they stack up to the NBA game.

    Too much speculation is pointless .... let's SEE them play in the NBA.

    Llull's team Real Madrid has made it to the finals to meet Barcelona.

    Newley's team Valencia went down 3-1 against Barcelona, but he won over the fans of spanish team with his performance in the playoffs.
