A pretty good synopsis. I work with ED kids for a profession. Sounds tailor-made.

LAS VEGAS — Many scouts and personnel people from around the league wanted to get a look at veteran shooting guard Rashad McCants on the Cavaliers' summer-league roster. Unfortunately, he didn't show up. McCants, 25, has played four years in the NBA. He was a first-round pick in 2005 from the University of North Carolina. The 6-foot-4, 215-pounder was spotted by Cavs front office executive Wes Wilcox in Los Angeles a few weeks ago and invited to summer league. It could have been his ticket back to the NBA. He hasn't been seen in the league since his 24-game stint with Sacramento in 2008-09. "He had a family issue with his mother being ill," said McCants' agent, Lindsey Maxwell, of Washington, D.C. "His mother just took ill last Thursday. He felt it was best to take care of his family. He returned to Carolina. "We've been in contact with the Cavs. They've been aware for a while." McCants is planning to be in Las Vegas on Sunday for the Tim Grgurich camp. "(Not showing up) doesn't help his cause any," Maxwell said. "We think he's still a productive player in the NBA." Maxwell said he hopes the Cavs will consider inviting McCants to training camp in the fall. He's averaged 10 points and 1.3 assists in 249 career games. Cavs summer-league coach Paul Pressey seemed unaware of what happened to McCants. "I never saw him," he said. "I was kind of looking forward to seeing the guy. He's a heck of a talent." Harris sidelined Former Michigan guard Manny Harris has been used sparingly on the Cavs' summer-league team. He severely sprained his left ankle during a draft workout in New Jersey. The 6-5 guard didn't work out again for any teams because of the ankle and wasn't drafted. Some observers thought he'd go in the second round. He's still not 100 percent. The Cavs have an interest in him, and he could get an invitation to training camp.
