since some of the rookies got sent to the D-League i thought we post what there stats were <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>For those asking about RGV preseason results: Vipers won Game 1 115-99.

Awesome! I was just thinking about them. Hope White will join them soon. Can we get this thread stickied ( <- is that a word?) ? Rooks need love too.
I remember Jeff Adrien! Wasn't he called up for us for a time last season? He was a rebounding beast IIRC

Repost from another thread. This is the only vid i can find on their first preseason game against Legends. You can see bits and pieces of DMo and Machado in action. lol@Machado defending his man at the end of vid. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gZg26HmEhms" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I would love to see DMo play the 4 with Asik. He fits perfectly with our corrent lineup. Bench: 1 Lin/Harden 2 Delfino 3 Morris 4 DMo 5 Smith This will cause nightmares for any opposition coaches!
I REALLY want Motiejunas to eventually be our starting PF, in few years time he may be all star caliber like Aldridge or dare we hope a young Dirk Nowitzki. I hope Machado is working on his defense, that is probably the only thing stopping him from being our backup PG should Douglas go down at any point.
Royce is falling so far behind. DMo and Machado polishing their game in the D-League. TJones contributing off the bench while White is at home on twitter. DMo is my rook though. I can't wait to for him to get called up.
Donatas and Machano Donatas and Machado have had 2 games so far in the D-league. Vipers are 2-0, and Donatas has been doing pretty well. i think Dmo is ready for some NBA minutes, but i like seeing what T-jones and morris are capable of. Machado doesn't seem to be doing very well... i haven't seen the games and have just been going off box scores, so any insight of people that have seen the games is welcome. boxscores: 1st game (Austin Toros @ Vipers): http://www.nba.com/dleague/games/20121116/AUSRGV/gameinfo.html 2nd game (Vipers @ Texas Legends): http://www.nba.com/dleague/games/20121117/RGVTEX/gameinfo.html
Dmo does seem to have all the talent he needs. he's just young. machado isn't playing poorly at all though, i mean if you look only at the shooting, but even that isn't that bad.
