I don't see the fascination with Darius Washington. John Lucas III looks just as suitable for a backup PG. However, all this is academic. JVG is never going to play a rookie. Had we drafted LaBron James, he would still have been sitting on the bench.
I'm looking for McCray and Darius Washington to have the best shots of making the team, along with Baxter.
one notable ommissions, Malick Badiane. Maybe rockets gave up on him already. but i dont know, if Saer Sene can be the 10th pick, maybe Badiane can also be a project. i dont know. And one more player that i hope rockets could have added is Gerry Mcnamara. He might be unathletic and maybe fat now, but he can at least play some point. But this is summer league anyway, lets try to see if he can hold up even just against JLIII.
On Lampe, I think the summer league is only for players who have played two years or less. (I guess Amare gets a medical exemption?) On Badiane, I think there is something that says if we play him in the summer league (again), we then have to sign him or give up his rights. Kind of like in MLB a team can only option a player three times. Besides Badiane just doesn't have the talent to make the bigs.
I think anyone who wants to play, and who the team wants to play, can play. Artest played in it last year, and Terrell Owens played too. I don't think there's a two-year requirement, it's just usually that veterans don't see the need to play since their positions are established so they don't need the summer league to prove themselves.
Well obviousley chuckie but i really like darius washington he is the kind of talent we need to hang onto let develop and get into our roster he imo has great potential!
Umm go to espn.com or nbadraft.net he is compared to a youthful rod strickland and if you look at stricklands #'s they are pretty nice he should be a good backup if not starter for his career at one point espn had him ranked as a potential lottery pick! His stock fell because he plays more like bobby jax than chris paul!
Yeah. He's exactly the kind of guy you sign to a minimum rookie deal and just stick him in the D-league. And hell, all his roster spot does is prevent us from signing an additional 10 day contract guy. Big loss.
Im slightley suprised that dumby didnt make luther go and play a little bit in the summer league maybe he should have even though luther is pretty seasoned after last year!
pat carroll seems to be a great shooter, 3 seasons at st joseph and he made 292 3 pointers ( 44% ) he didnt play at all last year, i cant find why http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=5257
ok thanks ! i just found it on the net, and he made 7/16 3 pointers (11/30 total FG, oops lol) during last summer league ... 6.6pts, 2rbds ... he's bobcats' matt carroll's brother btw ... cant find where he played this season
