I guess it should be mentioned that both TH Jr. and Stauskas were traded in the last 10 days. Timmay to Atlanta and Nik to Philly.Comment

I still think Stauskas would have benefited a lot by staying in college ball another year..."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment
-
Nah, the draft this year was much better in the lottery. He probably would have gotten pushed to the teens in this year's draft.Comment
-
He was also a known quantity. He wasn't going to improve his draft rating. Because the NBA Draft is insanely potential driven.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.Comment

Stanley Johnson is looking very good for the Pistons so far.
BTW- For the Michigan-angle, Mitch plays against J-Mo at 3pm today in Summer League.Comment

Cool. Can he tell him not to turn pro?Comment

Caris LeVert made his NBA debut tonight. 0-3 shooting in 9 minutes but 4 boards and 3 steals.
Some of our guys are doing okay but nobody is heading to the All-star game any time soon.
THJ is averaging 11.3 a game, mostly as Atlanta's 6th man. He's shooting 46% overall.
Nikki Buckets: 9.6ppg, shooting 45% and 38% from 3.
GR3: 6.6 44%/35%. Did start for a couple of games for Indy and played well.
Trey: Seemingly in the doghouse in Washington but he's shot well when he played. 4.5ppg 44%/42%.
The ancient warrior, Jamal Crawford: Still leading the way, as far as scoring goes. He's losing his touch a bit, as he's getting older. 12.0ppg, 41%/33%Comment

FWIW- Both DJ Wilson and Derrick Walton had strong Summer League showings. Wilson averaged 11.8 points and 5.4 boards out in Vegas and Walton averaged 10.0 points and 3.5 assists in Orlando. From what I saw of Zak Irvin, he didn't do that well. He started in Orlando and came off the bench in Vegas, as Miami was one of the few teams that played in both cities.
While Wilson did well, I still think the Bucks are stacked in the front court so I imagine most of his season will be spent in the G-League (formerly D-League) with maybe the occasional appearance in Milwaukee. Something similar to what Henry Ellenson did last season for Detroit.
I imagine Walton will get a training camp invite from somebody and Irvin probably won't.
Caris LeVert also played in Vegas and played well (16 PPG, 48% FG). He may start for the Nets but will more likely back up the 2 and 3, I think. The Nets traded for Deangelo Russell, who isn't really a PG, and DeMarre Carroll, who is a SF. That said, I could see Russell being a combo-guard off the bench if the Nets want to be stronger defensively.Comment

Oh, no word on Trey Burke signing anywhere. He might be headed overseas.
TIMMAY got paid big to return to the Knicks and Jamal Crawford signed with the T-Wolves, who've had a big summer.Comment

No news with Walton but Irvin just signed with a club in the top Italian League.Originally posted by *JD* View PostComment

And a couple of hours later, Walton signed a 2-way deal with the Miami Heat.Comment
