why would someone "considered a top prospect in the NBADL at the forward position" leave for the phillipines? what am I missing ?

2/1/2014 12:27:48 AM

beats me, but did anybody else catch the Erie vs Springfield game

2/1/2014 12:45:11 AM

^^it's my understanding Howell's just going to the phillipines to play in the Commissioner's Cup, which is already in the quarterfinals round. I don't think he's committing to playing there next season.

So with all the moves the 76ers have made in the last couple of weeks Zo Brown finally found himself settling into the backup PG position, until..... he torn ligaments in his right wrist and is out indefinitely. He's not going to need surgery, but that sucks for him

N.C. State Shit.

CJ Leslie to the Idaho Stampede.

2/26/2014 5:59:45 PM

Man, I don't get some of these folks in the D league. Yeah, it's your dream to make the NBA, but <pulls figure out of ass> 90% of those D league types don't make it, play for peanuts for a few years, then (unless they actually finished college with a degree) have nothing to fall back on. My ass would be overseas playing for 6 figures in a heartbeat.

2/26/2014 6:59:17 PM

Richard's first game with Talk 'n Text tomorrow night

3/4/2014 6:06:04 PM

^^
It is following their dreams that has gotten them to this point, why give up now?

3/4/2014 6:08:59 PM

CJ Williams continues to put up 20 and 30 point games. he has moved into the NBDL top-30 prospects list

FYI, Dennis Horner got traded to the Bakersfield Jam. CJ Leslie traded to Idaho Stampede. Yes, I will be going to the Stampede vs Jam on March 26!!! Stay tuned for pics

It would be awesome to see CJ Williams get a crack at the league.

3/4/2014 11:22:29 PM

It's fitting for Leslie to be in Idaho, with his potato brethren.

Boise is a really really fun city. Great music scene, good restaurants, and very hot Boise State chicks.

CJ will love it

Damien Wilkins should be considered as pros I think.

3/5/2014 9:09:30 PM

After got fired by Knicks, he returns to China. He was there in 2010.

3/5/2014 9:11:46 PM

Yes, I hear he is a god among chinese. I looked back through this thread to remember where I hear this from and I stumble across this:

3/5/2014 9:15:00 PM

He's not that great. This year, he's helping Yi in the paint.

3/5/2014 9:19:07 PM

nobody could have predicted that Dennis Horner would play in more NBA games than CJ Leslie + Richard Howell + Brandon Costner + Scooter Sherrill + Tony Bethel + Tracy Smith + Gavin Grant + Cam Bennerman combined

PI!!!1 Costner and CJ Williams on the LA D-Fenders

http://packinsider.com/?p=1054

Quote :

"Costner found his comfort level as well. Though he is scoring a career-low 13 points a game, he has become very effective of late, averaging 16.4 points in the month of February. Costner says this is a product of his improving health. Last season, Costner broke his shinbone. After mission all of 2012-13, Costner said that the process has been a slow and painful one...."

3/31/2014 12:23:06 AM

We've got another center in the league!

Markeisha Gatling is heading to Chicago. 10th pick.



edit: that got me thinking about Summer Erb, also a center. After searching for a little while (and thinking her name was spelled "herb", and getting results ranging from gardening to summer basketball camps to arizona state), i was reminded that she played for the Charlotte Sting for a year, and then played some in Turkey. The latest I could find, with minimal digging, was that she stepped down from an assistant coaching job at UNC-Asheville to "pursue other career opportunities".

I am so intrigued now haha. Wouldn't surprise me if he had a meltdown. I'll try to dig a bit today.

4/15/2014 10:32:08 AM

CJ is still listed with the Idaho Stampede D-league team. He's actually playing with Dexter Strickland.
http://www.nba.com/dleague/idaho/roster/

On the 3/29/14 game box score it lists him on the roster, then beside his name "DNP - COACH'S DECISION". Last I can find on him.

yeah, I was at the game in mid-March (posted pics above) and he was getting quality minutes and contributing. talked to him after the game for 10 minutes and he seemed to be happy. there must be something else going on, or he got injured

4/15/2014 3:32:51 PM

Josh Powell returns to NBA! He gets hired by Houston for the playoff!

"COURTNEY FELLS, AUSTIN TOROS GUARD/FORWARD "Courtney had a terrific camp. He was one of the top three players in the camp. I think this summer's going to be a big summer for him. He's either going to break through in Summer League and get with an NBA team, or it's time to go to Europe. People just aren't sure what position he is: Is he a 2 or is he a 3? "He knows how to play. He's good at everything. He shoots the ball, he runs off screens, he can put it down one or two dribbles and get to the rim. He's a good defender who's long and athletic enough." CJ LESLIE, IDAHO STAMPEDE FORWARD "He has to become a more consistent player. Right now he's in between being a 3 and a 4. He's got to improve his skills and become a 3-man if he's going to play in the league. "He's got to become much more consistent in being able to spot up and shoot the ball, and then when people close out on him, put it down with one or two dribbles without turning it over." CJ WILLIAMS, LOS ANGELES D-FENDERS GUARD "He's very consistent in how he plays. If he's open, he's going to make shots. He's got a terrific shot fake, one-dribble pull-up. He's very good at cutting and getting open on cuts late in the shot clock, and he's got long arms and quick feet. He really knows how to play. "Now he just needs someone to give him an opportunity. I think he showed NBA people that he's a guy that you want in the Summer League." "
