Drugs and NBA never good. I see a small crevice and want to jam the door open for Vander.

Again, that's how dumb teams react. Good teams just try to get better.

Vander can add value.

Apparently no NBA GM agrees with you.

Vander with 14 points in opening game lost 86-85. Play by Play shows he missed the last shot. I was not able to watch game. Next game Sunday at 1pm Eastern.

For what, exactly? Vander is who he is, and the D-league is not representative of the style of ball played in the big leagues. I think had he stayed, Vander may have been drafted in the second round. I don't think he would have been any more or less successful than he has been.

I think the most financially prudent option for him would be to maximize his prime years overseas.

Takes time for the right set of circumstances to emerge. Thinks can turn on a dime. Jae was supposedly on thin ice with the Mavs and struck gold in a coach , Brad Stevens, who believed in him.

I agree if he does not find his way into the league this year, overseas would be the best option for him.

Vander has a game in Summer League today at 1 eastern.

The difference, I believe, is that Jae had spent most of his time on a roster prior to his breakthrough chance. Vander has had, if I recall correctly, three 10-day contracts with three different teams (Philly, Boston, LA Lakers) that were not renewed. Dallas may not have given Jae much time, but they also didn't risk losing him, whereas none of the teams that gave Vander a chance seemed to think he was valuable enough to keep around.

I love the kid. Think he did a great job of fighting through criticism at Marquette and emerging as a very good college player. He was a hard worker who figured out how to contribute from day one and grew his game from that point to go from defensive role-player to best player on a conference championship winner. But I just don't think he's a NBA player.

I am rooting very hard for him to achieve his goal.

Pretty much everyone is. However I think realistically people realize that at best he's an end of the bench player.

I love seeing Vander get shots during Summer League because it means there's interest.

But it's gotta stick soon or the eyes will be shifting elsewhere.

He's not having a good game today.

EDIT: He showed great form on the FTs made.

Vander also going to be playing in the Las Vegas Summer League for Dallas.

Hopefully he can translate his performance this summer into a tryout opportunity in the fall.

Vander playing at 3 today. Looks like he is playing for Dallas in the Las Vegas summer league as well. He will definitely get a lot of looks between both.

Dallas signed Wes, "drafted" Jae and brought Jamil onto their summer league team last season. Somebody in Big D likes Marquette players. This could end up being Vander's best shot at sticking...although the Mavs giving Seth Curry a 2-year deal the other day doesn't help VB's chances.

We should ask Mark Cuban for his thoughts on MUBB's schedule release strategy.
