Orlando Summer League

Yep!  I'm actually excited to see.  I have a few days to watch this week, and they have the games you can replay on broadband.  Kind of sucks you have to pay, but I paid already because I have 4 teams to watch because of MU players and my 2 fav NBA teams. 

Looking forward to watching Lazar especially.

Good and bad news for Jerel.

Good: played 20 min vs. Celtics

Bad: 1-6 FG, 1-5 3PT; Charlotte loses

[marquette99]

Darn. Was he running the point and did you get to see any of it to see if he was running things ok and or on-ball defense?

Sorry. Missed it.

Next game, Philly tomorrow. Last summer league game of the day. 6 pm CST.

[77ncaachamps]

8 minutes left in the 3rd vs. Philly.

ZERO minutes for Jerel.

Looks like he's going to have to impress a Chicago staff.
Best chance? NBADL and landing a spot on the Golden State Warriors - the "Official" NBADL call-up team.

[marquette99]

Any chance his playing time is out because he goes to bulls team next?  Hey, miami could need a lot of minimum salary players soon.  I'm not near a tv to watch lebron

[GOMU1104]

Jerel will be a D-League lifer...thats what he is likely faced with unless he changes his game.

[Markusquette]

Jerel barely got a chance.  I don't even know if he got in the game today.  Can't wait to see ZAr play.

Boylan's comments are not very encouraging long-term.....

[77ncaachamps]

I know but with a potential lockout, minimum contracts may be valuable.

[MUBurrow]

i was discussing this earlier with a friend, but does anyone know of the financial differences between a NBADL contract (if you arent signed with a team then sent there) as opposed to playing in europe?  for a guy like DJ with financial obligations, is it more fiscally valuable to play another full season in europe as opposed to signing NBADL contracts in hopes of catching on with a 10-day contract, etc with a big club?

[77ncaachamps]

Unless you're signed with a legit Euro team, you can easily fall prey to non-payments, delayed payments, getting cut from teams, etc.

You may not realize bigger contracts in the NBADL but there's a little more security, you're stateside, and you can be called up any time (twice by the same team = season contract, I believe). Heck the Warriors added at least 5 Nbadlers this past season.

I didn't know Marquette was in the NBADL!
