He played at Indiana, he was a former assistant here but assistants come and go all the time I think swoopem was referring to former players. 

Masters degree at MU.

BTW, did we know that Todd Mayo was waived by his D-League team back in January?

He was suspended in December for taking a shot at another player: http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=4905798

Then he was waived from the team a monthe later:

He was getting minutes the games in between, though.

Pretty awful stats:

Vander barely made it to Sacramento in time per the radio.  Got in under the gun to sign his contract and can play tonight

PGsHeroes32

4 pts in 14 min at half.

Getting a solid opportunity here at least.

Not only playing, but starting.  Man the Lakers are depleted, but good on Vander.  Wasn't the biggest fan of his decision, but he's grinded and worked really hard since leaving MU.

He definitely didn't start at least according to ESPN.

Maybe he started second half?

Either 26 minutes is nice. Missed his free throws though!!

Looks like they went all out getting him a jersey too

I give Vander credit.  Definition of a grinder these past couple of years.  Man are the Lakers a hot mess or what?

That's low.  Getting waived by the Knicks D-League team.

So how common is this 'cup of coffee' thing?  We've now got several recent MU alums that have played a handful of games in their career.  Even Buycks has only appeared in 20 games despite being on a roster for a full year in Canada.  For comparison, Zar played in 72 games in his 2+ years in the league while Diener appeared in 179 over 5.

I'd assume it's the injured Wayne Ellington's #2 jersey. Regardless, Vander must think it's the most beautiful jersey he's has worn in a long time.

My mistake, I saw he was playing starters minutes early in the second half and assumed.

I think it depends a lot on injuries and team situations.  Zar was a first round pick playing on a not-great Twolves team, so he was getting run there, and a bit less with the Thunder.

Buycks was on a very good Raptors team playing behind a star in Lowry and a good backup in Greivis Vasquez, so there wasn't alot of opportunity, a lot of DNP-Coach's Decision.

Now you look at the Lakers or a team like the Sixers or Knicks who have been out of the playoff picture forever, and if you are in their D-League organization, its a good potential, cause they are just trying things out and not really caring about winning games or setting a playoff roster.

DienerTime34

Anyone know what the payday is for 2 games in the NBA? Probably twice what he made the entire year in the D-League.

1/41 of the Association minimum.

This article gives some insight on Dwight's $$ situation, which probably can tell you a lot about Vander's. Also says the Lakers were planning to sign Buycks through next year before the broken hand. Ugh.

QuoteBuycks will have earned $48,028 over his contract with the Lakers.  He would cost an additional $14,408 for the final three days of the regular season.

This isn't the NFL. Players don't get paid by the game or collect game checks. A 10-day contract during which period the team has 6 games pays the same as a 10-day if the team has 4 games.

That was just mentioning the financial/roster implications of if they would sign him through next year, not necessarily highlighting their intentions, beyond signing him past a 10-day, like the Suns did with Jerel.  Regardless, if they were considering him for 2015-2016, I would think his performance through the injury would be sufficient, absent 3 meaningless playground style games to end the year.

IIRC, 10-day contracts are worth 1/17 of the league minimum for each player based on service time.

In Van's case, it'll be just shy of $50k.

4everwarriors

So, does a playa sign a 10 day contract when there's only 4 days remainin' in da season?

WellsstreetWanderer

During the game  at the breaks they played Vander's highlights; Nice move out of a trap and across the lane for a layup, three-pointer and his steal and dunk. Played them again after the game. Players, coaches and commentators all said he played well for someone who showed up at the arena didn't talk to anyone ,including Byron Scott, and had no idea of plays, offensive and defensive schemes. Scored 7 points. 


Good outing
