Lonzo out for the rest of pre season. Big opportunity for Vander to show he can fit in Luke Waltons scheme. Hopefully he can get some meaningful minutes the next few games.

[Herman Cain]

Vander survived the first round of Lakers cuts.  They have one remaining two way spot open as well as one regular roster spot open which is mostly likely going to Andrew Bogut. Banders  performance last night was not helpful to his cause. Granted, he is getting scrub minutes, but he has to make the most of them. He missed a wide open 3 and Vince Carter, 41 years old , scored three pointers twice on him. Although Vander did play within the flow of the game and didn't force anything, and that may be what the coaches are looking for.

Always thought Jamil could make a NBA roster.  He underachieved in college, but he's got a great NBA body and relative skillset.

Uh oh. I feel the word 'expectations' is in our near future.

Apologies if it has already been posted somewhere else. Too busy to keep track the last couple days.

Vander in thin ice... Lets hope Jeannie can push it over the goal line.

So proud that JFB wore our Warrior Blue and Gold. What a solid, hard working no BS guy. Great article - thanks for sharing, Mom.

Lakers fading on Vander...
https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2017/10/12/16465286/la-lakers-news-sign-travis-wear-contract-two-way-preseason-training-camp

Was hoping he could get last two way contract but this signing is not encouraging. I think when he got DNP last game the hand writing was on the wall.

It looks like the next stop will be to get picked up off waivers.

Vander getting stiffed with no minutes again tonight. Looks like they are giving minutes to Josh Hart. Here is a research report on who gets the last couple of roster spots, one full and one two way.

Vander Ended up with 7 minutes. Had a slightly cleaner stat line than Briante Weber who had 6 minutes. Roster decision coming soon. Don't know if any other teams may have an interest in Vander.

Jamil got in the game for 6 minutes and contributed a little bit for the Clippers .  He is a better position because he has the two way contract already.

Vander got cut

[brewcity77]

Feels like it might be in his best interest to start plying his trade overseas. Just not sure the NBA is a realistic goal for Blue anymore. This would be his fifth year trying to latch on, if it hasn't happened by now, seems like it probably won't, unfortunately for him.

The only hope Vander has left is to get one of the few remaining two way contracts left with some other team . If that does not come through , then I agree he should give it up and go overseas and get paid. He has enough game to be a star in the highest levels of any foreign league. He can make a comfortable living, build some savings and move on in life.

Vander has represented MU very well in his journey. Hopefully , he can find a good quality foreign situation.

Lakers signed Blue to a two-way deal. Good for him, at least guarantees him some kind of shot.

Excellent news. This gives him a chance to play under less stressful situation than a 10 day contract . I think he can stick in the league.

Henry with 13 points in 16 minutes......Kaminsky going against him...1-9 in 25 minutes....

[tower912]

Henry is a second unit big next to Leuer.  Tonight they were mostly matched up against Kaminsky and Cody Zeller.
