Marquette NBA Thread

[skianth16]

So?

Dawson averaged 8.5 pts on 39% shooting his last year at Liberty; does that "prove" that MU coaches were right to keep him glued to the bench?

Better question: Have you always been so obsessive?

In a Marquette NBA thread it kinda makes sense to post articles about former MU players progress in the NBA / G League. There's no issue with the link at all.

Why bring up Dawson?
Better question: Why try to turn yet another thread into that downward spiral? Geez.

Ah ... so this is on me. Cool.

Yeah, this one is for sure. You brought up Dawson based on an article about Deonte's progress with OKC. And the only reason you did it was to start the same tired argument again. Come on, it's all been hashed out by now. 99% of the board is sick of reading it over and over again.

I brought up Dawson because I felt Ners was being passive aggressive and this was my way of calling him out on it.

I allow that I could have been wrong and Ners was just kindly sharing some information -- sort of like when I kindly share information about Shaka losing at home to Radford.

For the record this thread is for any Marquette alumni who play in the NBA or NBAG-League.

Interpret the term "alumni" however you would like to though the initial vision was those who ended their collegiate careers with us.

In that case, Cinmeon Bowers from the MU alumni TBT team averaged 6.6 points per game this year with the Wisconsin Herd.

This was nice. Especially for a guy who can't play D.

I'd put that very far down the list on what makes a basketball player a good defender.

I feel even less badly about my Dawson response now.

I'll take that one step further, "wouldn't," not "couldn't."

Solid research report on Deonte Burton.

Vander has been traded by the Wisconsin Herd to The Texas Legends. He is now teammates with Kostas. This is great news as it formalizes the long awaited MU and Kostas Connection. As Kostas will always have an MU teammate now, whether he is with Legend or the Mavericks.

Awesome.

So no MU night honoring Vander at a herd game?

No but I think the Badgers were thinking of giving him some special recognition as Vander was looking for a massage therapist recently.

Crap, Wes is a Knick.

Crap, Wes is a Knick.

Pretty sure he's on the last year of his deal and they wanted to take another expiring.

However, if he did stick around, you're talking about a team with DSJ, a likely top 3 pick (Zion? Barrett?), and the cap space for 2 max contracts, one of which is allegedly KD. Of course it's the Knicks and they will likely mess it up, but that's a tasty basis for a team, in a top 3 most attractive market for players

[Herman Cain]

Wes may end up with the  Rockets.

I noticed Henry has only played 2 games in the league and 6 games in the G league this season. He hurt?

Two thins. First , His contract was not extended. So the Pistons have no vested  interest in playing him. Second he has had an ankle injury since December 10 and I am sure he is taking his time to work back from that because of point one above. When he does come back he needs to be in good form to impress some other team to sign him.

I knew about point 1. Was not aware of the injury.

Henry will be in Europe somewhere next season. Bummer for the kid.

Off the injury list today, and shipped off to Grand Rapids.  Hopefully for him, to rehab before joining the Pistons for the last month or so.

Yeah spend your early 20s getting paid decent money to play a sport you love around foreign countries, terrible. I feel like we act like playing in Europe is a big punishment but it's something that's still a fantastic life opportunity
