Marquette NBA Thread

[BossplayaOtto]

Clippers left Jamil Wilson in NBA G-League for Sunday's Game vs Hornets.
For the first time in over a month, Wilson wasn't called up. They've been shuffling him back and forth between the LA and Agua Caliente to preserve as many days as the can on his 45-day split. He didn't play in Friday's game either but was called up. He must be getting close to exceeding the limit. With how well he has played hopefully they just give him an NBA deal.

Question: can another team sign a player that is on a split to a full-NBA deal similar to raiding a practice squad player in the NFL?

I'm pretty sure he's contracted to the Clips. Blake Griffin's return has killed his opportunity. Too bad, I need a Clipper for my fantasy team this week.

Clippers have one open roster spot and may have to swallow some penalty dollars to fill it. Hopefully they choose to use it on Jamil.  The good news for Jamil is that he made a good impression on the league as a whole. So ultimately he will land somewhere .

Jimmy and Vander on the court at the same time in Wolves Lakers game. Nice moment for both I am sure.

edit ; Vander just caused Jimmy to turn over ball. maybe Jimmy is not so pumped

Those Buzz teams sure had a lot of talent...Switchables philiosophy was ahead of its time in college but he read the pro game well. We may one day ask how those teams didn't win a natty...

Buzz's switchable philosophy was hardly ahead of its time.

It wasn't ahead of its time in college either.  The Flyin' Illini, the 40 Minutes of Hell Razorbacks, Roy Williams' UNC teams, etc. all used similar styles with guys guarding multiple positions.   Buzz was just the first to label it something.

And left out that pesky detail of outside shooting.

What version of Marquette under Buzz did you think worthy of winning a National Title?

The Crowder S16 team if Otule was healthy IMO

If you look strictly at the pieces on the team, the 2011 squad had 5 NBA players (Butler, Crowder, DJO, Blue, Buycks). That's pretty hefty, moreso than 2003.

Ah, those were great teams before their time for sure. I might throw in UNLV and MSU but might subtract Roy. He seemed to favor a Ostertag or Zeller type. That said, the prototype in both at the time was for the traditional line up. I think maybe only Izzo has been consistent in his recruiting for switchables.

Jimmy having a great year.

Had Marquette gotten by Florida, they would have faced a Louisville team that beat them in the BET by 13 just a couple weeks prior.  Then would have faced eventual national champion Kentucky (by far Cal's best UK team) in the Final Four.

That team was hardly worthy of a national championship.  It would have been a near miraculous run.  Final Four was probably the best to hope for.

I think the 2013 team had a better shot not because I thought that MU team was better, but because I think the field was worse.  They get by Syracuse, I think they could have handled Michigan and Louisville.

Don't lose Otule & they win more reg season games, get a different seed, don't play Florida, etc. Not the same bracket at that point. Agree field was worse in 2013 but Crowder was a better alpha dog than Blue.

Maybe they beat GTown but I don't see them beating any other team that year. LSU has 4 or 5 players Otules size, with or without him we get dominated down low. Cuse, ND and Cinci were never close games that we may have won.

Buycks with 14/2/4 tonight in 17 minutes in a 7-point loss to Heat

He shot well from the field. Glad to see him making the most of his opportunity.

Might be remembering wrong didn't we barely lose the LSU game?

This is the reason Scoop exists!  Good arguments...

[Herman Cain]

Jamil was waived by the Clippers. He ran out of days on his 2 way contract. Clippers had injuries and had no cap room so they had to bring up another 2 way player from their G League. I think if Jamil clears Waivers Clippers will be able to re assign him to their G league team and then be in a position to bring him up again on 10 day contracts.

[nyg]

With Griffin and Johnson back and with Dekker on bench, Jamil's fate was sealed.

16 tonight for Buycks in the Detroit's win over Houston.    4-5 from three.
