Morris, Sacre sent to D-League

[dockingsched]

If we pick somebody up they can't play in the playoffs. March 1 was the deadline for free agents to still be eligible to play in the playoffs with whatever team they decide to sign with.

you got that a bit confused. march 1st was the deadline by which players had to be waived if they were currently on an nba roster. any player that is a free agent by that day can be signed until the end of the season and be playoff eligible.

Better to be in game condition than rotting on the bench.

Could Derek Caracter be any worse than Sacre whereever he is?

I thought Caracter had looked good - was surprised when he was dumped so quick. What did you guys think of him

[JohnVancouver]

ahem - never mind




"In Short: Strong, fluid, immensely talented big man who can create shots for himself with his back to the basket as well anyone else in this draft. Has quick feet, great hands, soft touch, and the ability to score in a variety of ways around the basket. An excellent offensive rebounder. A terrible defender who will likely struggle translating his skill-level to the pros due to his poor conditioning, below average size, and inability to face the basket, find the open man or hit mid-range jumpers the way a true power forward should. A troubled young man who has been given every opportunity to change his ways and has proven himself incapable of discipline. Rejects being coached, does not abide by rules, cannot stay in shape, and thus will likely be deemed as being far more trouble than he’s worth by NBA teams.

Chances of returning to school: 0%. The question here is more “will Louisville want him back” rather than will he have any type of choice. “I have never seen anyone so far behind in the game of life,” said Louisville coach Rick Pitino about him.

Most college athletes have things like “enjoys playing chess,” and “feeds homeless children in his free time” on their college bio--Caracter has “Missed 16 games as a freshman due to off the court issues, playing in 18 games overall…missed five days in late December when he was given an indefinite leave of absence by Pitino so he could address personal issues…missed six games in Jan./Feb. after breaking the contract he had signed to remain on the team” and “Lost more than 50 pounds, down from 318 pounds when he arrived on campus as a freshman, to his playing weight of 265 with less than 10 percent body fat” on his.

I believe the rule is that players that are not on an active roster on March 1 can still be signed by a team and qualify for their active playoff roster. However, players waived after March 1 would not be eligible for playoff rosters if a new team were to pick them up.

He just promoted the stereotype by by fighting at I-HOP.

i thought caracter looked terrible and at the time i said i'd be shocked if he was in the nba much longer. didn't help that he had a serious injury that has seemingly ended his nba career so far.
