2016-17 SXF Skyforce & D-League Thread

Not sure but he hurt it before he was cut, which I believe is why he was cut.

I do agree with you on Benson, although I would say Okaro deserves a call up the most for his consistency. IMO neither Okaro or Benson look like NBA players but based on consistency they deserve call ups

Look at his tape Bish, he finishes w/ both hands. 18ft is wet, blocks and rebounds like no ones business. Dude can play. He's playing against smaller and less cordinated folks, so not sure. I like him more than Weber. Weber makes me think too much.

The League's new CBA agreement pushing rosters to 17 and establishing two-way contracts are fantastic for Miami's development. Guys like Luis Montero, Briante Weber, Jarnell Stokes, and maybe even Keith Benson will definitely benefit at least as far as the HEAT's development is concerned. Imagine having Montero/Weber or Stokes at the end of the bench developing.

At the half, Weber already has 4 steals against Texas. He had 6 last game and a double-double with points and assists. Tonight he has 13 points, 4 assists, and 1 turnover, but we're only halfway through.

We aren't boxing out inside and we're giving up lots of offensive rebounds.

Briante 31pt trip dub worth mentioning. Skyforce having another solid campaign

I can't wait for the HEAT to get that exception from the Winslow injury. We need to snatch him up.

Impressed with Webs commitment to the 3 point shot, even tho it's stil broke. Shooting a better percentage than Okaro (Only 34.3%, compared to his 40% last year) on 3 attempts a game

Would love to get Webs or Stokes this year, even if only for a short time

Exception from the Winslow injury? Do you mean a Disabled Player Exception? Jan 15 is the deadline to apply. If we had applied for a DPE before Jan 15, we would have to cut one of our players from the roster.

http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q25 <- search for "Disabled Player Exception"

Unless you mean the league hardship clause that temporarily allows a team to have 4 inactive players on their roster:

cbafaq-q79 wrote:A hardship can be deemed to exist when a team has four players who are sick or injured and have missed at least three regular season games, and will continue to be unable to play. If a hardship is granted, the hardship ends when one of the sick or injured players is physically able to resume playing. The team must then release player(s) to get back to the roster limit, although teams have the option to retain the hardship player and release a different player to get back to the limit.

http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q79

We already used that to get White and will need to release players from the roster to add more.

YALL shouldve heard the way Simon was talking about Weber, youd think he was next on the list, unless someone good shakes free. He can't talk for ****. Watchin this game on ESPNU.

Check out ho this guy finishes w/ contact and his off hand. Also notice he went 16/19 at FT line. I already like him more than Weber honestly.

So many new guys come in and out that I hardly pay attention to any of them, have no idea when Patrick Miller hit the floor. Might not get a call up but good for SXF's champ run I guess lol

Patrick Miller was Robert Covington's teammate at Tennessee State.

Bri's commitment to the 3ball is his ticket back into the league, he just needs to keep showing his willingness. 6-10 yesterday from 3
