No link yet, but won't be long.

You found your extra guard; Sundiata Gaines, a scorer out of Georgia. In the D-League this year he was averaging 23.9 points, 6.9 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 2.3 steals. He's not a great shooter, is small for a primary scorer, and isn't overly explosive to compensate for that, but he is good.

Well, he's a New York City product from Queens.

Never heard of the guy, but that is a great name. So I'm pleased with this.

This isn't the potential deal KOC was referring to. This is the Jazz getting back to the required 13 players on the roster.

Who knows, he may end up being the next guy from the D-League who sticks in the NBA for years.

"you hear that boston...? SUNDIATA GAINES...that's a formidable lineup"

*jk*

well you're right if KOC got wes matthews undrafted then there is hope.

Does anyone believe that KOC has it in him to make some kind of move, besides signing a D-leaguer?

Post #18 » by **DelaneyRudd** » Tue Jan 5, 2010 9:13 pm

He is exploring it for sure, but the team isn't going to do some stupid Gasol like move just to prove they are doing something publicly.
