The Broken-Hearted -- 2021 Edition

This year as every year, but I think especially this year, some guys with significant NBA potential do not get drafted. Where do they wind up & how do they do?

Some guys I & others here were interested in:

Accounted for:
Joel Ayayi -- on a 2-way with the Lakers.
Austin Reaves -- ditto
Justin Champagnie -- Toronto Raptors (2-way)
Sam Hauser -- Boston Celtics (2-way)
Jordan Schakel -- Golden State (2-way)

Still available at this writing:
Mathew Hurt
Julian Champagnie
Vrenz Bleijenbergh

I'd like to sign Champagnie!

Mac McClung signed by the Lakers to an exhibition contract, I'll be curious to see how he does in Summer League

A soul classic by the great Jimmy Ruffin…the older brother of David Ruffin of The Temptations. Brings back a lot of memories!

Memories? Zards, you weren't even born when this great song was released! Me, I was married, had a 1-year old daughter, I was teaching college....

Have we ever talked about the Sutherland Lounge? Have I ever told you about buying Miles a drink when I was 15...?

Life is long my friend -- which is weird since it goes by in an incredible flash!

Back to the subject at hand!

julian champagnie still doesn't have a deal with a team. I don't get it. Take a look at his stats at St. Johns: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/julian-champagnie-1.html

This is an outstanding NBA prospect. Sign him.

He pulled out of the draft a couple weeks ago, he's going back to St. John's for another year.
