Spencer Tollackson, Jonte Flowers, some others...McHale basically states that they won't be playing in the NBA. I think that much was obvious anyway. Why did they even bother?

Potential Summer League bodies.

They did it last year too. I guess McHale said he was surprised there were players that good from D2.

Flowers has a good chance of being on our Summer League Team, similar to Luke Anderson last year. Maybe they'll invite his lesser Badger brother Michael too?

They need to fill out a summer league team so why not?

If i had to pick a player out of that list to put on the summer league team, it would be Jonte Flowers.

Big Spence would get dominated in high school.

Greg Brunner has been back here playing pick up ball at the U of Iowa, he was on the roster last year, but didn't get much pt. It looks like he's really improved his range. He's been playing overseas, but my guess is he's back for summer league.

Boy, that Winona team was something else. Probably going to be a rebuilding year for them this season though

Yes they were. I'm glad for my college's sake that Smith and Flowers won't be around. We might have a chance at beating them this year.

(FYI, if you didn't know, the one getting posterized was my brother)

Which is why he was Mr. Basketball his senior year.

Had actually followed and checked in on that thread in international. He going back next year? I wasn't aware of how long the contract was. Hopefully he did enjoy it.

I'm not sure if he's going back or not. A lot of European contracts are just one year.
