Talk about love for the game.

He must be going crazy seeing Mahinmi make $16 million a year while he's out there busting his ass in the G-League.

Young is definitely not afraid to shoot. In game 2, he made 6 of 17 shots in 26 minutes, but he did make 7 of 10 FT's, missed all 4 of his 3's - as the 87ers lost by 2 to the Knicks - led by Trey Burke - with 43 points. Devin Robinson did well - making 5 of 7 shots - but played only 12 minutes.

Youngin as a name is so DC that it would have been perfect to hear Buck saying Youngin is hustling out there! But alas...mike young doesnt have that go go swing.

One of his teammates is Marc Loving. I saw Superbad yesterday. Marc Loving may be McLovin. Actually, the most interesting player on that team, imo, is Emeka Okafor - trying to get noticed at age 35. 13 rebounds and 2 blocks in 18.5 minutes.

Btw, Young also had 5 assists vs 1 to. I think he's got to show more proficiency with his 3ball to make it to the NBA.

Look at what Andrew White did for their opponent, the Red Claws. Boston owns his rights....

Anyone here familiar with two-way rules? I noticed this on the tap regarding the Suns.

The Suns will need a roster spot by Dec. 6th when the two-way contract of Mike James needs to convert into a regular roster spot.


With only one spot open on our roster, do our two players in the G-League revert to unprotected status if we don't add one of them to the roster?

No. It's that they have needed Mike James -- he's their starting PG & is 5th on the team in minutes. The maximum a two-way player can spend w/ the NBA team is 45 days. December 6th will mark his 46th day. So they need to get him on the 15-man roster.

Thanks PIF. So after 45 days, what is the status of our two-way players?
