So who is available? Not much. Trevon Duval from Duke. Brandon McCoy from UNLV, a legit big. Malik Newman from Kansas, Rawle Akins from Arizona. Gary Clark from Cincinnati. Alonzo Trier from Arizona. Kenrich Williams (PF) from TCU. Bonzie Colson from ND (6-5, 230 PF), Billy Preston from Kansas/Lithuania (6-10, 240).

Clark would be nice. Would soften the 2nd round vomit.

Still nothing. No summer league team this year?

That only gives them his rights for SL. He's still an undrafted free agent.

Yeah, most of these guys are summer league invites, so you still have a chance to sign them and some will play for two teams.

The Raptors signed Rawle Alkins to a training camp invite already. Interesting. He was one of the best left. I think he really should have been drafted. He might have been my favorite undrafted player. Damn! That was fast.

It's like they have a good GM or something

Florida guard Chris Chiozza received a SL invite to Wiz. Yay!

Agreed. This is where Ernie fails. I'm okay with his picks this season. I'm not okay with his inability to really push boundaries and be creative in how he adds talent.

I mean... a BPM of 8.4 and 9.9 in back to back years aint bad. I looked at all the upperclassman (Jr/Sr's) in the last 3 years who had a OBPM/DBPM of 4.5 & 3 (Chiozza was at 5/5 and 5/3.5) along with an AST% above 25% (Chris was at 30 and 36%)... It happened only 10 times.
The other players:

Denzel Valentine
Thomas Walkup
Jevon Carter
Gary Payton
Derrick White
Nigel Goss
Kris Dunn
Fred Van Fleet
and Chris Chiozza...Twice.

That means something as all those guys are legit NBA caliber players. And chiozza appears to be a NBA caliber shooter (Issues with Payton and Walkup)

Interesting, I hadn’t researched him at all before saying that, just saw a few college games. Gonna do my homework now.

Yeah, he has a great assist-to-turnover ratio. But not many 6-footers get drafted unless they are very athletic.

Also, Billy Preston is still out there.

He reminds me of Van Fleet defensively. Not overly big, long, or quick... but pesky and smart... Though Van Fleet was clearly the superior offensive player
