Just came here to say you guys are my favorite GLeague team.

I love it.

Hopefully they'll get Wale to do an opening night show & can attract a good audience. Love everything about the team.

Yeah, I'd like to know if they drafted any CCJ All-Stars since I've been impressed with his scouting acumen over the years.

The guy is 31 years old and 2 full years removed from playing any regular minutes in the NBA. I guess maybe he's the Crash Davis of the G-League roster.

Veteran presence. We’ve had our eye on him for a long time.

Without even seeing the roster I know I liked Luke Harangody when he was at Notre Dame

When you look at under-sized centers he almost fits the bill.

Since he's 30 and lost his starting job for Darüşşafaka in the Russian league over the last 2 years, if that's your best hope, I doubt we get anything out of the current Go-Go roster.

Here's the guys we took in the expansion draft: https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/wizards/your-first-look-capital-city-go-go-roster-after-expansion-draft

This is not "the roster," as it doesn't include either Devin Robinson or Jordan McRae, our 2-way players, whose home base will be the Go Go.

Given that each team was able to protect 12 players, there are some surprising names on this list:

Lavoy Allen -- he has played almost 7000 minutes in the NBA & has been a reasonably competent journeyman -- with the one problem that he can't really score the ball. I think he's taken a total of 15 3-point shots in all those 7K minutes. If he could shoot at all, he'd be in the league. Yet his G League team didn't think he was one of their top 12 players.

Alonzo Gee -- see above under "Lavoy Allen." (Though not as lame a scorer as Allen).

Tyler Harvey -- this is a different kind of surprise. Why would you pick a guy whose NBA rights are owned by another team?

Stephen Zimmerman -- Came out after his Freshman season & was picked #41 in the 2016 draft. Some people here liked him. Not even 22 yet, & already a bust. Sad....

I forgot about them. My high school (Kennedy ‘84) was all about EU and Rare Essence.

I went to HS In St Mays County (84-88). All who would show up was Trouble Funk, JYB, Little Benny and Chuck Brown. Like 84-86'

Had to go to PG or DC or had to fight people at Calvert annex to see Essence or Ayre Rayde and I could not drive at the time.
