CFTV: White/Brackins postgame reaction

[SNEDDS3]

Team owners might not like it, but I don't think it's written into contracts. NBA players play pickup and charity games during the off season. Didn't Lebron and D-Wade do one last summer that was televised on ESPN?

Didn't lebron get dunked on?

Was that last year? I remember the event you're discussing, but I thought that happened a few years ago, at some offseason basketball camp, I thought.

It was 2009, my bad.

Carry on.

Brackins was the 21st pick in the draft. That seems to be around where White is projected. To me White seems to be a much better NBA prospect and I think he will be playing major minutes right from the start. Brackins has played something like 18 games over 2 years and has been released.

Did the NBA get it wrong on Brackins or are they getting it wrong on White (or am I over-rating White).

Met Craig a few times and I can say he is as nice in person. Tough to find better guys in college basketball and the NBA than Brackins and Royce.

Great guys. And committed to our program and good causes. Hope the money and "hangers-on" don't mess things up for Royce.

Brackins ended up in a terrible spot. At least offensively, he could contribute somewhere.

Not likely.

 

[Cycsk]

Not likely.

He has a very sweet jumper, good quickness, good size and strength, and he gets up and down the floor. I don't have trouble seeing him land at least a role coming off the bench to keep the offense scoring. In fact, I could see him being a great 6th man, if not a starter.

my guess is overseas

That just happened last night...

As pro's... Only 1 was a pro. I meant 4.

This a guy that just got cut by the Sixers. What makes you think he could be a 6th man/starter on anybody elses team.

Seeing him in person yesterday made it seem impressive but I guarantee you any other pro would have the same effect on you as CB did.

He has good quickness, height, and a great shot. If he gets a mismatch on a shorter guy, he can score at will. Granted it was the CCL, but Royce did nothing to affect his shot. I could see him coming off the bench for a team's top scorer and giving 5-10 minutes a game of potent scoring.
