NBA: Cyclones' off-season: contracts, draft, summer league
- Thread starter I-stateTheTruth
- Start date
Nice! I did some digging. Babb had the most minutes at 37 (out of 40; that's high for Europe). His teammate, one Hans Brase, played 20 minutes and had 5 pts. I don't know how anyone gets shots when they're playing with ex Seton Hall ballhog Khadeen Harrington. Our guys got a n 89-87 win in their BBL (German League) opener.
Great story on Matt Thomas from yahoo sports Canada. I’ve never heard of the story about his mom expanding the backyard slab so he could have a 3pt line before.

Interesting segment with Georges on Utah radio (about 20 minutes). He's got a future in broadcasting, I think. He starts with things that he did back in Ames this summer. It's a good listen.

I didn't listen, but he is definitely preparing himself for it. Hopefully he shows out this year and can earn that 2nd contract to get paid. I thought that he started doing more Niang type things by scoring in the lane at the end of the year, instead of just being a spot up 3 guy.
About a minute of a shirtless Lebron taking flat footed 3's, but 30 seconds at the end with THT showing some nice ball handling. I may have to get NBA League Pass to watch all of the cyclones playing the late night games out west.
Edit: I also have read that the Lakers are still taking it slow with Talen due to his stress fractures in his foot. I wonder if he will be cleared to get some preseason run.

Maybe I should change this thread title to include "pre-season".
Naz played in the Pacers' 2nd pre-season game with just a couple minutes on the floor and no real stats to speak of. 14 guys got more PT than he did. Not sure what to make of that.
I was excited to see that Georges got into the Jazz' game in the 1st quarter and then saw that Gobert, Exum, D. Mitchell and Mike Conley weren't playing. Georges didn't have a great shooting start to the pre-season - 3-14 FG, 1-9 3PT and 7 PT, to go with 4 REB and 3 AST.

They said he had an allergic reaction to something when they were in Mumbai. He played a little in their second game.
That's great for Nick!
What an usual stat line for just about anyone but not so surprising for him.
I checked the box score and Hans Brase only got 1 bucket in 9 minutes of PT in that game.
