According to 95.5.

Just what we need, a fourth string PF.
 
Good move. Randolph is better than Hill and he can take a turn getting beat up by GO in practice.
 
How many minutes did the 15th roster spot play last year for us?

yeah. Who cares. Poor Hill but obviously S-Bo beat him out. So you should all just trust KP and don't you crrrrryyyyyyyy tonight!!!
 
Probably the best move, as he is the best player of the bunch. It was essentially down to Hill and Randolph since Batum stepped up after Webster's injury, which eliminated Jackson.

Sad to see Hill go, but hopefully he finds a place in the NBA. If not he should go to our D-League team!

I don't believe he can go to our D-League team unless he's on the roster. I've been saying for a couple of years that they should add two players to the roster with everyteam being allowed to keep 2 players in D-League. Make it like a farm system.
 
I've been saying it would be S-Bo. He's only like 5 pounds less and an inch or so shorter than Hill. He can take a beating from Oden just as well as Hill can. Which is obviously not that good. I would be scared shitless that guy could crush my skull with an elbow or something.

Randolph has a lot more skills than Hill does at this point, and with Diogu looking horrendous, I like having S-Bo who can play the 4 and a little of the 5. Even though he probably will get splinters up his arse.
 
When talking about marginal talents, I'll just take the best player. It's already questionable whether any of them will be good enough to contribute at need...no point making it even more unlikely by taking a worse player.

Randolph seemed to be the best player of the three, so good move.

I've always wondered who makes up the rosters of the entire D League. Not every player is on the roster of an NBA team. Do the D League teams have their own GMs who sign players to fill out the rest of their rosters? Just wondering if anyone knew..

Players for D-League teams do not sign contracts with the individual teams, but with the league itself. D-League team rosters consist of a total of 12 players, 10 (or fewer) being D-League players and 2 (or more) NBA players. The rosters are made up in a number of ways - the previous years' players, players taken in the D-League draft, allocation players (meaning players who are assigned to a team with which they have a local connection, such as a University of Texas player being assigned to the Austin Toros), NBA team assignments, and local tryouts. Each NBA team can assign two first or second year players to its affiliated D-League team. If more than two NBA players are assigned to a team, the team must reduce the number of D-League players to keep the total roster size to 12. Each team also has local tryouts, and one player from the tryouts is assigned to the team. The minimum age to play in the NBDL is 18,[10] unlike the NBA which requires players to be 19 years old and one year out of high school in order to sign an NBA contract or be eligible for the draft.

NBA teams can call up players as many times as they choose, but a player can only be assigned to the NBA D-League three times in a season.[11]

Yeah, i'm not saying that we put him down in the D-League... just saying that he should go to the D-League on his own. If he can't find a gig in the NBA or Europe he might as well, right?

It was somewhat of a joke about "our" DL team since it isn't even technically ours. At least i think not.

If I was a player I definitely would go to Europe instead of the DLeague. DLeague players make like 30,000 a year. In Europe they could make a lot more.
 
Rod Benson finally went the way of Europe I believe, hopefully he tears it up there. Would have been cool to make him our 15th roster spot for comedic relief at least.
 
Randolph, huh? Does this mean KP has a taker for Raef+Diogu+(insert young SF here)?

Josh McRoberts is essentially back. Yippy

Randolph is the realization of what McBob should have been. The guy really does have talent. From what I've seen of him play this preseason, would put him way ahead of Diogu, and maybe almost level with Frye. He doesn't have Frye's range, but he is much better around the basket, handling the ball, and hustling.
