Undrafted Rookies/Summer League

[Masala716]

Khem Birch - Dude posted 11.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.8 blocks per game. Would love to see if we can pick this guy up.

Patric Young - Center from Florida. Looked like a beast in the NCAA tournament on the glass

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Patric Young and Jahii Carson.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Fuckin' 'A'

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Never saw a UNLV game this year but heard good stuff about Birch. Plus everyone calls him Kim...like a GIRL.

Might have a chip on his/her shoulder.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

summer league fodder, might as well

 

[PDXFonz]

Sim Bhullar 7'5 350 lbs. put him on the summer league team just for size alone

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

James Mcadoo is another player to look at.

He went from lotto projected talent to undrafted.

 

[RR7]

Would love to bring patric young in

 

[Mediocre Man]

Mcadoo should be brought in for sure

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Yeah--McAdoo and Young are both going to be highly sought after UFAs, IMO. I'd like to see Young and MyLe in the gym together.

Bhullar is the epitome of "giant stiff". Like Pavel Podkolzine. He'll never play in the bigs.

There are a couple of guys I'd like to see on our summer league roster:
DeAndre Kane. Iowa State. 6'4", 17.1 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 5.9 apg, 1.2 spg, 2.0 a/t, 39.8 3p%. He's 25 yrs old, but he's got solid overall stats.
Jordan Bachynski. Arizona State. 7'2", 11.5 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 4.0 bpg, 54.5% fg%. Top shot blocker in the nation. He's almost 25 yrs old.
Khem Birch. UNLV. 6'9". 11.5 ppg, 10.2 rpg, 3.8 bpg, 51.0 fg%. He's only 21 yrs old, just completed his junior year. 2nd in the nation in blocking shots. Number 16 in the nation in rebound.

I'll be going to Vegas to catch the last weekend of summer league. I've gone a couple of times in the past few years. It's pretty fun for a basket ball junkie like me. Each year I've seen a few old time players in the stands and/or general area - Geoff Petrie, Jim Paxon and Patrick Ewing are a few.

With Robinson, Barton, McCollum, Leonard, and Freeland on our roster this year, I'm expecting us to do pretty well. We'll see how they measure up against some of these highly touted rookies.

mocks were saying mcadoo as a top 3 pick coming out of high school, the age limit screwed him out of 20+ million dollars

Wow he is a great argument for requiring one year of college.

if he was worth the 20+million dollars shouldn't he have been worth that after x amount of years in college?

More like the age limit saved a team drafting and overpaying a bust?

I know nothing about McAdoo but seems like it if he went from being a top 3 pick out of high school.. to being undrafted after x amount of years in college... kinda seems like he shouldn't have been as highly hyped coming out of high school.

I remember Wiggins being called "The next LeBron" after his SR year of high school. I don't think anyone believes he's going to be on LeBron's level anymore do they?

just read a little on McAdoo.... Some said he would have been a top 5 pick after his freshman year.... he stayed in college by his OWN CHOICE for two more years. He had one more year of eligibility left... The age rule does not apply here.

"Do you like Appling?"

Someone tell me how I should feel about this.

Went to college with Lillard. I'm sure it means a lot to him.

 

[Scalma]

And he's also from Oakland. Summer league will be fun

 

[kevinj2010]

Craig Brackins will be on the Blazers summer league team, 6'10 PF from Iowa State. Was drafted in the first round by the 76ers in 2010.

Was dame like "take a look at this kid"?

 

[PDXFonz]

Keith Appling actually looks promising. If he can end up being a quality back up pg day one then we would have better options for the MLE to strengthen the bench.

 

[BBert]

That's cool.

Looks like he drives and finishes well. I'm interested to see how he does in summer league.

This is definitely a draft that is capable of producing a Wesley Matthews type player.

 

[Mediocre Man]

For those asking for a scouting report on the summer league guys, they are all lottery talent

Khem Birch does look awfully nice among comparable names. Just wish we knew who he was playing against when he got those blocks.
