He was in earlier. Didn't take a shot.

Are there any combo teams this year? There were a couple I think last year, I know Philly shared with someone.

Richard Hendrix is somehow playing for both Indy and the Clipps.

I don't think so. Last year it was us & Philly sharing, but it was a completely pointless exercise. Glad we didn't go down that route this year.

Koufos looks more terrible than I remembered. Some team's going to have to take a chance on Shawne Williams, he just has too much talent to not make it.

I'm surprised Hendrix showed up, he's apparently been getting very lucrative offers from high level European teams. He was one of the best big men in the ACB last year.

He hasn't had much opportunity to do anything. They've not been looking for him much on offense.

hayward got a nice stroke, 6 fast points

Grinder · 07-05-2010, 02:05 PM

You can always tell who's under contract and who's not in Summer league.

Most of these drafted rookies and signed players play within the flow of the game and don't force much, while the guys fighting for a roster spot are looking to get theirs and often look out of control.

I was encouraged at how well he was attacking the boards.

Collins looks pretty solid with the J and seems to have decent playmaking skills.
