Dumb question but what’s the point of having an eastern or say lance jones on these teams in SL but they don’t even get a shot to play?
Not a dumb question to me. I don't get it either. Some of these teams have 15 or more players on them. Guys even the biggest of college hoops fans won't know.
They have plenty of opportunities to prove themselves in practice. There are up to 20 opportunities on roster (15 active, 2 inactive, and 3 2-way). Conley, dillingham, Walker, Edwards, mcdaniels, ingles, towns, Reid, gobert, tsj, Miller, Garza have guaranteed contracts and will take up 11 spots. Jesse edwards and nix have two of the 2-way contracts. You would assume they won’t use up an inactive until they have an injury. So we are looking at 4 spots and 2 2-way contracts to play for. They played six guys that aren’t guaranteed. Those guys are probably fighting for the last 4 spots. The final two-way contract will probably be based on positions of need. They are not frequently called up. So not much point in letting the others compete for the last two way contract when it’s likely one of those six that played will get it.
Didn’t he switch from shooting lefty to righty?What do you mean by that, Mr. Purvis?
By the way - no offense, but peanut butter has no place on a cheeseburger
He did at Purdue when his shooting got so bad. I don’t know what he did now though, he’s shooting 83.3% from the line (small sample size of 36 shots) and over 50% overall. Can’t hit a 3 still.
He is naturally right handed. But for some reason had switched to shooting left handed earlier in his career. That’s mentioned in this J&C article from 2019. https://www.jconline.com/story/spor...e-objective-purdues-nojel-eastern/4403465002/
They get opportunities because they teeter on the level it takes to play in the nba.
What do you mean they have no chance? Mathias has played in 14 nba games including 2 starts (yes in covid, but he played the next year too). He made over a quarter million those two years.
I have three friends who made MLB rosters off and on. I didn't research how many games it takes to qualify for NBA retirement, but that is what these guys are most likely looking at. My MLB friends got called up for ten games stretches (remember, they play 182 games) and I think they all finally got retirement.
They need to play one game a year for 3 years to enter into the NBA retirement program.
Iirc carsen Edwards got it (barely). Dakota needs just one more game!
Don't know why the difference but Nojel's stats were slightly better last year per this site: https://gleague.nba.com/player/1630705/nojel-eastern

I coached Dunwoody, Bruntlett, Sable, Loggins, and Beigh in Basketball. Dunwoody, Bruntlett and Sable all earned World Series Rings (although Sable was dropped for the World Series, he still earned a ring. ). ... then Josh Lindblom, Dan Sattler and Dane Secott. I coached them mostly in '87/'88/'89
I think I know who you are. Definitely a Harrison theme. I will just say my son played with most if not all of them on all-stars. I have coached many of them myself. I count Jerry Galema and Jake Burton as friends also. The good old days before travel ball took over. Grandson played at Harrison last weekend and won that tourney. My oldest Grandson is now the golf pro at Battleground now funny how everything seems related.
Never coached for a school. all spring/summer teams. Was '87 the great football team?
I haven't seen Kevin Bacon mentioned -- yet.
