Tito will suprise, and Eddie will DOMINATE! Summer League Predictions Tito-12 ppg, 4rpg, 7 apg Eddie-22ppg, 10 rpg, 4 bpg
Maybe I am wrong, but wasn't Pete Mickael a great defensive player at Cinci? He could quite possibly be the backup for Cat seeing as how Cuttino plays LOTS of minutes. I could see Mickael maybe making the team as a defensive guard getting 5-10 mins per.
DOD: Try and see some Mavs games, and look for a player named Tyrone Ellis. He's a 6'4 guard, real good..... Also, watch Aaron McGhee tear it up for the Warriors
I think Dane Fife will be a TERROR from the 3 pt line. The guy has tons of heart. He proved that in the tournament. I hope he surprises everybody and makes the team, like Tierre Brown last year.
Fife a 3 point terror? I know he's a good defender with a lot of heart, but 3 point terror??? If he makes the team over Torres, Maddox, or maybe even Brown I will be mad. or maybe I'm still bitter about the Final Four
Was checking out a couple of box scores over at Pro exposure and ran across Tyrone Washington(2pts,2reb,2blk,12min) on the clips summer league team. I think he was a 2nd round choice of ours 3 or 4 years ago. Was wondering if he would ever make it back from Europe. Also, found a schedule for the SPL on their(home) website. Looks like there will be a playoff of some sorts. Summer Pro League Saturday, July 20 10:30 12:45 3:00 Semifinals 5:15 Rockets v. Heat 7:30 Semifinals Sunday, July 21 10:30 12:45 3:00 5:15 Championshipifinals Maybe it`s for the non-league teams there(Young guns, Dada, etc...). Hope the links work, it`s my first attempt.
I also noticed that Stais Boseman was on the Laker squad, and Alex Jensen was also on the Lakers, I believe. Also, of note, Thomas "Two Sandwiches" Hamilton put up some real nice numbers for the Mavs. Man, I would hate to see him stick with the Mavs, of all teams.
