What Rookie player is going to the D-League first?

exactly what i was thinking -_-

 

Machado is going down for sure. I think he will b the only Rookie. Marcus Morris will be with the Vipers yet again.

 

I didn't get to see as much of Terrence in Summer League as I would have liked. I had read somewhere that the mechanics of his shot were off (relying on professional scouts' opinions rather than my own is probably the wise choice). I looked to try and find the quote, but could not. NBA Draft Express (which has pretty good write-ups) was not as hard on Terrence's jump shot, so maybe I was wrong. I hope I'm wrong of course!

Another person that seems to have been forgotten about is Jajuan Johnson. From my understanding, he is no slouch. It's possible that he finds a spot in the rotation ahead of any of the rookies, which it seems would surprise most ppl on this board. Not that I'm predicting that - it's just a possibility.

 

I'd really like to see Jajuan get some time at 3 in training camp. The post game is not really his strength, but he's athletic and has great length. We could have a starting/reserve front-court all over 6'9. That would be awesome.

 

Machado and R.White

 

How's his lateral movement? He played center in college....

Even though it seems to be attempted often enough, I would think transitioning from a 4 to a 3 would be really hard. Going from guarding slow post players to quick wings....just seems really hard....

 

Royce White.

 

White is most likely the first to go down to Rio Grande. Idk where he gets minutes.

 

Royce Alexander White because he lacks quickness to play the SF and height to play PF. Hopefully he can shine in summer camp and get a spot

 

NONE of them (Lamb, White, DMo, TJones) should see the D-League!!!!!!!
They should let them grow together
Mchado is likely to visit Rio Grande for a while

 

T-Jones is starter from Day 1

Royce going down to develop offense IMO

 

I thought so too, but looks like Ppat is ahead of the competition.

 

i'm no prophet ... probably Lamb.

if the starting 5 is Lin, Martin, Parsons, Patterson & Asik then alternately skilled substitutes would suggest small dee & big O are premium.

 

I know Scott Machado's going to the D League for sure. Aaron Brooks made a couple of D-League stops before he finally got consistent playing time.

 

Mr. White or Mr. Machado are most likely, unless Lamb or Jones does something stupid in camp and get on the coach's bad side.
