Bennerman puts fans in the stands apparently

11/22/2013 9:42:03 AM

Lozobo had 5 points in 1 min in his career debut two nights ago

That's a 290 PPG pace

It sucks that the Trail Blazers are so damn good and pretty well stocked with forwards. Richard deserves a call up, but I don't see it happening unless one of their 5 forwards gets injured

11/27/2013 11:40:27 AM

I hope Richard makes lots of money one day.

atta boy. Couldn't imagine big Rich in today's ncaa.

11/27/2013 2:20:52 PM

^^^ D-League players aren't tied to the franchise that they play for. The parent club might have first rights or something, but any NBA team can sign any NBDA player to a contract.

So as long as Howell keeps balling out he's got a shot. Here's to hoping.

Edit: Unless the player signed a contract with the parent club. I think Leslie is tied to the Knicks. Maybe someone else can clarify.

another monster game from Richard on Saturday night. 23 pts, 12 boards, 1 turnover in 34 minutes

a LOT less than we all make

12/2/2013 9:54:15 PM

I think NBA teams can park up to 2 players at a time in the NBDL and still hold their contract. I don't follow NBDL enough to know Leslie and Howell's status. When a team holds a contract, other teams can still trade for them if they impress enough (and their trade value exceeds their value as a developmental prospect to their current team).

12/2/2013 9:57:53 PM

I guess Cam got picked up by another DLeague team. Looks like he and Fells are teaming up on the Austin Toros (with Josh Howard).

Also, CJ Williams and Brandon Costner are both on the LA Defenders

Josh Howard is in the d-league?? I thought that mother fucker retired. He was an NBA All-Star for christ's sake. Might as well play your final years in Europe and get some good traveling in while still making some coin.

12/4/2013 9:49:53 AM

^No kidding. That list is full of some good ballers. The league is so deep that CD-R from Memphis isn't even in it.

12/4/2013 10:28:36 AM

JJ Hickson is putting in 10 and 8 this year in 25 min/g. Not shooting as well from the field and the line as he normally does...but hopefully he can pick that up.

12/5/2013 10:47:28 AM

I thought the D league was going to have an age limit of 25 or so. Countdown to D league appearance by Allen Iverson?

12/5/2013 12:43:05 PM

All of our former Wolfpackers had games last night

Richard had a monster game last night for the undefeated Idaho Stampede. 30 points, 15 rebounds, 3 steals

http://www.nba.com/dleague/games/20131207/IDAMNE/gameinfo.html#nbaGIRadio


Efficient night for Leslie with the winless Erie Bayhawks. 17 points (8-12 shooting), 5 rebounds, 2 assists

http://www.nba.com/dleague/games/20131207/CTNERI/gameinfo.html#nbaGIRadio


Fells with 14 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds. Bennerman held scoreless in 13 minutes

http://www.nba.com/dleague/games/20131207/AUSTEX/gameinfo.html#nbaGIRadio


Costner with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks. CJ Williams had 7 points, 2 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals in only 9 minutes

^Also in the NBA, Denver played Philly last night. JJ Hickson had 12 pts, 10 rebs for the Nuggets and Zo had 6 pts and 4 assists for the 76ers.

12/8/2013 12:11:49 PM

that's pros (minus the quotation marks). but, yes, I saw that too.

speaking of Lorenzo -- the 6'ers are 2-7 since he joined the team. Not saying it's his fault by any means, but he certainly hasn't helped much

12/8/2013 12:16:16 PM

Brown had 4 points a, 6 assists, and 5 turnovers in 19 minutes last night.

12/12/2013 10:22:13 AM

FYI, the Sixers are now 2-10 since Zo got called up

12/13/2013 10:16:36 PM

damn Rich is KILLING it these days.

Playing that well, Howell ought to get a call before too long (one would hope).

Quote :

"In addition to the modest salary, there are other varied perks. The D-League teams do in fact pay for player housing, provide certain benefits, and grant each of their players a $40 per-diem for food, etc. "

While it's still effectively nothing for a pro athlete, $25K/year actually isn't bad when your housing is paid for and you get a food per diem.

"daho Stampede forward Richard Howell has bought out his NBA D-League contract to play for Talk ‘N Text in the Philippines according to a source. Talk ‘N Text are currently in the quarterfinals of the All-Filipino playoff round, and Howell is expected to join them for the PBA Commissioner’s Cup. Howell, considered a top prospect in the NBADL at the forward position, averaged 18.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 20 games for the Stampede."

that's devastating news. I have tickets to the Stampede game next Saturday against the D-Fenders

at least I get to see CJ Williams and Brandon Costner

Maybe that pre-season #6 talented team that just couldn't gel last year wasn't that talented after all.....but let's not waste a bad chemistry narrative.

1/31/2014 9:38:14 PM

Could be combination of bad chemistry & lesser talent. But it would be really unfair of us to knock top blokes like Wood, Howell and Brown on either factor. They tried their best for the wolfpack!
