D-League Dudes Aplenty in Big D (and I do mean Dallas)

Sorry to interrupt this weeks regular scheduled programming... regular scheduled programming.

Mr. Matthew Brennan has done the gentlemanly thing and started blogging about the D-League again now that I've quit blogging exclusively about the D-League (though I've heard via the e-mails that many people, inside and outside the D-League want me to continue, so I can't give it up quite yet - I give my peeps what they want).

Today he tipped the world off to something I alluded it to a couple of weeks ago, before I had all of the details - the Dallas Mavericks are holding a big ol' audition for the D-Leaguer's (and random other players that played in the league you've most likely forgotten by now).

Last seasons D-Leaguer's in Dallas are as follows: Blake Ahearn, Andre Brown, Mickael Gelabale, Brandon Heath, Herbert Hill, Trey Johnson, Trent Strickland and Anthony Tolliver.  Not a bad group, not an outstanding group.

Here's the rest of the players at the tryout: Hassan Adams, Shan Foster, Sundiate Gaine, Mike Green, Quinton Hosley (is this really a basketball player?), Mike Jones (who?), Jeff McInnis, Austin Nichols, Richard Roby (Iike him), JaJuan Smith, Chris Taft and Yuta Tabuse.

My question: Which teams wins?

I'm not even sure that D-Leaguer team

would have made it out of the first round of the playoffs this year. Some decent talent, but nothing crazy.

I agree

Intriguing, no?

If that is the plan of my Mavs to compete for a title, I don't even want to see the rest

Yuta Tabuse. Jeff McInnis. Yuck. They might have some use for unsigned draft pick Shan Foster, who should have been on the team instead of useless guys like Matt Carroll (who also sports the longest and ugliest contract, so he is there to stay forever) and the inexplicably re-signed Devean George who should never again in his life shoot a three.

Foster, Trey Johnson, Andre Brown

The rest I think I’d pass on..
