No more D-League for James "Flight" White
"I would probably go overseas,'' said White, a forward who averaged 25.9 points last season for the Anaheim Arsenal. "I'm not going back to the D-League. It's more financially. It's a not a good thing (financially). If I haven't proven myself from the D-League and (an NBA) team doesn't like me from being in the D-League last year, I don't think I can improve my status from the D-League. I played great last year in the D-League, and did all I can do. My best bet is to go overseas.''
Didn't last year prove to him that if he's on the cusp of the D-League to keep going hard and get the call-up? Methinks the "Flight White, now with less attitude" of yesteryear was a bit flukey.

I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but Utah Flash owner Brandt Andersen is quickly becoming the Don King of the NBA D-League.
Skeets from Ball Don't Lie Weighs in on Brandt Anderson's Latest Misguided Escapade
Last I checked, the D-League wasn't meant to be a freakshow.
...the "Claw Force One" comes onto the scene and adds another level of mystery and sweetness to the Red Claws. I actually love that they named their transport van the Claw Force One. I know RU's been harsh on the Red Claws, but it's mainly because they are hitting home runs right and left with their marketing.

Turkish star prospect Enes Kanter takes opposite road of Jeremy Tyler, comes to high school in US
The 17 year-old center/power forward billed as the next great big man out of Turkey after Mehmet Okur "signed" with renowned Findlay College Prep, Nevada, instead of taking a contract with one of the major European teams hoping to make millions soon. He might even go to college in the US. It's a weird world.
He is coming off a very strong showing in the Under 18 European Championships, including a 32 points 25 rebounds performance in a loss to France in the final and averaging 15 rebounds per game. YouTube highlights vs. Serbia (he is #14). DraftExpress profile (he has grown since then, is now 6'10'' but still has to add some muscle).

Jeremy Tyler signs with Maccabi Haifa
The team already hinted at that earlier this week, now it's on ESPN with quotes by the involved parties so I guess it's official.
It is reportedly a one year deal, paying the 18 years old Tyler $150,000 for leaving high school early and turn pro. The report lists B.J. Armstrong as his agent. I always thought that was Sonny Vaccaro. The powerful adviser in the background sticks it to Stern and the NCAA one more time: "He's saying, 'I want to be a basketball player and do it without a detour.'"
"I was the best player in San Diego this year and it was boring. Next year, it would be extremely boring," Tyler said then. "I'd go into the game with no enthusiasm."
"Tyler's size and natural talent will present matchup problems in our favor against other teams in Israel," Maccabi Haifa coach Avi Ashkenazi said. "We know Tyler is hungry to prove himself on the court. We look forward to him developing over the course of the season and improving our team."

Allen Iverson to the D-League? Hello Pipe Dreams.
This article is apparently extolling the virtues of Allen Iverson playing in the D-League. Do I think this will ever happen, especially with a player like Iverson? No. Would it be awesome? Sort of. It'd be a great ratings boost for the league, but Iverson's got no developing left to do, and he would be taking some unknown SEC player's roster spot.

2009 Clippers Summer League Roster Breakdown
Rather than duplicating efforts, we thought we'd point you over to ClipperBlog for their break down of the Clippers' Summer League team, both because they know more about the Clipper players and because they're just generally good at blogging.
