For Othyus Jeffers, The Utah Jazz's Most Recent Call-Up, Defense Is The Backbone
I'm going to be honest, I didn't really expect Othyus Jeffers to get called-up this season, but I'm really happy he did. You're probably wondering, then, why I haven't ranked him in any of my call-up lists. It's because I underestimated NBA GM's in the sense that they actually look at more than...
Joe Alexander! Othyus Jeffers! It's the D-League (Almost) Live on VERSUS!
Yes, the D-League is back on Versus for their now weekly "Saturday night game of the week!" The best news is, according to my DVR system, bull riding is not live beforehand, so the game might actually start at 10 pm Central Time as planned. Even if it doesn't, my dream job at age seven was to be...
NBA Summer League Roundup, Featuring the All Unnoticed Team
As you more than likely know, I was in Las Vegas, Nevada running the game op's during the Vegas Summer League, which is why I haven't checked in with you all for a couple of weeks. From Wednesday, July 8th right up until an hour and a half before we announced Rory White as head coach of the Dakota...
D-League Player Profiles: Othyus Jeffers
Since I learned yesterday that Othyus Jeffers would be one of the players in Memphis' massive D-League tryout starting today, I found it only fitting that I take my turn on the player profiles train and give a little love to Othyus Jeffers. Jeffers, a 6'5", 200 pound swingman out of Robert...
Memphis Grizzlies Holding D-League Workouts; D-League Has A Summer League Team
We've been short on any major announcements since the D-League season ended other than the Bakersfield situation. Two decent sized announcements tonight, however. The Memphis Grizzlies are apparently hosting a large D-League audition, and it seems to be focusing mainly on defense. Confirmed...
D-League Draft In Review, 2008 Edition
Yesterday, Jon L had a great comment when I posted the first pick of my re-draft: That's actually a tricky variable to the draft that speaks to the sort of limbo many D-League teams find themselves in - it's true they already have seven players before the draft, but should they roll the dice...
D-League Playoff Recap: Dakota 114, Iowa 109
Remember what I said yesterday about the Dakota Wizards lacking heart? Well, apparently they have it, it just doesn't show up until it seems they're about to endure the ugliest game in the D-League this season. The game started out with Iowa hot, taking it from 6-4 to 23-6 in about five minutes,...
Playoff Game Thread: #6 Dakota @ #3 Iowa
If Courtney Sims returns (which isn't a for sure), Iowa is really good. If Sims doesn't return, Iowa is still good, albeit lacking an offensive inside presence - they have the Rookie of the Year in Othyus Jeffers and quietest Magic Johnson like number putter-upper, along with a sharp-shooter, a...
D-League Call-Up Rankings - Hey Potential, Meet Reality!
We've done different versions of this over the past few weeks between my Prospect/Quick Fix list and Jon's playoff hopefuls (East and West). This morning though, I figured we'll go back to the list. It's pretty tough to do this list, as there are about six myself and Jon both agreed on and the...
I miss Sun Yue and other thoughts from last night in the D-League
Yes, that is Sun Yue being dunked on by Cedric Bozeman First off, I usually write my blogs late at night, after I've finished responding to my fan mail (Thanks Uncle Marv!) and before Red Eye on Fox News. Why does this matter to you? It doesn't. Just figured I'd let you know. WAIT! It does! ...
