Recapping a Busy Night In The D-League

Just my thoughts as I peruse the box scores with close attention to potential NBA Gatorade Call-ups.  I mean, seriously, there's like 40 former NBAer's with in the D-League with RidiculousUpside.  Here's a rundown

  • Reno 102, Idaho 91 -- Reno was led by Richie Frahm, who scored 25 points, but contributed nothing else to the box score.  Patrick Ewing Jr. came off the bench to score 20 points, had eight boards, and swatted four shots, though shot just 4-for-13 from the field.  Gerry McNamara had 15 points and five assists off the bench, including 4-for-6 from 3-point territory.  For the Stampede, Former Cav Lance Allred had 20 points and five boards, former Bobcat Kevin Burleson had 10 points, six assists, and former a-lot-of-teams Luke Jackson had 15 points, seven assists, and five turnovers. 
  • Erie 98, Sioux Falls 96 -- Erie had four players in double figures, led by Erik Daniels, who scored 21 points, had seven assists, and six rebounds.  For Sioux Falls, Bobby Jones had 22 points andd 1 boards.  John Edwards had 15 points, eight rebounds. Kasib Powell missed his second straight game.
  • Albuquerque 120, Tulsa 114 -- For Albuquerque, 6'8", 320 pound Jasper Johnson dominated.  He had 42 points and 19 rebounds.  Keith McLeod had a career game, scoring 29 points and dishing 11 assists, somehow getting to the line TWENTY times.  Will Conroy was a DNP, presumably with an eye injury.  Tulsa was led by former Jazz first round pick Ryan Humphrey, who put up 42 points and 11 rebounds.  Draft eligible Keith Clark scored 20 points and had eight rebounds.
  • Iowa 107, Utah 96 -- Iowa was led by 6'5" guard Othyus Jeffers, who scored 27 points and added nine rebounds.  Demetris Nichols had 25 points, but turned the ball over five times.  The Flash were led by Ronald Dupree with 22 points, five boards, five assists.  Dontell Jefferson added 19 points.
  • Los Angeles 116, Anaheim 104 -- The D-Fender's were led by Gabriel Hughes, who I have no clue about.  He finished with 22 points and 15 boards off the bench.  Lakers' second round pick Joe Crawford had 20 points.  CJ Giles, Dwayne Mitchell, and Longar Longar all didn't play.  Anaheim was led by James White, who had a great all-around game.  He scored 33 points, had 11 boards, and seven assists.  Hawks send-down Othello Hunter had 10 points and 11 rebounds and teammate Thomas Gardner had 26 points and seven boards.
  • The Bakersfield Jam snuck by RGV, with a 107-106 victory.  Derrick Byars led Bakersfield with 24 points and seven boards.  Mateen Cleaves added 13 points and 14 assists.  RGV was led by former Cav Jawad Williams, who had 24 points.  Jared Jordan also had a good game, best in the D-League by far, with 23 points, nine assists, and six rebounds.

Tulsa/Albuquerque

The 66ers got out to a great start and had an early 10 point lead that they carried all the way through halftime. Albuquerque chipped away at the lead in the 3rd, and took over the game for good. Jasper Johnson is like a freakin’ mack truck, there was no stopped that guy. For the 66ers, it seems like they don’t have a presence inside, outside of Ryan Humphrey who was scoring points all night long. He did a nice job putting in a lot of garbage buckets.

Also, Keith Clark impressed me with his coverage of the floor, and did a nice job battling inside. Keith Clark is a customer of mine (in the real world) so it was cool to finally see him live and in action.

That's a big problem with Tulsa

No inside presence will hurt you. They had Chris Richard and Steven Hill, both who had potential to be best bigs in the D-League, but injuries have limited them severely.

Ridiculous? I think Not.
Upside? Plenty.

I agree...

Makes me wish the Thunder would have thrown Mo Sene down to the D-League before just outright giving up on the guy. Its starting to look like Presti is trying to get rid of everything pre-2007/08 Seattle.
