Around SBN: Previewing each NFL team as the season gets closer

Who's Left From Last Season's NBA Development League Crop?

Monday, we'll be discussing point guards, David Kahn's favorite topic. I picked this picture because he's in front of a D-League backdrop!

I wrote on Twitter last night that I was having trouble thinking of anything to write about for Ridiculous Upside.

I mean, it's August - the D-League hasn't played since April, the Summer Leagues seem like they happened months ago and.... well, that pretty much is the extent of our coverage on Ridiculous Upside.

So I took a casual stroll around the rest of SB Nation to see what people were talking about and, lo and behold, the always great CelticsBlog had a couple of interesting fan posts that caught my eye.

First, businessbmw posted "Danny still wants a SF shooter right?" and discussed a popular option around these parts: Tulsa's Larry Owens.  Then, just a few hours later, Little ticket decided that Bakersfield's Will Daniels was deserving of a training camp invite in the aptly titled fan post "Will Daniels".

So next week, since it seems like it'd be a worthwhile topic, I'm going to weigh in on the top D-League players that haven't yet signed a European contract.  I'll break down the top five (or so) players at each position and why - or why they don't - deserve a training camp invite.

We're in the doldrums of the D-League season, folks, so if you have any other topics you'd be interested in me discussing, let me know and I'll get to them as well.

Speaking about Larry O.

How about some of the reasons why this hard working, talented swing man has been relatively ignored by the NBA after a superb D-League season and success overseas. I mean in the name of JamesOn Curry, Larry deserves a chance in the NBA!

Also,

I think it’s safe to say that Mr. Kahn has yet to prove himself in the NBA as quickly as some of it’s players and coaches. I mean a team full of forwards might look good in NBA 2K11, but in the real world, not so much
