Lady Luck, you hardly get paid anything in the D-league, which is why most guys would rather go overseas. Plus you can star in the d-league and never get called up or just constantly get called up for 10 days..not really a ballers dream when u can pull a josh childress or pop mensu bonsu and get paid millions to star in europe.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a team like the C’s, Lakers, or Suns, someone with a tight group of players and a long term strategy scooped him up and put him on IR for the season. Phoenix could be a perfect fit because Nash only has 2-3 years left. New York could scoop him for the low, and in D’Antoni’s offense he could thrive. Being 6’7″, he can take responsibility of guarding bigger players as well. Just a thought. Nice post Austin.

As hard pressed as Miami is for a point guard, this says a lot about his progress. I agree that maybe he just isn’t ready yet. If he can play, maybe the D-League would be the best situation for him. He can get some minutes to try to regain his game legs. Maybe he’ll get picked up this season, maybe not, but he will be visible to NBA teams.

Why is the D-League looked at like a prison sentence or something? They are still getting paid to play basketball on a high level with a realistic possibility of getting an opportunity to play in the NBA. Sounds like a great situation for a young talented player.

When he was a rook the Clips held a team scrimmage that the fans could come and watch and get a chance to shoot a half court shot. The Clips teamed you up with a player, my player counterpart was Chris Kaman, man I never realized how big those guys were until I saw them up close! Anyways, he told me that in order to make the half court shot I would need to run towards half court and chuck the ball two handed, of course all of the so called ballers were just talking jumpshots to try and impress the players, but they missed rim and backboard every time. Myself, I did as Chris had instructed me, it hit rim, but I got consolation tickets to the opener that season. Anyways that night Shaun put on a showcase of why he should have been the next Magic, he drove to the hoop on the right side, blowing past his defender and through a behind the head no look pass to the offensive player following him, it was straight sick!

Def. one of those players that is so fun to watch and that you really pull for to see succeed.

Guys got handles. It’d be awesome if the suns picked him up, if they gave him enough playing time, it might be fun to watch a suns game again.
