Summer League, When Syracuse Rules The NBA

The NBA Summer League begins on July 10 and runs through July 19.  And in that time, Syracuse will just about double the amount of alumni it has in the league, technically-speaking.  Some of the faces are new, some are a little older.  But all will be rooted for.

Obviously, Jonny Flynn and Paul Harris will rep the Timberwolves.  Donte Greene returns to summer league for the Kings where he originally made his mark last year. Some old friends also make returns to the Summer League in an attempt to catch on in the NBA.  Demetris Nichols is apparently back, this time for the Raptors according to Mike Waters. And Darryl "Moose" Watkins is gonna give it a go for the Rockets, who are in need of some help down low now that Yao Ming is gone.

Wither Terrence Roberts?

It doesn't look like any of the teams play each other during the nine-day schedule, but hopefully they all find a little time to get together and take in a Cirque de Soleil show.

Yea...

Where did Moose come from?

He's gonna be angry that the whole world knows your pet name for him now.

And no one likes it when The Moose gets angry, unless you’re in to that sort of thing.

Demetris Nichols

word is something is wrong with his shot. The mechanics of it just went to hell. He was back at su working on it about a month ago. I guess he dosent get the one on one attention he used to at school and developed some bad habits.

So his mechanics went to hell....

…to join his shot selection which was already there waiting?

Nichols didn’t have poor shot selection. He took some odd shots when he was really on, but overall he wasn’t crazy with them. It’s not like he was McNamara out there or something. That guy had some terrible shot selection.

Shumpert

played this past season in Turkey. And, to answer Sean’s question (hypothetical though it may have been), Terrence Roberts played in Romania. He hurt himself (so it seems) during the playoffs though, I doubt he’s going to be on any NBA summer teams. But you never know. Shump’s team won the Turkish championship. I finally had some time to gather all the Pro Orange info and put it together, it’s just gone up on Cuse Country (we are not a dead blog, contrary to recent appearances).
