Undrafted FA's

[candrew]

One thing that got lost in the shuffle of the lockout are undrafted FA's and non-roster players.

I'll defer to the folks here who know more about college b-ball than I do. I'm figuring with no summer league and the incredibly short window before the season starts there may be a couple of decent players flying under the radar right now.

David Lighty.

I would assume most of the undrafted FA's have signed some sort of Euro deal.

aw yes, the annual who's-the-next-Wes thread. I vote for a sticky. I still miss Wes.

Jackson Emery




Sorry, I had to just get that out of the way for somebody, I don't know who.

Jamie Skeen sf/pf can shoot the three, rebound and play under pressure. I think he's playing in Europe.

Brad Wannamaker pg/sg can shoot and rebound and play two positions. I think he's playing in Italy.

Both were seniors, now playing in Europe, and can play multiple positions.

David Lighty.

He would probably be the best, but he signed in Europe.

Who cares, with a shortened preseason I doubt many if any undrafted fa. will play any role with any teams, and then consider most of the better undrafted players have signed over sea's due to the lockout.

Quinn Buckner

Am I doing it right?

I haven't been able to see if he has an NBA out-clause yet, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't.

Either way, I really like him and no one else in the draft that didn't get drafted interested me.

Jazz apparently invited some guy from UIC named Paul Carter to camp. 6'8" small forward

Never heard of him - not the best numbers in the world in college. Anyone know anything about him?

 

[BluesRocker]

I like Jamie Skeen and David Lighty too...

 

[Bucknutz]

"Lighty is set to sign a two year contract worth $300,000 and it does not include an NBA opt out clause." My favorite player from last few seasons.

Dang it, now we have to merge it with the Buckner thread.
You just ruined a good thread, jerk.

Nobody has any insight on Paul Carter?

I think Moe knows a lot about Illinois college b-ball. She may have seen him play.

Demetri McCamey is also interesting. He'd probably be a flop, and he's probably overseas without an opt-out, but he certainly brings nice size, skill, and talent to the PG position (even if his dedication to the game and/or conditioning leave a lot to be desired).

Justin Holiday could be the next Quinton Ross?

Gilbert Brown could be... uhh... the next... Raja Bell?

You can never have too many wings that defend and space the floor. Hell, if that's all the Jazz had at the wings during the Deron/Boozer years (and a real center), then I think the Jazz grab one or two titles, frankly.

How about the guy who is actually coming to camp?
