Frank Jackson was named GLeague player of the week a few minutes ago.

The Stars and Sioux Falls are tied for fifth one game behind the Lakers GLeaguers.

The Stars are rolling with a 9 point win on the road vs the Magic GLeaguers. Tyler Cook was the star going for a double double with 10-10 shooting and 4 blocks. Frank Jackson and Juzang both had over 20 points. Cook and Juzang tied for the leading assister. Same teams tomorrow from sunny Florida.

Stars win streak gets snapped in a 10 point loss to Lakeland. Rawlie Alkins had a triple double and Stacy Davis had a double double tonight and was the leading scorer with 36 points. No Juzang tonight as he was apparently with the Jazz tonight. The Stars played with eight players and their bench did them in. Davis and Frank Jackson were the only Stars with a + in the box. Also in the GLeague Stars alum Paris Bass dropped 50 points with 11 boards, Elijah Hughes had 20 points and Trent Forrest had 8 points 9 rebounds.

RJ Hampton played for Lakeland and had 22 points against the Stars. He might be a guy Ainge and company are interested in.

Stars beat the Skyforce last night to move ahead of them in the standings. Five players finished in double figures for the Stars. Tyler Cook led the team with 26 points on 13-of-17 from the field and added seven rebounds, and four assists. Christian Vital came off the bench to record 23 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. Jeenathan posted a near double-double with 22 points, and nine rebounds, while Rawle Alkins, coming off his previous game’s triple-double, talled 20 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. Frank Jackson finished with 18 points, four rebounds and two assists. Justin Champagnie led the Skyforce in scoring, notching a double-double to finish with a game-high 43 points to go with 13 rebounds. Another Skyforce player Ainge and company might keep an eye on is Brandon McCoy who is a center that was a McDonald's All American and played a year at UNLV.

I see that Stanley Johnson is back playing for Sioux Falls.

The GLeague All Star game exposed Scoot as a fraud. I think I would rather have Trey Burke as the point guard of the future. Scoot and Jimmer play similar stout, solid defense.

I the wake of the Frank Jackson signing the Stars signed 6'6" CJ Elleby a 2nd round pick of the Blazers in 2020. In other words he was selected after Bolmaro, Dok, Elijah Hughes and Saben Lee.

In the NGAF category the Kings made a couple of moves yesterday. They signed PJ Dozier to a rest of the season contract and waived small forward KZ Okpala who just underwent minor knee surgery and is out for the season. KZ was a high second round draft pick in 2019 much higher than THT. I think both would be worthy of Summer League invitations to see what they have.

Stars with a road win vs Santa Cruz. Christian Vital the leading scorer with 24. Potter is back from elbow surgery and had a double double and led the team in assists. Jeenathan with a strong game.

As the Jazz are scrimmaging the Spurs on Monday, the Stars get to welcome the Wisconsin Herd and Elijah Hughes and Paris Bass back to Salt Lake.
