How are we able to sign so many players? Didn't we have to cut Greg Brown when we did a lopsided trade? Are 10-days different?
“First off, Minaya will be a ‘3-and-D’ guy right from the start,” Moran said by phone. “High-energy guy, great defensive guy, rebounder, hit that corner 3. He makes shots. Great locker room presence and a great teammate. “Also can finish in transition, so teams that get out and run, which is what the NBA likes.” https://www.nj.com/sports/2022/06/n...uture-as-draft-approaches.html?outputType=amp (Before last year's draft) The 6-foot-6, 210-pound forward has also worked out for the Nets, Charlotte and Utah and has workouts this week with Memphis, Atlanta and Phoenix. After transferring closer to home to Providence from South Carolina for last season, Minaya was a key member of the Big East regular-season champion Friars, who reached the Sweet 16 before losing to eventual national champion Kansas. He averaged 6.5 points and 5.5 rebounds and served as one of the best defensive players in the league. As for what he’s trying to show NBA teams, it’s a mix of defense and offense. “Obviously, my defense and then something I think teams are realizing is I’m way more athletic and I can shoot the ball way better than I did in college,” Minaya said. “Teams are kind of seeing that. They can see my versatility, that I can guard pretty much one through four.”
New scouts are rockin' away...hope they find the gems out there and draft well. This guy looks legit...6'6 is good for a 3 and D guy.
They are fishing for legitimate NBA talent. Every year there are a bunch of players who get overlooked for a variety of reasons. The talent level between rotation level players and gleague players can be razor thin. Finding the right 'fit' or opportunity can change a guy's playing career significantly. I mean Mays has shown he's much better at being a PG than either Ant or Johnson have shown this entire season. Is he a better overall player? Depends on the team's needs. It's smart to at least rummage through the Gleague talent to see if you can find a good fit.
Without these guys they couldn't field a team. Only 7 guys dressing down tonight, counting the three they signed last week. 8 if Minaya plays tonight.
Duncan Robinson - undrafted Caleb Martin - undrafted Duncan Robinson - undrafted Max Strus - undrafted those are just some undrafted players on one team.
