<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Conroy, the Huskies' career assists leader, takes the same hopes to Los Angeles where he'll compete in the Lakers' summer-league program. Conroy, a 6-1 point guard, sparkled at the pre-draft camp. He broke the UW season record for assists this past season (219) in addition to setting the career mark (515). He also showed a knack for penetrating and has been heralded for his leadership. Conroy, who said he felt his best pre-draft workout was with the Lakers, was also considering Seattle and Golden State. But the Goodwins, also serving as his agents, had been talking with L.A. throughout the draft, he said. "They said they considered taking me (in the draft), but obviously they didn't. They said I was at the top of their free-agent list. I think it's great," Conroy said. "It's a perfect fit."</div> Source I like this pickup for the SPL, I hope Conroy makes the roster. So far the roster is shaping up to be... PG - Sasha Vujacic / Will Conroy SG - Von Wafer SF - Carlos Powell PF - Brian Cook / Ronny Turiaf C - Andrew Bynum
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Powell said he has been invited to play in Los Angeles with the Lakers? NBA summer league team, and he plans to make the most of the opportunity. That shouldn?t be surprising, since Powell has spent his entire basketball career doing just that. He didn?t get serious about high school basketball until his mid-teens, and certainly wasn?t given much of a chance to be a Division I college star. After he capped his college career by helping the Gamecocks win the National Invitation Tournament in March, Powell?s name appeared in the top 10 of several of USC?s all-time lists, including No. 1 in games played and No. 6 in scoring. Since returning to Columbia as the tournament?s Most Valuable Player, Powell has been steadily working to grab the attention of NBA teams. He has worked out individually for several teams, like the Suns, Lakers, Clippers, Kings and Heat to name a few, and also went to the NBA?s pre-draft camp in Chicago the second week of June. There, he averaged 11 points a game in three games ? 15th among all players at the camp. Powell said many coaches and scouts have been impressed with his ability to shoot the mid-range jumper. ?But they all said I need to get more consistent on the 3-point shot,? he said. ?I can knock it down, but I?ve just got to do it more consistently.?</div> Source
