#7 is Deji Akindele, a training camp invitee who failed to get drafted this past summer. #45 is Justin Davis, a forward formerly from Stanford, I'd guess Monty figured he'd be a good guy to bring in at least for training camp.

And it looks like Deji is a good pick up. You cant knock Mullin for bringing in 2 7ft+ guys. One of the new big guys is 7'1". At least we can send them to the NBDL...

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Run BJM:</div><div class="quote_post">I dont think we can send N'Daiye to the NBDL. Isnt it only first and second year players?</div> I dont know. I thought we could send anyone. You are probably right...
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kwan1031:</div><div class="quote_post">We can only send 2 guys and they have to be two years in NBA or less...</div> So we have 18 people on the team and we can only send 2 to the NBDL. What are we going to do with all of the people on our team?
There will be cuts, and I seriously doubt that any of 4 guys we signed are guarenteed contracts. We can't obviously carry 18 men on the roster. I am not even sure those two guys in NBDL are included or excluded in 15 men roster. If that's the case, you will see number of guys getting cut...
I know we can stick someone (or more) on the injured list right? I know we got 2 guys who are injured (Murphy and Taft).
I believe there is no more injury list. Instead, we have inactive rosters, which is included in 15 men roster to prevent phony injuries we saw last few years...
So what is the incentive for these guys who most likely will be cut other than a marginal chance at the NBA? They get paid for their time obviously, but does that bar them from signing with a foreign team right now in addition to making some bucks on the side? I'd go where there is security if I didn't have too much faith in my skills. It sucks being an athlete when you can only work until your body is able and you're not insured.
I hope we dont cut Aaron Miles, I dont really care about the others but I wouldnt mind sending any of them to the NBDL. Do you guys know if NBDL players count toward our roster spots?
With the injuries to Taft and Murphy, I believe one of the big men will be kept on a ten day contract or maybe the entire year. I was hoping Miles gets the spot but Fisher & Montay are playing very well and with our injuries, what's the point?
Miles has a real good chance. Mamadou or Akindele have a chance. If Mamadou shows something,he can stick-with Taft going Devo league. Akindele can go to the Devo-which might give him an edge if he's about even with Mamadou. Anyone else needs to really shine in camp.

After all, it's not an easy decision to go to foreign country right away. Also, even if they do not make the team, if they make enough noise, other NBA teams may look for them or the team that tried them out may call them back when injury happens. Also, playing in NBDL gives better chance to play in NBA especially when NBA teams send players to NBDL. And, I think you can still sign with Euro teams. Didn't Logan signed with Euro teams right after failing to make a team with us?

I don't know about Logan, but last I heard he was nursing a bad back and he was playing for an Israeli league.
Logan's story should be in some sort of handout for rookies or something. He demands a 3 years contracts instead of 2 years Warriors were offering, and when he didn't get it, he set out a season. Then, when he played summer league next season, he couldn't play at all. So, instead of 2 years of chance, he got zero. Kinda like little Spree and his 'I can't feed a family with 7 mils / 3 years extention'. Now he doesn't have a team yet. Sweet justice...
