<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Indianapolis Star - Former Indiana University forward Marco Killingsworth will join Orlando?s summer league team this month after going undrafted in last month's NBA Draft. Killingsworth averaged 17.1 points and 7.8 rebounds at Indiana last season. ?The draft is what it is,? said Mark Stevens, Killingsworth?s agent. ?We understood going in only 60 players can be drafted. We understood he might not get drafted, so we put together Plan B.?</div> Source A lot of us wanted this guy in the second round so picking him up as an undrafted free agent is steal in my mind. I think this is a great signing and hopefully he can prove himself and get a spot on our roster.
Nice signing. He can score and he's a lefty. I heard he almost had like 20% body fat during the draft camp measurements and stuff.

He knows how to move his weight around better than most players in the draft, utilizing what I like to call a 'spider dribble', where he keeps the ball really low on the floor and backs his opponent all the way in for the score, one of the more effective go-to moves in all of college basketball last season. Too many teams were scared off by his age, his weight, and his height, but when you put all of those somewhat meaningless measurements to the side, he's a dominant force in the paint on both ends of the floor and can really contribute on the next level. If you guys wind up signing him, I'm sure he'll become a fan favorite in no time. He's got an infectious, scrappy approach to the game. He's the king of cheap shots and got in a lot of brawls last season because of it, but in a way, that fire is refreshing to see. You want your post player to have that no-nonsense attitude and be rough in the post, especially if they give up a considerable size or athleticism advantage like Killingsworth.
ok i live in indiana, so i know bout killingsworth..and i think this will be a great addition to the team if we keep him..hes a great player
I think he will be a nice player if we keep him, I wouldn't be surprized at all to see him beat out Augustine. If he were a few inches taller he would have probly been a lottery pick. It looks like we are going to have a pretty competative team in the summer league this year............................This is kinda off the topic but it looks like Miami has signed Gansney to a 2 year deal I was hoping we would get him too. Miami looks like they will have a good summer league team too, they picked up Daniel Horton and Gansney (both first round talents IMO)
