Per agent - http://twitter.com/bjbass2/status/19858044769 Agent's company - http://www.rbasports.com/rba_athletes.html More info - http://www.ridiculousupside.com/2010/7/29/1595338/golden-state-warriors-invite-76ers [video=youtube;H-7MpD-xhN0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-7MpD-xhN0[/video] Looks like a cheaper, younger version of Turiaf. I guess these type of players would be a reason not to re-sign a Tolliver or Amudson because you basically get cheaper, hungrier (and less developed) players via training camp.
He didn't do much in the summer league for all that may be worth. http://www.nba.com/summerleague2010/players/sl_vernon_goodridge/index.html
I'm guessing hes just a training camp body because Udoh is injured and Wright/Lee are coming off injuries.
Yeah, you need bodies to round things out... but really there is a sweet science here... this is a very tight, cerebral game here, to the people you bring into camp, the people you give a look to in summer league, the people you give a chance to in D-league... these days, even the most basic moves can be consequential... I'm just hoping GS management has identified the right targets to invest time and energy into... Don't forget, Morrow was a nobody who shot himself onto a roster, now, according to ESPN insider, he is one of the cheapest prizes garnered by any offseason move.. Right now is the time to make-or-break the GS bench... Here's hoping moves like the Lin signing are just that...
He's training camp fodder. The chances of Goodridge making it are in the hundreds. We should continue to try and sign Amundson, Tolliver or someone who did well in SL. Here's where the extra second round picks really help out, too. And there must be guys from Europe who may not have been on the radar and would have a good chance to stick if given the chance. I doubt someone would come over for D-League.
You never know. This guy might end up producing as much as Tolliver or Amudson for a lot cheaper. Just AO said, all these guys have similar routes to the NBA.
This guy is especially a long shot because he never even started in college and didn't do well in SL. I can't find anything that indicates he even played at any level in 09-10. Hes 26 years old. Its obvious hes gifted but I just flat out can't see how he would be anywhere near good enough to make an NBA team given the numbers we've seen from college and SL. The other guys who have stuck at least started in college, played well in SL, etc,
