Rosemond and Gavalas are still here. 
 
 Zach B on Esahia Nyiwe from watching him practice;

“Raw offensively, but should be a factor on defensive end. Long and athletic rim protector”
 
55. St. John’s another person's 2 cents
1 - Posh Alexander, Stef Smith
2 - Montez Mathis, Tareq Coburn, Dylan Addae-Wusu
3 - Julian Champagnie, Rafael Pinzón, Drissa Traore
4 - Aaron Wheeler, O’mar Stanley
5 - Joel Soriano, Esahia Nyiwe
Getting Champagnie back was a coup — as some NBA team would have taken a flier on his scoring and shooting ability even with his athleticism concerns. As such, Champagnie, Mathis (Rutgers transfer) and Wheeler (Purdue transfer), should form a fascinating trio of longish, guys who can score a bit, and shoot pretty well too — the key is Alexander taking a big leap. He was great as a freshman, but will need to be even better for this team to find its way into the tournament.

We are gonna be a lot better than that.  Got tons of size, depth, a top  notch PG and the best forward in our league.  Have some shooting as well.  Gonna be a fun season.

Wow , how great for Moe .  $50 plus million in NBA money should be more than enough for lifetime quality of life ..  Shows being even a journeyman player can make you into top 1 percent income bracket .  Anyone know how much Jakarr Sampson had made with his NBA career ?  I bet it’s not like Moe but , not unsubstantial either .,

JPM114  today on Twitter when asked about  Pinzon comparison to Tariq Turner, odd ask to me but;

“He’s a little better in a few areas and it adds up (if that makes sense) He sees the floor, gets to the basket and is a better shooter than what he showed last month. And most of all, I Love how well he rebounds for a guard”

I'm going to cry if he's not better than Tarik. And Tarik is a great guy, so hopefully he's not reading this.
 
 
Both Justin Simon (Suns) and LJ Figueroa (Mavs) had good runs in their team's summer league's games; Justin had 10 pts, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals in 24 minutes, LJ had 12 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in 26 minutes. Lots of summer league basketball televised between now and early next week mostly on ESPN2 or NBA channel. Quickley and Toppin had big games for Knicks with McBride also looking good. I watched a little of Golden State game and Moody really looks good for them, Kuminga also very active 16 points.
