Where is this guy? He is not listed on the roster. Is he in Europe? I dont see him on anyone's projections for roster list for next year. Just curious.

Spurs waived him during the regular season and no NBA team picked him up. I would assume he's on somebody's summer league team.
He is on the Sun's summer league roster.
He was the cut that had to be made to make room for Robinson. He's history as a Spur. The Spurs don't seem to have a lot of luck in the second round...with Americans, that is. :lol
Chris Carrawell
Bryan Bracey
Sato
Obviously, you mean Nazr and not Robionson but I knew that we waived him when that happened. I was just wondering if we still had his rights.Quote:

Um, Nazr was a straight up trade for Malik, no roster moves needed. Sato was cut for Robinson, a FA signee. The roster was at 15, and someone had to go to sign Glen.

Merlin, you are correct. IIRC, they cut Sato, and cut Brewer almost immediately after that.

I haven't heard anything, but here is Romain's website that we've posted before..

He was cut in late February, it was fairly late for another team to pick him up, outside the US or inside. He's a good enough player to be playing somewhere at a fairly high level. I'm sure by now he's recovered from his patellar tendenitis. ;)
BTW, I checked and he didn't play in any of the developmental pro leagues in the USA, i.e. NBDL, CBA, ABA, USBL, etc.
I thought people were excited about this guy. Wingspan, vertical leap, etc . . . :depressed
I never got a chance to see the guy play.
Sato was put on earth to remind Pop and the F.O. that they aren't omniscient in their draft choices. :lolQuote:

Here's an update on Romain Sato. He played for Indiana's summer league team, playing in 4 games, averaging 13 min., 2.8 ppg and 2.5 rpg.

ouch, I thought he would have done better.
Romain Sato was so bad that he tried out for the Suns summer league team and got cut.
Maybe Lance will convince Ferry to sign him :lol
