Roster - Remaining Spots

[Mr. Body]

Re: KA, everyone was so WOWED that he dropped to us in the draft. Looking more and more like those teams knew better than to waste a pick.

The 2014 second round is just chock full of tremendous basketball players.

[kaji157]

Duncan/Diaw/Marjanovic
Aldridge/West
Leonard/Anderson
Green/Ginobili/Simmons
Parker/Mills/McCallum

You could switch Diaw and West if you want. Probably makes no difference.

Thanks, also thank you ceperez

Thanks, also thank you ceperez

The interesting similarity between McCallum and Simmons:

McCallum.... no name school... 40" vertical... 24 years old.
Simmons... no name school... 38" vertical... 25 years old.

Both aren't that young, both come from schools you never heard of, both have ridiculous vertical.

To put this in perspective, Kyle Anderson is 21 years old.

I still think we will add one more SF

[Dverde]

Bonner should hit up Cuban. I hear the Mavs need some big man depth

You've never heard of the University of Houston?

[ceperez]

When was the last time they qualified for the NCAA tournament?

If a school doesn't make the NCAA tournament in a consistent basis, it is practically a "no-name" school from the basketball perspective.

So for example, Harvard is a well known school, but rarely ever do you see someone from Harvard drafted into the NBA.

I think no name schools are like Lehigh, sacramento st., prairie view, etc...

Those are no name schools.

is the University of Clemson a no name school then?

georgia isn't putting guys in the league or making the tournament either, are they a no name school?

The USC trojans aren't pumping out NBA players or making the tournament, are they a no name school?

No, a "no-name" school is IUPUI.

But we've all heard of the University of Houston...hence it's not a no-name school. Maybe not a basketball school...but not a no-name either.

I'm talking about a 'no-name' basketball school.

Harvard is a 'no-name' basketball school.

University of Houston isn't even University of Texas in Houston. In other words, it's like City University of New York (CUNY)... a no name school.

[Drom John]

when did the university of Houston become a no name school?

When did Detroit with as many HoFers as Houston (two) become a no name school?

[Marcus Bryant]

MFer have you ever heard of Phi Slamma Jamma?

[jhfenton]

MFer have you ever heard of Phi Slamma Jamma?

They must not be old enough.

[timvp]

MFer have you ever heard of Phi Slamma Jamma?

"Is that on the Whataburger menu?"

[TXstbobcat]

MFer have you ever heard of Phi Slamma Jamma?

Elvin Hayes, Clyde Drexler, Akeem Olajuwon went to Houston, I heard.

Here are the 43 players drafted from University of Houston. http://www.basketball-reference.com/...ollege=houston

The last time anybody of note that got drafted from the school was back in the 1980's.

1980 was like over 35 years ago. So how is this a reputable basketball program? Maybe it had a name in the past, but it has been a no-name school for over 30 years now.

[Darkwaters]

University of Houston has Hakeem the Dream.

Good enough for me.

[SpursDynasty21]

What is the roster situation right now? How many spots are currently available?

[Obioneginobili]

It sits at 13. So we have two left. We need a legit back up sf Kyle anderson ain't gonna cut it.

[CGD]

Rasul Butler or Teyshon Prince sound about right, but maybe they find another gem from Europe like they did today.

Also, is it too early to start thinking about buy out/stretch market people? Wonder if Gerald Wallace can play any SF these days.

Gerald Wallace is *done*

[Obioneginobili]

Even in his prime Wallace made a house of bricks with that horrible shot of his
