    Why the would you play for 25k/yr in Idaho when you could be making millions, winning MVP, and living like a king in China or Europe? Doesn't make a goddamn bit of sense, just agents blowing smoke up people's ass and telling them they can still make it I guess.
    Ayres tried China unfortunately and did not even make it there, he signed overseas in China for a mill to play and he is back now after they didn't want him.

    Vets like those are hanging in the D-League waiting to get a call-up especially when the ten day period starts. It has worked for many vets in the past.
    Yea Reggie Williams and Austin Daye say o.
    The will not be above the 14th-15th men in any lineup. The true definition of a marginal NBA player, if that.

    And if you have a few million in the bank, why not take the chance to make an NBA roster again before heading overseas?

    and yet Stephon Marbury has carved out a pretty lengthy career there and still has a job in 2015. Bizarre

    If they were that good they would be on a team right now and not the D League. Ayres was not good in the NBA, he was merely average to bad at times (His hands were horrible). There is a reason China dropped him and no team wants him in the NBA right now. Jimmer was horrible in the preseason and that is why he got released, he looked nervous and hesitant. I think they could have given Jimmer a little longer possibly and gave him a shot to prove something as he can shoot but honestly Ayres had enough time in the NBA to prove himself and just was at best a end of the bench guy. D League does have some NBA talent in the league but it's rare and few ever make it.
    Rasual played great in the pre season so that is why he made the team, not really a panic selection. I don't hate Jimmer either.


    Ayres was not better than some teams rotational players, he was one of the end of the bench guys who belongs there. I doubt he would make any teams rotation honestly and be one of the 1st to be subbed in to the second unit.
    No. Teams have different needs, assessments, etc. If you think it's just about taking "the best player," you're idiot. You are, anyhow. There are guys in the d-league that could contribute at an NBA level. Many of them will be up in the NBA this year.

    Ayres isn't an NBA player, I have no idea what you were watching, he literally had like 5 good games his entire career as a Spur, he even struggled in garbage time against 3rd stringers.
    Nonsense.

    I know teams have different needs and so on, but the fact those two can't cling to a team nor make a roster spot shows me that most teams right now are not interested in them and that is why they are in the D League. You are an idiot and you must be their brother or the player themselves because you spew the same dumb bull about Ayres or whoever that is out of the league and a 14th or 15 player at best and act like some are haters of them and they are legit NBA talents in which right now obviously they sure as are not or they would be on a team by now. LOL at someone who things Ayres is a legit rotational player or is better than some teams rotational players calling someone else an idiot, look in the mirror there sir....... D League, got cut from China and sent home, cot damn he is really good!

    BTW Jimmer was horrible in the pre season so that is why he got released, looked timid and just overall scared out there and sucked big time so he blew his shot to make the team.
    I'm as big a Jimmer fan as anybody.
    Your probably his only fan besides his family.

    Yeah I am pretty much done, I would rather talk about guys on the team now who actually have talent and do tbh.

    I am done talking D League players and guys who get cut from China and sent back here. Good luck to them both but they are not Spurs nor on an NBA roster so I don't really care. I guess every GM who doesn't pick them up is dumb too just like us who think those guys suck correct?

    Agreed with you man, no need to respond to him anymore on this subject.

    When I made this video I didn't think we would still be discussing his performance (or lack thereof) two years later!

    Ayres and Fredette pretty much look like the only borderline NBA talents in this "draft", it's no surprise they went first. I can understand for Fredette who still has hope to make it to a NBA roster, much less for Ayres...

    I can understand Fredette being a high pick based on the fan draw, however I don't understand Ayres. Maybe it's for his corporate knowledge.

    He's tall. That's been enough to get a contract for as long as basketball has existed.

    Man, whatever happened to Ronnie Brewer? Wasn't he a starter for Chicago a few years ago? IIRC, wasn't he was a decent defender.

    NBA is full of decent guys. There are far too many. Look at rosters now though, almost everyone on down to the last guy on the bench is a name in the NBA. Even Rnnnie Brewer, we know who he is. The odds of any of those guys ever seeing the NBA are infinitesimal, so just to be on the cusp of getting a contract to play ball for money, that's worth the effort, or could be.

    Most of these guys either didn't finish school or they majored in something stupid like RT&F or communications.

    Ive consistently said that that the Jeff Ayers hate on ST is nonsense. Not surprisingly, so was much of the Jimmer hate. This just validates what I've been saying.
    Wait, so do you think this validates Ayres or Jimmer at all? To be picked in the d-league draft doesn't suggest a player was anywhere close to an NBA roster. For instance, the Toros picked Jean Victor Nguidjol in the first round. But they added five players to their roster (Sykes, Ndoye, Thomas, Washburn and LaLanne) and got two more back (Cotton and Eddie) before the draft even took place. Those are seven guys who will team up with Simmons to form the core of the Toros this year. First-rounder that he is, Nguidjol is coming in at ninth in the rotation and in developmental priority.

    The Jazz and Knicks each have players who they'll be trying to develop in the d-league who will take priority over their top-two picks. Depending on assignments, they might not even start. This is a sad commentary on how far they both have fallen.
