Toros returning and allocated players

happy to see Malik is there!

if we can keep our 08 draft picks for the future, that'll be great.

Screw Marcus Williams!

Good news to see Hairston picked Austin over more money overseas. And while Charles Gaines isn't an NBA player, he'll probably do pretty well on the D-League level.

I'm not too enthused about bringing Marcus Williams back. While it's true that he can put up good numbers on this level, he'll also eat up a lot of touches that could go to players with actual NBA ability. Williams will probably find himself at PF again and produce greatly but that's worthless in terms of finding an NBA quality bigman. The only good news regarding Williams is that after he didn't even come close to making an NBA team, perhaps he's humbled and willing to work harder than he did last season.



P.S.

Looking at that roster, a pull of Ayuso and either Davidson or Richard in the first two rounds would make sense. Although, even though the fit isn't great, I'd still happy with White, Byars or Forbes.

That's exactly my short list too. The one player I really wanted was Steven Hill, but Presti gave him a contract yesterday. I doubt any of those players make it to the Toros snake, though. Bummer.
