LOL.
I don't think it was a realistic option before this series anyways.
He should have played with Portland this year btu he twisted his ankle jsut before the training camp.
His strengths are that he is a true PG with good PG skills and he is a quite good defender. His weaknesses are that he isn't a good scorer and he isn't really physically gifted. If he improves his shoot, he cna becoem a solid backup PG in nba.
Miles had many of the traits I look for in a D-League prospect. In his case:
- solid college career in a strong system
- D-League performance. He did a fine job running his team.
- improvement in aspects of his game. Miles became a somewhat better shooter and much more aggressive player in Fort Worth than he was in Kansas. Sam Vincent did a great job bringing out the scorer in Miles, such as it was in the D-League.
It doesn't always work out, but it seems to be looking good for Miles.
No thank you.Another player worth a summer league or training camp contract is Romain Sato. He is doing very well in Italy this year.
The guy sucks. Period.
Did everyone forget about Will Conroy?
We'll have to see if the Clippers want to keep him. He could be a restricted free agent this summer.
Aaron Miles is definately worth a calderon type deal.
I'm not sure about that. Worth a Vegas invite for sure. I haven't seen Sato at all, but he'll probably be there too.
Good lord, the guy sucks. We need someone who can actually play, much less someday get into a playoff game.
Will Conroy
player stats
you could have posted his stats with less work than providing a link
Let's just say he hasn't made an impact on the league as yet in his brief appearances.
Am I the only one that thinks its funny that Ian Mahinmi and Melvin Sanders are both on Pau with Miles? Maybe they could encourage him to suit up in silver and black. If nothing else, Melvin could give first hand accounts of Beno's suckage and ensure Aaron of his spot ahead of him (assuming Beno even makes the team next year).
It's actually easier to produce the link - cut 'n paste.you could have posted his stats with less work than providing a link

Will Conroy was a boondoggle this board lusted after for a period when it went out of its mind, but as I've said, our own Beno Udrih is a far better player than him.
He's simply a D-League prospect that had a thread with too many posts.
Yeah. Anyway, there are some decent prospects to scull in the league. I wonder if people would want a Mike Wilks or Jason Hart back.
Chicago is out of the playoffs and it's obvious they need post scoring in the worst way; it's what stands in the way between them and an ECF berth.
It's an odd draft in that only a couple players have any real post skills. All bets are off if they nab a top pick, but in all probability Brendan Wright and Al Horford are gone by their pick, and I'd think Roy Hibbert, too.
Spencer Hawes may be their man. But then, he might not be there either. Plus, he may not be ready for big minutes yet.
Trade for Zach Randolph?
Or roll in... Luis Scola? No doubt they'll explore their options, but can't imagine they won't be in intense discussions with the Spurs.
How is that kid from France progressing..Maninmi if think his name was.
Is there a link about chicago interest on scola because i didn't saw nothing about that except here ????
And what can they offer for scola ?? because maybe i will prefer a scola than a nocioni or than a lot of draft prospects

Scola was decided to pay his buyout ($4 millions for the two years left in his contract) to accept offers from Chicago Bulls or Utah Jazz, who had shown interest in signing him. "Phoenix and Memphis also asked for him", said Villanueva. However, Spurs asked for money and first round picks in next year's draft to trade Scola's rights.
thanks bruno
but it's a 2006 news maybe things have changed , we will see soon what will happened with scola : trade or if he will wear spurs uniform .
also an old news
The Spurs, for instance, traded away their pick this year to the Knicks (in the Nazr Mohammed deal), believing the draft would indeed be weaker because of a likely age limit. But that's not to say that general manager R.C. Buford won't be active this summer. We could well see a third Argentine on the Spurs' roster next year, as they are very optimistic they can finally sign veteran big man Luis Scola, whose rights they have. Scola, who plays in Spain, was thought to be coming to the Spurs this year, but buyout talks stalled and Argentine Fabricio Oberto was signed in his place (three years, $7.325 million with a player option for Year 3). Now, the Spurs are optimistic that Scola, Oberto, and Manu Ginobili will be on board next fall in what is starting to resemble Buenos Aires North.
Gabe Pruitt hired an agent, forgoing his senior year in college.
http://www.dailynews.com/sports/ci_5924032
I think Pruitt is a real option as a combo guard for this team. He can score, has great athleticism, can play two positions, and is an active defender. Best of all, he might be around when the Spurs pick at 28.College notes: Sources: USC's Pruitt hires agent
Daily News

Gabe Pruitt has hired Sam Goldfeder of Excel Sports Management as his agent, according to sources, meaning he will stay in the NBA draft and not return to USC for his senior season.
The 6-foot-4 guard, who helped USC advance to the NCAA regional semifinals last season, declared for the draft three weeks ago but did not immediately hire an agent so he could keep open the option of returning to school.
After missing the first 11 games of his junior season with academic ineligibility, Pruitt came back to finish third on the team with 12.5 points per game and pace the Trojans with 4.2 assists. His lock-down defense on smaller point guards in the NCAA Tournament was a key part of USC's surprising run.
Pruitt finishes 27th on the school's all-time list in scoring with 1,102 points in three years. He ranks sixth in USC history with 158 steals.
Goldfeder also represents UCLA guard Arron Afflalo in this draft. Other NBA players who use the agency include Jason Kidd, Paul Pierce and Lamar Odom.

These are my picks for the spurs:
28. Brandon Rush
33. Dominic Mcguire
58. Jamal Tatum
Pruitt also has nice size, if he can be a full-time PG. Hiring an agent is a mistake for him, but he's serious about the NBA and will likely stick somewhere, if not for guaranteed money. I'd like him as a Spur.
I don't think it's a requirement that he be a full-time PG. With the small-guard lineups that we are seeing more and more today (Terry/Harris, Nash/Barbosa, Davis/Ellis, Hinrich/Gordon, etc.), I think a guy like Pruitt could spend time on the court with Parker and then spell him when Parker needs a rest.
Here are mine:
28. Rudy Fernandez/Marco Bellinelli/Gabe Pruitt/Rodney Stuckey
33. Dominic McGuire/Nick Fazekas
58. Some obscure European talent that will probably never pan out.
I would be happy with any of those picks at either of those spots.
I'm kind of high on Kaponen. If he stays in the draft he could very well warrant the 33rd pick.
I suppose a lot depends on what happens with the Scola situation. If we decide that we're bringing Scola over to be a Spur then Fazekas doesn't make much sense. And if we trade for a guy like Nocioni then McGuire might not be our pick either.
I like the idea of a Pruitt or Stuckey though.
