He lit up the Toros in February but had his three pointer completely shut down by them in the playoffs.
As NBA training camp grows nearer, the time is running out for even some of the more notable D-League alumni to snag camp invites, let alone any partially guaranteed deals. Such difficulty is driving many of those same players overseas.
Not James Nunnally, though. At least not yet, anyway. The swingman spent this past season with the Bakersfield Jam, averaging 10.3 points (on 43% from the field and 41% from deep) and 3 rebounds through 49 contests. Working his way up from starting out as a lesser-known rookie, Nunnally emerged as sixth man of the Jam by the time the postseason rolled around.
As he heads into the sop re campaign of his professional career, Nunnally has his sights set on catching on with an NBA team. A source has confirmed to RidiculousUpside.com that the UC Santa Barbara alum will work out for the Spurs on Tuesday.

He lit up the Toros in February but had his three pointer completely shut down by them in the playoffs.
can he play d?
Not a standout from what I can remember.
He likes to compare his defense to Bruce Bowen, that he is a lock down player.
Camp invite.
I would like to see it because he prides himself on being the next Bruce Bowen.
If he is even half as good as Bruce IMHO it would help the Spurs.
But he is another guard though.
Oh, he shot 63% from the arc in summer league.
That'll do .
Yeah, but wasn't that same 3 pt. shooting shut down by the Toros in the D league finals?
Was the first round.
He scored like 33 points the game before that. It's not like he would be the focus of the defense in the NBA. He can catch and shoot and run the floor, so I can see the reason for the invite. That's all.
Geez, another guard.
Chump, what do you think of his chances with the Spurs?
Low. Just seeing if they can get lightning in a bottle like Neal.
More likely he's back to Bakersfield to see if he develops further.
Wouldn't the Toros get his rights after he gets cut from the Spurs? I thought that's how it worked in the past.
Don't think that applies to D-League vets.
Okay. Thanks.
I thought he was a small forward and 6'6" or 6'7". The spurs could use a guy that size as a SF back-up to khawi.
How many people are the Spurs going to work out without Signing anyone at all? I hear a new name everyday.
Essentially a good portion of these names will end up on the training camp roster where they will fight for the 15 spot...........and then all get cut by opening day
Oh around 10, about 6 of them will go to training camp. 1 of them will get signed and go back and forth to the toros, and another one or two might go to the toros.
In other words this news is just crap as of right now..
Not really its interesting to find out who your team is interested in and finding out about the guys who will be fighting hard to make the roster in training camp and the preseason games. Also if they impress during this time there is also a good chance that in case of injury depending on position and what else is going on that they get 10 days or call ups during the year.
As far as it being news its valid news but is it likely to amount to much? Not exactly.
Best case is that he's the next Danny Green and becomes the backup SF we've all wanted.
I thought he was a SG, or at best a short SF for his size.
Bruno, have you heard anything on Nunnally since Tuesday?
He might be the perfect backup for Kawhi, someone in the mold of Bruce Bowen, only a little shorter.
Apparently Bruce may be his idol because he likes to compare himself and his play with him.
The latest is that he will work out too for Suns, Jazz and Pelicans.:

Spurs usually don't communicate on their training camp invites until the last minute. Last year, they even said nothing before the training camp media day. This year media day is on September 30th for Spurs. With 14 players under contract, Spurs can add up to 6 players for training camp. Up to 3 of these 6 players might be picked up to end up with the Toros. As said before, Nunnaly can't be one of these 3 players because his D-League rights are owned by another D-League team.
