Good luck Noel.![]()
The Spurs summer league team starts playing tomorrow (Friday) at Rocky Mountain Revue in Salt Lake City. Unfortunately, LJ and I couldn't go this year but I have a friend who is a reporter in Seattle who is going for a few days of it and will get us pics, etc.
The only person that I have real interest in on the Spurs team in Mahinmi and perhaps Roman Levter.
Here's the Spurs initial roster, but we'll see if it's changed tomorrow.
Other teams playing are: Utah, Dallas, Seattle, Philly, and Atlanta.
My friend Noel Felix is on the Seattle team, along with their draft pick Saer Sene who has the biggest wingspan in the league.
Here's the rest of the RMR rosters.

I didn't know Dallas had Jackson Vroman on their RMR roster. He's a worker bee.
When do the Spurs and Mavs play....round 8 baby lol!!!
Fairly unexciting bunch.
A couple of Toros are in there.
Our PFs are going to get some inflated rebound numbers because of our centers' off the scale stiffness factor.
I'd like to see if Levter is anything close to being a long 3 project.
Donta Smith and Mel Sanders are going to put up 20 shots a game.
Because no one else can shoot, or just because they're prone to jacking up shots?
The former, and that seems to be the Spurs summer league MO -- designate a scorer and force feed.
CJ Watson and Taquan Dean can shoot.
The Seattle team cut Omar Williams and Kenton Paulino today before leaving for Utah. I wonder if the Spurs team cut any of their guys.
I'm most excited about Mahinmi and Donta Smith. Smith might be the young athlete the Spurs need. His numbers in the NBDL were quite impressive.
I wish Melvin Sanders wasn't on the team. He's not an NBA player but he'll hog a lot of the spotlight from other players the Spurs need to get a look at. Sanders is a good guy, a good teammate and everything, but there's no way he should be on the team next year.
I'm not expecting too much from Mahinmi. I don't think he's ready to put up monster numbers, but hopefully he gives us some hope.
If Donta Smith plays well and Mahinmi shows promise, that's about as much as we can hope for.
Kori do you know if WOAI will be able to show clips of the games?
I don't know if they'll get clips from NBATV or not.
Nothing Mavs-related has won since June 11th. Go RMR team, go!
It's the same as the Vegas team minus some guys like Andre Emmett. Don't get your hopes up.
Just think, this time last year...Donta Smith was passing the ball to Boris Diaw (a former Pau player) in a Summer League game. (the S&T of Joe Johnson for Diaw and 2 1st Rounders was completed in August of 2005).
Do I even need to say the name to you? The Gamebreaker? The Difference Maker?
Pittsnoggle.
are they only shown on NBATV or will espn show some games too??
There's a small mistake in the roster:
CJ Watson G 6-2 176 9/22/03 Tennessee R
if mahinmi blows up during the summer league and we still dont find a decent big, do yall think the spurs might just sign him and throw him in the fire or stick with the initial plan and wait a year?
If he blows up and one of our offer sheets is matched?
Maybe.
I doubt he blows up though.
ok maybe not blow up but what about a serviceable nba player...someone better than elson, jackie butler, or reggie evans?
That would be blowing up in my opinion.
Any guesses on how many FT's Dirk is gonna shoot during today's game??
This game is starting. I'm going to get updates every few minutes and post them.
