Undrafted Rookies You Want to Invite to Summer League/Training Camp

[Stifle Tower]

Why is it none of these guys are signed anywhere yet? Is there a waiting period? In the NFL they get gobbled up immediately.

In KOC's interview last night, he said Perrin already had the summer league roster put together. I'm sure calls start to go out late in the 2nd round.

Xthren nailed it .. Jordan Taylor.

That looks like a nice sig

I'm in the Jet Chang camp.

He would instantly have the coolest name on the jazz.

Kevin Jones will be playing for the Cavs during summer league.

Kevin Jones will be playing for the Cavs during summer league.

Good pick up by them. He should make the team, may even challenge Tristan Thompson.

 

[theNBAnerd]

an undrafted rookie will not challenge the 4th pick in last year's draft.

I think it will be closer then the Cavs or Thompson want.

Tristan Thompson wouldn't have been picked in the top 20 of this past draft.

that's easy to say now that we have a year of reality in the thompson-NBA era. 60 or so recent draftees or rookie free agents are about to come out of the hypothetical world and into the league, and then we'll say the same about them next summer.

and for the record, it's not like averaging 8.2 points and 6.5 rebounds with a 13.3 PER as a rookie is bad. if kevin jones does that well, i'll bow down to your superior basketball knowledge.

I agree, totally.
Kevin Jones could be a huge success story of this year.
TT has nothing on him, except a faint promise, we call "higher ceiling" or "huge upside".
It is all moot.
Give me the Farieds, Jae Crowders or KJs of college bball.
Every "pro" team needs players like them.

Don't replace a well meaning public message with self-stalking. PKM does it enough for all of us.

Jonathan Feigen: Couple other Rockets summer leaguers: Jerai Grant, Kyle Fogg and Eli Holman. Machado will be fun to see. Stunning that he wasn't drafted.

 

[Fishsticks]

I'm almost as excited about next year. I think we have a shot to draft Brandon Davies, or if we tank the season maybe we can get Jabari. That would be awesome. Lets pull a GSW and tank.

Bad joke?

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but Machado is going to be on the Rockets' summer league roster.

I'm pretty sure Wesley Matthews had a better PER than that as an undrafted Rookie. So, it's definitely not out of the realm of possibility, undrafted rookies sometimes are pretty good.

This really bums me out.

I just would like to know some of the names that the Jazz have contacted and who has agreed to come to summer league with the team. Does anyone have that information?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Bad joke?

I'm sure it was a joke .. but not certain whether spazz knows Jabari is in the '14 draft .. not '13.

Heard something about Burks ..

Heard something about Burks ..

I guess I should spell out that I am wondering about those that have no ties to the team currently, ie under contract or draft rights owned by the Jazz.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Did the jazz by chance sign any undrafted free agents?
