Eric Griffin didnt make his HS team until his senior year.

When you get excited over a signing like this, you know things are slow. Haha, this guys isn't even going to play, don't get why everyone is so excited about this.

I'll wager you'll eat crow like Kyoto.

Why? Because potential. And dunks. Yes, dunks.

Two way contracts exist now for this exact reason - find the diamond in the rough, keep their rights, but help to coach them up. This is a great spot for people like Jeremy Evans who have potential but need time and development to reach it.

Where did you see that?

Also, what kind of taxes do these dudes have to pay when they play in Europe? Don't you have to pay taxes to the USA and Italy when you are on a work visa?

Thats the first thought I had. I imagine Italy is better than say Germany or France, but he probably would be losing a decent portion of that 500K euro check.

Not sure if its been posted but if anyone does not understand the 2 way contracts here is a good explanation.

Weird that they are banned from playing in the playoffs.

Sad to see Burks so far down the bench

I think he'll still get some solid playing time even as the fifth guard. I wouldn't be surprised to see Quin use some three guard rotations. Exum, Mitchell and Burks could be on the floor together at times.

I'll still be surprised if they give NWG a 2-way.

The way DL and Quin gushed over Nigel's pre draft workout and his work ethic/leadership in post draft interviews I would be stunned if they cut him after a few poor SL games. I think he's a virtual lock to be on the team. He'd be the 7th guard anyway. It's highly doubtful he'd see any minutes on the Jazz next year even if injuries occur. He's a good guy to have on the Gleague team because he's experienced and a good coach on the court. He's good for the development of guys like Bradley who is super young.

I don't see how unless DM, Exum or Thabo don't play... no idea how AB gets on the floor when healthy. I think DM and Exum are both better than him and Thabo likely is too.

Well someone will get hurt eventually

I thought that was odd as well. But it is for developing players. If they become a rotational player teams should just sign them.

Good article about Griff. It also explains how the two way contract works.
