NBA G-League

Blazers' CJ McCollum looked good for Idaho despite them losing. Only a matter of time before he gets called by the Trailblazers as he will be another perimeter weapon in progress.

Meanwhile, Kings send Hamady N'Diaye to Reno. Bighorns are undersized with Gladness ain't getting it done. Mo Charlo is playing well as of late, but the team needs interior defense and N'Diaye can provide it alongside ceiling for the team.

After North Carolina choosing not to re-instate PJ Hairston, the latter has signed a professional contract with the Texas Legends, the D-League affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks.

PJ Hairston is taking the league by storm now. Save for that lackluster performance against Sta. Cruz, Hairston is gaining a reputation of a scorer that has since piqued the interest of some NBA teams. Five games, two 40+ points games.

Pierre Jackson of Idaho tonight: 58 points to lead his team over PJ Hairston and the Texas legends.

Mark Cuban: D-League better option for prospects than NCAA

Cuban is certainly hard headed enough to not mind the flak from his more often, hard hitting but callow assumptions. NCAA ball does teach players the value of team work while the D-League is an every man for himself league that operates within a team setting. Players do pad their stats on the D-league. D-League closely simulates NBA pace and scientific training.

Greetings from Greece.
Do you think that Thanasis Antetokounbo will get drafted?
Do you believe that this guy can find a place in some NBA's roster?

He is not so good as his brother Giannis but he had a decent period in NBA D league.
