Weren't the Kings interested in drafting Donta Smith a few years back? Now he is summer league material? I guess it's a good thing they passed.

Justing started trying to bulk up last year. And yes we were interested in drafting Donta Smith 2 years ago. I am eagerly awaiting Mr. Slim Citrus anyalisis because he usually goes to all the games and gives an outstanding report. he called it last year with Williams.

Erm, no. Slim doesn't go to the games. It's CRUZ DUDE who goes to the games.

No, it was already announced that Price wouldn't be participating in the summer league this year. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Is Ronnie Price's absence a sign that we don't want him no more? Because I still do.

Ronnie's a free agent this year wiht a chance of signing a real contract -- I'm sure his agent has just told him do NOT play, do NOT get hurt until the deal is signed.

As an aside there is no way in HELL Justin Williams weighs 260, unless he's got a big ole Oliver Miller gut on him. 50lbs in 6 months or so = no.

Unless....

Do you think he knows Barry Bonds? :p

So,

Guys We Know
Quincy Douby G 6-3 175
Francisco Garcia F-G 6-7 195
Spencer Hawes C 7-0 245
Justin Williams C 6-10 260

Guys Who Used to Play in The League and Washed Out
Cezary Trybanski C 7-2 240 (don't remember much about him except the name)
Donta Smith G 6-7 215 (athletic but never showed much, just garabagetime)

Undrafted This Year
Nik Caner-Medley F 6-8 240 (tweener forward, probably small forward, modest talent)
Mustafa Shakur G 6-3 190 (big PG, questionable smarts/intensity)
Darryl Watkins C 6-11 258 (shotblocking/rebounding PF/C, athlete, no scoring, shaky focus)
Oliver Lafayette G 6-2 180 (apparently University of Houston 14.3pts 5.9reb 3.1ast 35.4FG% )
Keith Butler C 7-1 255 (uh...the nexct Ben Gillery. Out of DePaul. Averaged, as a senior, 1.8pts 2.2rebs. But he's tall)

Been Out For A few Years, But Never in NBA
Pooh Jeter G 5-11 170 (came close to sticking as PG in camp for us last year, but marginal)
Christian Maraker F 6-9 235 (marginal tweener forward out of UOP, not power player)
Major Wingate C 6-10 250 (potential sleeper -- bigtime athlete at PF/C, but clueless, misses all the details, bombed out of college for drugs)
David Young G 6-5 205 (apparently a 2nd round pick by the Sonics in 2004, no idea where he's been)


Gotta say, overall not as nifty a list as last year's I think, when in particular we had Justin, who I thought was the steal of the undrafteds. Here...guess Wingate, Watkins and Shakur would be the guys I would be watching. But all three have gotten the least out of their talent thus far.

I expect that most of these guys aren't going to be all that great, but I already know something I'm going to miss when Summer League's over: having 8 players on the roster who average 6'11"/248.

I agree.

Major Wingate should make the team based soley on his name.

We have nothing else to lose, and hey...According to Brick he's an athlete...So he should make our team by default.

Maybe we can get Happy Hairston and World B. Free on the coaching staff.

Caner-Medley was undrafted LAST year. And he pretty much stinks. Can have range, but was horrible against all top level college opponents, and torched the weak ones.

Pooh Jeter was an all-star in the NBDL this year and started their all-star game. But he is still 5-11. But a really good ball handler.

He is Ron's younger brother, but hardly "little" - his failure to be less substantial is probably why he couldn't talk his way into a spot on the roster of the NBADL Albuquerque Thunderbirds a year and a half ago, and why I don't think he has any shot at our roster either. As Mark and Brent Price demonstrated, being someone's younger brother doesn't mean much.
