Slawson / Jones will be competing the hell out of each other in SL to open the staff’s eyes to them.

Not for nothing but we’ve currently got a bunch of open roster spots and no back up big signed to the squad. A strong summer league showing might get Slaw an actual roster slot.
pretty sure Ford aged out of being able to be on a two-way via league tenure.

Man, do the Stockton Kings have season tickets? I will look into it. I love Monte' and Crew's UDFA's!
That's because the second round isn't really a draft. I'm sure this deal was in place before we traded our pick to Toronto and if we hadn't we'd have just drafted him.

This is a nice pick up that is just as good as picking at 45. Now let’s see if Monte can make up for the Portland pick.
Sort of realizing this too. Seems like dudes dictate their landing spot.
Yes, they do. I know someone who had season tix last year. They don't have any info up on their website right now about them though. Probably once the season gets closer. I usually just get single game tix.
I mean the fact that the Lakers took Bronny sort of tells you that a) Bron dictated Bronny even being drafted and b) any team that thought they could draft him to f with the lakers as hostage was told no such thing will happen.

Saw Jones up close and personal when Wazzu played UW. He was a stud that game and couldn’t be stopped in the paint. He also had a nice mid range shot from what I remembered. Was super impressed and am surprised he didn’t get drafted.
Body type looks like Donyell Marshall.

I think his body type looks similar to Looney

This was Woo’s pre-draft assessment
"Jones measured well, with a 7-foot-3 wingspan and 9-foot standing reach despite standing just 6-7 1/2 barefoot and has continued to help himself in Chicago," wrote Jeremy Woo of ESPN. "While not the quickest vertical leaper, Jones has good feet and hands for his size, has flashed some passing and shooting potential, and generally makes smart plays.
"At 24 years old, his unique story and strong play will likely earn him interest from teams as the draft draws closer, and he'll get a chance to develop into a useful depth player off some team's bench."

Would be insane if this guy pans out.
Don't you tease me with a Naz Reid comp

Now that you mention it, that might actually be who I was thinking off or it might have been Damian Jones. One of the guys the Warrior picked when they realized that some team was going to take Javale from them in free agency so they decided to just pick big, long dudes three years in a row.
