2015-16 Offseason Recap/Preseason

After a run to game 7 in the NBA Finals our young team has showed that in fact they are ready for the primetime and have no interest continuing the losing ways that has plagued the team for years.

Now that our youth has gotten much needed experience it's time to find some veterans to put in keys places to help out when the inconsistancies of youth kick in. Backups at the PG and C positions are ideal, you can usually find a good veteran pg or C for the low if you look for them.

Draft Thoughts

Picking 27th in the draft is not optimal but since we already have a young talented roster I don't want to add a major piece without making ample room on the squad to accomodate him. Im thinking a scrappy big man or a long range bomber at pg with this position in the draft. My hopes are that Thierry Silvestrie somehow falls to our position if not then we will use our resources and make the best pick availabe.

Our picks:

#27 PF Alonzo Scott/Kansas-He's a hustler and a scrapper who loves to play strong interior defense. He is not star quality right now but with his skillset he will be able to play a max of 15 mins a game if needed

#57 PG Jaque Parker/France-Nothing really special about this guy except his great ball handling ability. If that was coupled with great passing or a great pull up jumper then we would have something..for now he looks like he may be cut at the end of preseason unless something dramatic happens overnight.

Major Preseason News!!

Rumors started to surface about a locker room argument that got ugly during the teams 1st preseason practice. Aaron Gordon and the recently signed Javale McGee was reported caught smoking K2 and drinking with under aged girls in a hotel room just outside of Philadelphia . No charges have been formally filed but this is not the type of example that the new gm is trying to set on the eve of his arrival. Both players have been suspended indefinitely until the investigation concludes.
