Summer League

Perrin Buford, whoever he is, has agreed to play for us in both Utah and Las Vegas. On a sadder note, Jonathan Jeanne has been diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome, and his career is likely over.

Perrin Buford

6'6", 220#.

Middle Tennessee State. Undrafted, played in Italy last year.

That is extremely sad for Jeanne, his whole life probably centered around basketball and it has been taken away. The one bright (?) good side is that they are now able to diagnose these things before a young man collapses and dies on the floor of a basketball court. He still can lead a productive life. Sad, very sad though

The first game of the Utah Summer League is just 10 days away, on July 3rd.  Our first game will be vs Markelle Fultz and the Sixers.

That should be fun.  

When someone gets it, can they post the roster?

I'm assuming all four picks, plus Zizic. Brown? Rozier? Nader?

We could put together a pretty good team. No Yabba, though, will suck. He'd at least be entertaining to watch.

Perfect start to summer league! Wonder if simply a coincidence or did the NBA arrange it in the past day or two?

MY NOTE: Only 9 days to ACTUAL HOOPS!!! Another one of the benefits of going deep into the playoffs. Not much waiting for more basketball.

Lots of really good young players that could/maybe should still be in college. This would be one fantastic NCAA team.

Whos not looking forward to seeing Brown and Tatum playing together and seeing Zizic for the first time?

I started the forum for next season's Game On! threads.  There is a sticky thread at the top for the Summer League Schedule.

https://samcelt.forumotion.net/f19-game-on-2017-2018

I will post anything I find about the schedule or the roster in that thread.  

All Members: Feel free to post anything you find there as well.  Fun for all!!

If there's an NBA Summer League Finals, I think the Celts will be the champs.

Just drafted Celtic rookies, getting ready for Summer League. Simi looks like he could be a beast.

Bob,

This kid seems like another Cs draftee who is already pretty smart and humble. Nice attributes to have starting off a possible NBA career.

It won't be boring. Have to admit it I don't have much expectations for Zizic, but I'm expecting fireworks from Brown and Tatum.

Dboss,

Terry is going into his 3rd year and has nothing to prove, he isn't a bubble player anymore.  Mickey does and is.
