I am seriously speechless on those uniforms. holy cow.

 

But sending positive vibes out to Ubel. Always liked that kid. 

 

What in God's green earth are those opponents' threads???

 

That is a crying shame.

Shavon dropped a new career high, one of my favorite huskers of all time.

LOVE that Ubel kid, he was on the team that beat the Golden Gophers in the last ever game played at the Devaney...

That was a great night.  Was a fun little hhc gathering that night as well!

Looks like Terran's back in Italy:

 

 

Official announcement from the team translated into English:

Anton Gill's going in for a workout with the Charlotte Hornets today!  Good luck Anton!

 

 

Looks like they post player interviews on the day after their workout, so there should be more to come tomorrow.

I don't remember a ton about the Doc days and even less about the Collier, but I can't say that we ever had a lot of players get invited to do workouts with NBA teams.  Now it seems like we have 3-4 every year that declare, get invited to work out, etc.  Anton played a nice role this year, but he played just that... a role.  And here he is getting a workout with an NBA team.  Big kudos to Anton for that, but I think an even bigger kudos needs to go out to Miles for getting Nebraska basketball to this point.

It was also a very different time between the NCAA and NBA during those years. The invites and emphasis on G-League has really exploded over the past 5 or so years.

The Hornets are sort of in Anton's back yard, so hopefully this is more than a courtesy try-out.

It probably isn't anything more than that, but if he can earn himself a slot on a summer league team all the better for him!

I don't quite understand what's going on here.  Is Shavon going to the Summer League?  Euroleague??  One thing that is clear is he's opting out from Trento though.  Is Trento not in Euroleague?  Is Euroleague the Summer League?

 

So many questions.

Shavon Shields is playing for the Pelicans in the Summer League. Apparently, he is kind of a big deal in Italia.

My understanding is that he's turning down a deal in hopes to get a better deal in Euroleague. In the meantime, during the offseason, he's going to play in the Summer League.

Yeah, that's kind of how I read it.  But seems kind of risky, no?

I wouldn't pretend to be an expert, but I suppose that even the prospect of getting into the NBA has much more value to some people than a stable career elsewhere.

 

Then again, maybe there's no faux pas in these situations if these leagues see it as a way to get free training out of a player?

Well if you're gonna gamble on your career, the mid-20's is the time to do it.  And really, worst case scenario for Shavon is he has to go to med school if this whole basketball thing fizzles out.  Not a bad fall back plan if you ask me!

Not really. There are a ton of levels on the European pyramid of basketball. While the top level of Italian basketball is pretty high up there his good showing means that even if he doesn't land with a nba or eurocup squad he will be plenty in demand for any high end country specific league. Eurocup is made up of the top teams of the various European leagues.
