He tweeted GBR during the game.  His teammate Derrick White is from Colorado so I assume they thought it would be fun because where they both are from.  I suppose he’s a Jaysker.

 

Just wanted to provide some further information here. It would seem that Baylor only received his pregame sideline pass because he was a guest of Derrick White (who was a guest of the Colorado staff). You can see clearly on their passes that Derrick got the invite and Benedict Arnold was merely his guest:

Derrick Walker on the brain

Also was wearing black Nike shorts, a plain white tee, white Nike socks, and some white Nike AF1s. Looked like he desperately wanted to be the yin to Derrick White's yang or something  Definitely was not repping the Big Red...

8 points, or 1/3 of his total scoring output his final year at Nebraska. A wild basketball career for Jack McTrey.

I could score points to if I was a ref and a player.

Probably won't last very long, but pretty cool seeing TWO Huskers in the Blazers box score...even if it is just preseason 

 

Dalano had his club option picked up for this season and will be an unrestricted free agent after this season. Rayan Rupert has roughly the same cap hit as Bryce this year and has a club option next year.

Roby's new Bundisliga team (ratiopharm Ulm) was in Portland last night to play the Nebraska Trailblazers:

 

Box score for Dalano and Bryce:

Somewhat of a monumental day for Nebrasketball NBAers. We will have THREE former players on NBA rosters tonight.

I believe this is the most players we've had in the league concurrently since the 1998-99 season when we had Eric Piatkowski, Erick Strickland, Mikki Moore, and Tyronn Lue cashing NBA checks.

I'm super happy for McVeigh. I really hope he sticks. How hard he's worked to get to this point is truly unbelievable.

Most since 2022-23 when we had McGowens, Banton, and Roby. 

 

However the peak was 1999-2000 when Pike, Strick, Mikki, and Lue were joined by Tony Farmer

I believe Rich King was on the Seattle roster as well.

Rich King was in the NBA as a Supersonic from '91 to '95, then he played with the Sioux Falls Skyforce from '95-'98 & 2003-04.

I always forget that Tony Farmer had a cup of coffee with the Hornets and a sandwich with the Warriors. He actually started 9 games during his one season with GSW. And even had a 15 rebound game

I saw Dave Hoppen play with the Charlotte Hornets but never when he was with the Warriors, who not surprisingly Mikki played with too.

Bando picked in the G-League draft

 

 

[49r]

Surprised he got picked after NO SELECTION MADE; that guy had a terrible college career.

Probably going off potential

Manny Bando was selected two picks ahead of Xavier Johnson.
