Huskers in the Pros Thread

[Cowboy Kermit]

There are three Division 1 Men’s Basketball programs in this state, and the one leading the way in terms of guys on NBA rosters, the Nebraska Cornhuskers. What a time.

Jason Dourisseau had a great career with Donar, winning a handful of championships. He was league MVP and twice a defensive player of the year. He even became a Dutch citizen back in 2015. Pretty wild ride for JRD. Pretty cool, too.

Toby a DNP today.  Looks like the Thunder may go in a different direction this year.

Isaiah Roby probably wouldn't have been the right answer to guard Joel Embiid. He had played in 10-15 min. in the other OKC ballgames.

Isaiah Roby had a nice game last night in a comeback win: 

16 minutes; 4 of 5 shooting, including 1 for 1 from three; 4 for 4 from the line; 2 rebounds; 1 assist; 1 block; no turnovers; 13 points; and +15 for his time in the game.

Delano Banton also did well last night:

16 minutes; 4 of 7 shooting, including 2 of 3 from three; 0 for 1 from the line; 1 rebound; 3 assists; 1 block; 2 turnovers; 10 points; and +11 for his time in the game.

Interesting:

 

"Contrary to what was recently discussed in Lithuanian media, the guard from New Zealand has been vaccinated, and therefore does not face any additional issues to represent Zalgiris. He arrived to Kaunas on Tuesday afternoon."

Looks like Jordy was on the Drew League team that won the championship and has made the Cleveland Charge G League roster

The above list of 24 Huskers playing professionally is supposed to be for 2021-22, although Glynn Watson is now playing in Iceland instead of Greece. Here is the link to the info indicated on huskers.com:

A person used to have to join the navy to see the world. Now it appears that playing basketball for the Huskers is a more direct route.

Roby played well tonight. 17 points and 5 rebounds in 27 minutes. Frustrating that he's fallen out of their regular rotation. He's second on the team in player efficiency rating.

Glad he had an opportunity tonight. He hasn't had a ton of chances to show what he has thus far in 2021-22.

Thor signed with a team in the Dutch league called the Hammers… Thor’s hammer. You love to see it

[49r]

I was really banging the drum last spring for Thor to come back for one more year (and got shouted down by more than a few for that opinion).

 

But, man, I can't help but wonder what this team would look like with Thor instead of Verge*

 

 

 

 

*mind you, this is not meant to be another in the endless line of posts weighing on the Verge debate raging at the moment, it's simply an observation that (at least at the end of last season) our offense looked so fluid and dynamic with Thor running the show.

Im right there with you.  Moved well without the ball, smart on both ends, and a huge glue guy.  Also believe he’d make at least 20% of his 3’s.
