Wizards Summer League Roster Set

[Zen-like Todd]

Kwame in da house, which is nice. That roster is huuuge.... a veritable cornucopia of walk-ons. Britton Johnson, who is on the roster, is playing in the summer league down in FLA for the Magic right now, and he dunked on LeBron tonight :D

...edit... btw, they made a typo on Kwame's DOB, he was born in 1982, not 1977.

I'm glad Kwame's participating - it shows some commitment. The guy I'm watching is Marvin Stone out of Louisville. The kid has an NBA body - I saw a fair amount of him (I watch a bit of C-USA basketball). He's got a chance to make the roster.

[jbooma]

how does this all work, are the wizards the team that has the first option on some of these free agents?? Or is anyone playing in the summer league without a contract open for all the teams?

[W. Unseld]

The summer leaguers are pure free agents and any team can sign them. Wow, you guys are high tech with your sign offs and picks.

[Skeletor The Invincible]

Uh Oh It's Wes, run for the hills!

[Zen-like Todd]

Yeah, Die Hard is always busy adding features to the board. We're still waiting on the football-way-back machine that'll allow us to go back and remedy the drafting of Heath Shuler, Desmond Howard, and Andre Johnson, among others.

[Gamebreaker]

I'm also glad Kwame decided to play. I'm curious on how Blake and Hayes will do.

I still don't understand why people have been raving over the game that James had. He STILL hasn't played aganist a NBA caliber team, wait until the season to proclaim him the next ANYTHING!

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong. ;)

By the way who is the mod on this board

Summer League: I'm so pissed that it doesn't look like any of the games will be televised, you would think ESPN 2 would at least want to televise the Wiz v. Cavs. Apparently NBA league pass on direct tv will show one Wiz game, I don't know which it is.

Cranky Todd, you're cracking me up with the Heath Shuler time machine. Apparently someone in the organization has one since V. Cerrato is back.

OT:Lucky Devi, it's off topic but I like the Rand quotes. I read most of that while I was in college, it made me quite anti-social for a while (Fountainhead more so than Atlas Shrugged) but there are some great passages in those books, all though I think the philosophy is somewhat incomplete.

Wiz not on tv? Welcome back to the non-Jordan era. Before Michael got here we were on NBC Sunday once. And that was in 1994.
