NBDL JAM vol. Hendrix & Nelson

Hey GSoM!

just to take our minds off of our current losing hiatus...

So a few weeks into the season our season starting point guard, and undrafted rookie from Duke, Demarcus Nelson and our 49th pick in the draft from Univ. of Alabama Richard Hendrix were sent to the NBDL Bakersfield Jam. Nelson was sent most likely to polish his skills and Henrix probably because it did not look like he'd be getting any PT.

Here are their stats from their first game there, which was a pregame against the Arsenal.

Nelson was pretty solid, while Hendrix stunk it up... My thoughts were basically Nelson was doing what he what he does and Hendrix was never coming back to the NBA. Until...

The thing that really surprises me is Hendrix's stat line. It's pretty solid nonetheless - 31pts, 14rebounds, and 3 blocks. Especially 3-3 beyond the arc? what? Nelson's stats were pretty much predicted. He should be dropping more dimes though. With Hendrix's one good game you can't say that he can transfer that to the NBA, with O'bryant putting up decent numbers with the Jam and look at him now.

All in all, I always think its fun to watch our Warriors play in the NBDL and watch them flourish. They are trying hard to make a name for themselves and it's always a joy to see players work their way up (like Watson & Azubuike).

yeah, and if we leave demarcus there we’d have the first father/son pair to play in the D league.

You can bring a 40 and smoke a cigarette and call me from the parking lot asking me what time the game is, and I'll tell you. You can even say 'F--- you, Steve!' Actually, don't say that, that wouldn't be very nice." -Steve Friend, Head Coach, Chabot College Gladiators Baseball
