even more curious

on wright… hopefully he’s at least up to SJax skinny.

potential summer signee

How about former Duke guard and Vallejo native Demarcus Nelson? He’s a pretty physical player and I really thought he’d go somewhere in the 2nd round after posting solid combine numbers.

The pre-draft workout -

At our digs had MANY advantages. Some of the guys who weren’t picked…may find their way back into our summer league.

Being invited to the Warriors summer league as a non-roster player has been the kiss of death for players. In the last two years, none of the players playing in Vegas made the squad. No, Barnes wasn’t on the summer league team. Neither was Anthony Roberson. Both came to camp without having played on the summer league team.

Slap in the face -

for our poor choice of summer league players over the years. There is an attempt to shed that kiss of death.

Different this year

Lots of spots available for the taking if they play well.

what happened to Roberson?

we just might be able to clear a roster spot for a guy like him this year.

by sam23 on Jun 29, 2008 9:48 PM PDT up reply actions

they gave him a shot

but I think he wasn’t good enough of a defender or ball handler so they let him go.

From what I remember, he didn’t shoot all that well in his limited opportunity either.

Roberson wasn’t much of a distributor. He could score and handled the ball well enough, but he was otherwise limited in his court vision. I don’t recall much about his defense (hard to judge based on how little he actually played), but I don’t think that had anything to do with his release. He was hurt for much of the time he was on roster and unable to play. Injuries to other players meant that they had to release someone to make room for another guard before his contract became guaranteed.

That guard signed after Roberson was released was Azubuike. No one else picked up Roberson.

what about the kid

who was drafted out of high school by the Cavs and then had some colon issue before we picked him up. He was another undersized scoring guard, I’m just curious what happened to him.
