Fobbs has rewritten school history and set the bar for future athletes that will wear a Bearkat uniform. Marlin said Fobbs has made as large an impact upon Sam Houston basketball as Senecca Wall and Donald Cole.

For a guy who isn’t the tallest, explosive or most skilled prospect in the world, this has to be considered a serious cause for concern.
We already have plenty of that.

Re: NBA Summer League Tracker

PISTONS: Summer Stock
Quote:
First-round rookies Rodney Stuckey and Arron Afflalo, two-year veteran forwards Amir Johnson and Jason Maxiell and 7-foot Senegalese native Cheick Samb highlight the Pistons’ roster for the Las Vegas Summer League as finalized Monday.

The Pistons will play five games in Las Vegas starting on Saturday. Pistons assistants Terry Porter and Igor Kokoskov and newly added Michael Curry will make up the team’s coaching staff.
Johnson, a restricted free agent, can’t officially re-sign with the Pistons until July 11 and is expected to miss the first two games.
Among the other intriguing names on the roster are Ali Traore, a 6-foot-9 power forward from France who some thought could sneak into the late first round, and Walker Russell Jr., son of ex-Piston Walker D. Russell and nephew of former NBA star Campy Russell. Russell played at Rochester High School and attended junior college before finishing his college career at Jacksonville State.
Traore, 22, is a native of the Ivory Coast. Though still pretty raw offensively, he’s got an NBA body at 240 pounds and is reported to have a wing span of 7-foot-5. He’s considered a good athlete with good footwork who can score with either hand around the rim but has very little in the way of a mid-range repertoire at this point.
Samb has been working out at the Pistons’ practice facility for a week since arriving from Spain, where he played professionally this past season. He’s added about 30 pounds since playing for the Pistons last summer after they traded Maurice Evans to the Los Angeles Lakers for his draft rights. The Pistons will use the summer league to evaluate Samb’s progress and determine if they have a roster spot available for him.
Maxiell was not expected to participate in this year’s summer league, but he asked the Pistons if he could and they gladly agreed. Also on the roster is second-round draft choice Sammy Mejia, a swingman from DePaul. The Pistons will get their first feel for what they can expect from Stuckey and Afflalo in Las Vegas. They’ll see about Stuckey’s ability to handle both guard positions and gauge Afflalo’s ability to score against athletes with size while looking for both to flash a special skill or two that would complement the play of the starting backcourt.

Re: NBA Summer League Tracker

he has to be. he's our only C.

The fobb story is that he tore up his knee. would he have been something otherwise? Who knows.

I am liking the fact that maxiell asked to join summer league. not only will his appearances make for exciting hoops but you gotta love that attitude.

Re: NBA Summer League Tracker

This guy (Fobbs) reminds me of a little known player from a small school (my undergrad school) in Kentucky called Murray State. That player was Popeye Jones, and while he never achieved star status, he had a pretty good career in the NBA. Small schools do occasionally produce some excellent talent...Joe D being one of the best examples.

Some Summer League Information

PISTONS: Summer Stock

- additional players in the summer league: Ali Traore and Walker Russell Jr.
- curry will be part of the coaching staff
- johnson cannot sign as a free agent until the 11th, so he is expected to miss the 1st two games
- maxiell was not expected to participate, but asked the pistons if he could, so he will be on the team
- samb has been in town for a week and working out with the team
