Thanks Buddha. I meant to get that posted.

The Low has graciously agreed to once again help cover the SL for us from Vegas at BadBoySummerCamp.

The site will be getting a facelift shortly, and I am looking for one or two folks who would be willing to post news from the papers and online to the blog until the summer league is over. You can PM me if you are interested. I can definitely use the assistance, and it's easy and simple with the opportunity to explore your inner sports writer if you want to take it up a notch.

Also, if you will be in Vegas for the Summer League, I'm pretty sure The Low would be happy to meet up with you at a game, and again, any observations/video/photos you have to share would be appreciated.

I planned to go this year to carry The Low's gear and act as a bodyguard (not that he needs one) but those plans have come undone and I won't be able to attend.

Feel free to post if you will be attending and I will do my best to help coordinate the PF community at AMIRSAMBFEST 2007.

I don't recall if this is the first year that the Chinese National team will participate.

If Low or anyone else is going to the games maybe they can ask Amir how tall he really is.

Let it go, he's obviously taller than he was 2 years ago when drafted and is at least 6'10" now. I'll be absolutely shocked if he isn't 6'9.5" or taller in bare feet.

Most of these heights are complete BS anyways.

How many guys listed at 7' are shorter than Sheed? Tons of them.

Paul Davis is 6'8.5" and was listed as tall as 6'11"...

that guy was so wrong.
david lee, ryan gomes, frye, man...horrible projections.

All I care is how tall he plays. Hopefully we will find that out real soon.

that's some funny stuff.

58. Uros Slokar-Toronto Raptors: Now they’re just making names up at the end of the draft to see if anyone is still paying attention.

However I do agree that it was a pretty weak draft. The picks actually seemed to get better the further it went on.

roscoe36 · #9 (**permalink**) 06-26-2007, 04:23 PM

I would trade Will Blalock for Uros Slokar in a heartbeat. He had a very good late season game against us off the bench. Now there is a guy fans can get excited about possibly having some potential.

here is the Pistons summer league roster. First round draft picks Rodney Stuckey and Arron Afflalo, will play, as will second-rounder Sammy Mejia and Cheikh Samb, the 7-1 Senegalese center the Pistons acquired from the Lakers in last years draft. Jason Maxiell and Amir Johnson are also on the roster, but it is not clear how much they will play.
There are two non-roster veterans on the team -- LaRon Profit, former Wizards guard who has four years of NBA experience, and point guard Walker Russell, Jr., son of former Piston Walker D. Russell who played in the NBDL last year. Rounding out the roster are Olimpio Cipriano, a 6-4 guard from Angola; Eddy Fobbs, 6-11 center from Sam Houston State; Ibrahim Jaaber, 6-2 guard from Penn; Ali Traore, 6-9 forward from France; and Joah Tucker, 6-5 guard from Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Terry Porter, Igor Kokoskov and Michael Curry will coach the team, which will play five games starting Saturday in Vegas.
