Re: Amir Johnson to the Fayetteville

The dynamic duo... this should make both players more comfortable... especially if Acker is controlling the ball.
I'm looking forward to this... unfortunately I don't see any TV games on the horizon.

Re: Johnson and Acker to Fayetteville

Not sure if this is really the right thread for this, but:

Why do we need a development league? Development league should be college.

Re: Johnson and Acker to Fayetteville

The age restriction is comming into effect for this springs draft. No more highschoolers can be picked.

So I don't know what they are going to do if they do not want to go to college. I think this D-league is only for players that were drafted and given contracts.

Kind of strange how Johnson and Acker are sent down right after the Darko trade. Dumars got sick of these young guys hanging around or something. Or perhaps just trying to set the playoff rotation. At least Acker/Johnson got a chance to get into the books.
