10 PF in 30 minutes!
don't try to steal his moment. i'm proud of summers: another double-double baby!
real nice game for daye. a double-double of his own but the better kind: 20 points and 10 boards.
washington 4 of 4 FTs which is an absolutely AMAZING streak.....for him
jerebko had a real nice game. got to the line a lot. pargo played pretty well too. he's my sleeper for camp...
this was sweet, sweet revenge on the cavs and more than makes up for being swept in april.
I want to know the real measurables of Jerebko. I've heard everywhere from 6'8" to 6'10". Joe said they viewed him as more of a PF than a SF after the draft, so I'm curious.
Most places seem to have him listed at 6'9"-210 right now.
The DraftExpress interview with him mentions that he was up to 225 at the time.
Wikipedia has him listed at 6'10" 232lbs.
NBADraft.net has him at 6'9" 220lbs.
ESPN said he was 6'8" 231lbs when we selected him, which is what his Italian team listed him as.
They measure these guys before the draft, it's got to be out there.
Edit: Figures, he wasn't measured at the Reebok Eurocamp

This is just sad:
Quote:
Players are allowed to pick up 10 personal fouls in summer league games (compared to six for NBA games) before they foul out of a game. [Amir] Johnson averaged 6.8 personal fouls in Milwaukee's five summer league games.
Well it looks like we dumped him at just the right time then. He's got a ton of athleticism and potential, but if he can't stop fouling, he's never going to stay in the league.
He'll stay in the league - he'll just be one of those energy bench type players.
GM's will give him a thousand chances to "realise" his potential.
Have we successfully developed any big-man talent of late?
The last I can think of is Memo, and he was a pro for 5-6 years in Turkey before coming over.
Can we claim development of Ben?
In all seriousness, it's sort of a toss up.
Max may still pan out (4 year college player), he's been inconsistent but he can be a solid role player.
We didn't develop Darko (18) or Amir (18), both of which had huge upside/potential.
Before that it was Memo, who turned out pretty well (4-5 years of professional experience overseas).
So we shouldn't draft guys that aren't a bit seasoned. Maybe shoot for junior/senior bigs only?
That's pretty much it unless you want to go back to the mid-90s.
Scott Pollard was traded for Laettner after 1 season, so we never had a chance to develop him.
Jerome Williams, the Junkyard Dog, was a hardcore hustle player that turned out pretty well IMO. We ended up trading him for Corliss, but everyone loved the JYD. I forgot how great he was off the bench. That's what I wanted Max to become (there's still hope).
Theo Ratliff was well into his development when we traded him for Stackhouse. He was putting up two and a half blocks a game in under 25 minutes.
I wouldn't say we have a history of not developing big-man talent. Even as of late, we're potentially 2 for 4. When we drafted Max, everyone knew he was going to top out as a solid bench player, so if that's where he ends up, that's not under-developing him.
SUMMER LEAGUE PERS!!!!
