Joel Bosh? CB4 jr? What kind of game does he have? is he similar to Chris, or they play two different games? And also, Where is Jamario Moon? This would be a good opportunity for him to polish some parts of his game, like going to the basket consistently.
Thanks
- MichaelWhy isn’t Super Jamario on the summer league roster? He hasn’t developed his game to the point where he shouldn’t be on this team in my opinion. Do you dissagree?. Last time I checked he still forgets to drive to the basket and has fallen in love with the 18 foot jumper. Thoughts? Concerns?
- StephenStephen / Michael -
I’m fine with Jamario not being on the team.
Yes, he still has some stuff to work on … but the guy started 75 games for the Raptors. Guys that start 75 games aren’t gonna be asked to give up their summer - even for two weeks.
I’m quite comfortable with him not being there … but … with him being told: your butt better be ready for training camp in october and you better know your role (DRIVE!) this year.
- E. SmithHey I am NOT A FREAK!!! LOL..Wait ok I write a blog everyday and cover the team. Ok I am a Freak. But is that the P.C Term for it? Baketball Addict I like better. Does that mean you are a freak to Eric? If you are I feel better about it.
thanks for the Info Eric.
- James BorbathEric,
- Aaron McMillanDo we know if any of these games will be televised.. say on RTV?
Just thought of this. Nathan Jawai will he get added to this roster once the trade goes through? I WANT TO SEE AUSSIE SHAQ BABY!!!
- James BorbathEric, is Rod Benson a lock for the Raps summer league team? He’s also been announced for the Suns summer league team thats heading to Vegas.
- BrianI’m happy to see Rob Benson made the team. At least this way we’ll get his blog perspective even if there’s no televised broadcast.
Why can’t the NBA get its legal/contract act together and stream stuff like this available online for interested fans? I might even pay a nominal fee ($1 or $2/game).
- EllieI’m assuming Jawai will be added once the O’Neal deal is official?
- PatrickTo answer a couple of comments … yes … Jawai will be on the team once the O’Neal/Ford deal is made official
- E. SmithAlso, Benson is on the Raptors team. He informed the Suns he wouldn’t be joining them … and that he’d suit up for Toronto instead
- E. Smithwhy is roko ukic not on this roster
- Simon HoUkic will be playing in the Olympic Qualifier
- E. SmithRod Benson?????? THAT’S GREAT!
We need some Too Much Rod Benson up in TO.
