Pat Beverley was an overseas guy first. More international players than ever are getting drafted and playing in the NBA. Weird stat about N'Dour's time overseas.He averaged 2.3 points and 1.7 rebounds for Real Madrid in league games. That was apparently good enough for the Knicks to sign him.

I heard a tv talking head say only half the players drafted into the NBA this year will be from the U.S. Don't know if it's true, or not. But man, times sure have changed from when the 1st Dream Team laced them up. I remember thinking my pickup team from the Y could have won the Silver back then. Quote
Hilltopper Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Looks like Ty Dalton is leaving too. Quote
LZIp Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Another scholarship! Told you I didn't ever see him as being a contributor, Hilltopper Quote
zippy5 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 This one makes me wonder if Groce may have told him it's best to go elsewhere 1 Quote
LZIp Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 "Kid" or not, it really rubbed me the wrong way how he said he and everyone else were jumping ship the second it was announced Dambrot was leaving. 1 Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Apparently he was unwelcome @ Duquesne? Quote

The one thing we'll probably never know is - how many were planning to leave had Dambrot stayed? I know the answer isn't "0." 2 Quote
kreed5120 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 I'm actually glad to see Dalton leave. It's the first player I said that in regards to. 1 Quote
skip-zip Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 If this guy was destined to be a lower level bench player, then I'm sure we'd all much rather have back the Scholarship. I don't think we ever saw enough of him to know if anything better was foreseeable. Like I said earlier, we just have to use them wisely. We have some big numbers to replace all at once, so I hope we aren't just filling up roster spots. Mistakes at this point can haunt you for 4-5 years. Quote
UAZippers Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 I won't say that i am happy that he is leaving, but boy does 1 more free scholarship look great with all the players visiting UA right now. Quote

This is a weird thing to say about someone we've never seen play. Maybe we'll use the scholarship on someone better, maybe we'll swing and miss. But it's not like we've seen him play actual games and struggle or anything. 1 Quote

His tweets rubbed me the wrong way when Dambrot announced he was leaving. Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Another scholarship for Groce. 1 Quote
akronzips71 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 He may have been told to leave. Groce is looking at a lot of potential talent. Quote

I can't remember the specifics and he deleted the tweets a few minutes after posting. It wasn't anything heinous, but it just gave me the impression he had no desire to want to be here. Quote
zipinnc Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 11 players available for next year (10 scholarships + 1 walk-on). Returning (6) - Ivey, Utomi, A. Jackson, Poke, Eubanks, McIntyre(wo) New (5) - Williams, Parrish, Sayles, Kostelac, Patton 2 Players sitting out next year - Riak, L. Jackson That's 12 scholarships for 17-18, so we have one more spot available for next year. Thoughts? 1 Quote
zippyfan34 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Need another Pg or at least PG/sg combo. Would love the Oregon state kid as he is well experienced and eligible to play right away Quote
UAZip0510 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Posted April 28, 2017 Updated the original post. I'd expect a guard for the last spot just vacated by Dalton. Quote
UAZip0510 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) I know this is looking way too far ahead, but 18-19 is looking niiiiice: F - Deng Riak / Isaiah Williams / Jaden Sayles F - Daniel Utomi / Eric Parrish C - Mark Kostelac / Emmanuel Olojakpoke G - Jimond Ivey / G - Loren Jackson / Torrey Patton Edited April 29, 2017 by UAZip0510 Quote
akronzips71 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Posted April 29, 2017 It was just posted that we got Eric Hester. Sits a year, but he was a really high prospect out of High School. Quote
zippy5 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Posted April 29, 2017 Awesome! Groce can close. I think all these kids were in on visits this week? Quote
