Zippy87 Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 X worked out with six teams prior to the draft. Should get a good look in the summer league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Can't imagine why X got signed but not Carry. Carry is an exemplary young man, reflecting only the best characteristics a human can have. He's humble with a great attitude. Can't believe he didn't get signed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 Incredibly happy for X and the Zips. As for Sincere, it may be a fitness issue with him. He needed to get down to 10% body fat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes102 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 LA Clippers Summer League Schedule. First game is tomorrow night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip JD Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 When I turned on the Clippers game to check on X, I did not realize two things: 1. Jason Preston is on the Clips, 2. After missing most of his young professional career to injury, the Clips clearly want to take a good long look at him to see what they have. Preston has been on the floor all night and no sign of X (other than buried on the bench) after 3 quarters. Hoping for some garbage time to justify watching summer league ball.

I actually stayed up to watch thinking he'd at least get a few minutes. Guess not. Really don't understand the downside of letting all of your guys play in a Summer League game. The results are meaningless. I was shocked to see that Preston ended up with 15 points and 10 assists, since honestly he looked pretty terrible for parts of the game I watched. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 My hope is that instead of giving their fringe guys each ten minutes they'll rotate games with meaningful minutes. So hopefully X gets some run next game. Fingers crossed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes102 Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Yeah, I watched it hoping to see him get some minutes. Planning on doing the same tonight. If he doesn't get any minutes again tonight, I might start disliking the Clippers again for cutting into my sleep for nothing.

He looked a little too comfortable sitting on the sideline with a towel draped over his legs to be getting into the game anytime. It reminds me a bit of way back when Joe Jakubik was on the Cavs summer team and they played at The Coliseum. Despite a bunch of fans including myself in attendance, he hardly played at all. Seems like everybody should get to play 5-10 minutes. George Karl was sitting in the seats and as I passed him on my way out I told him I wouldn't be back for a while. I'm sure it haunts him to this day. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saved the game on Youtube TV just in case, but obviously it doesn't matter now. What's the point of having guys on the roster if they aren't going to play? Good thing they kept Preston in there so he could score 2 points the whole game. Surprisingly Bates has had two solid games in row for the Cavs. After a very selfish first game he seems to be learning that he can't just shoot a 3 every single time he touches the ball. Still needs a lot of work, especially on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue why the Clippers coach wouldn't play everyone. Some of the box scores I've seen from the summer league, most are playing everyone unless they shut someone down for the rest of the summer league. Part of me wonders if the first couple games the coach was trying to win to rise his own stock to show the rest of the league that he deserves a full time NBA assistant position so he kept playing the same guys (most were 2nd year guys too so that checks out). I'm glad to see X get some minutes yesterday. Hope he gets even more minutes tomorrow! Edited July 13, 2023 by mes102 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelegazna Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 The 2023 edition of The Basketball Tournament is underway, and as best as I can tell, only one former Zip is taking part. Remember B.J. Gladden? Of all people. Started 9 games for the 14/15 Zips before transferring to Georgia Southern. He's on the team JUCOPRODUCTS, #7-seed in the Wichita region and taking on the #2-seed, Heartfire. It'll be on ESPN+ at noon ET tomorrow, hopefully we will have better luck than we did waiting for XC to enter summer league games for the Clippers.

Too bad Mid American Unity doesn't have a team this year, Nick Harney and Tree played for them last year along with other former MAC players... same for the Mental Tougness team, they had Aaron Jackson, Quincy Diggs, and Isaiah big dog Johnson Missing out on a lot of zips this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted September 26 Report Share Posted September 26 One of my favorite Zips. Love watching him on the fast break. Was fearless and scored about 95% of the time. Would love to see another Zip like him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
