Jeff Foote, the seven-footer who helped Cornell get to the Elite Eight in 2010, has been signed by the Armor who has been without a true center since Chris Taft hurt his knee and was waived last week. Foote has played for Maccabi Tel Aviv and was signed this summer by Zastal in the Polish League, where he was replaced by Jordan Williams.
The Springfield Armor will open their third season --and their first as a Nets hybrid-- in Springfield at 7 p.m. Friday vs. the Maine Red Claws, the Celtics affiliate. The Nets assumed control of basketball operations in May, promoting Milton Lee to GM and hiring Bob MacKinnon and Chris Carawell as coaches.
With Chris Taft, at 6'10", and James Smith, at 7'0", waived Tuesday, the Armor will go into Friday's opener with an undersized line-up. Only Dennis Horner, 6'9, 230 out of North Carolina State, and Jamar Brown, 6'10, 235, from Colorado State-Pueblo, are taller than 6'7", Still Bob MacKinnon remains optimistic.
The Springfield Armor has until Wednesday to cut five players and set its roster for Saturday's opening game vs. the Maine Red Claws. There's been little information about how things are going at the Armor training camp, but the D-League's Sam Farber thinks Chris Taft could be big this season.
The day has been filled with bad news, but if you're looking for some hope, Gary Sussman and the D-League staff have a bit to offer: the inside story of how the Springfield Armor got their man, 6'10" Chris Taft, in the D-League Draft.
The 17 players that make up the current Armor roster are already in Springfield, with the official start of training camp Saturday. Players arrived Wednesday and Thursday with physicals stretched out over two days, starting Thursday. No reports of any problems. The team's first meeting will be Friday. Camp begins Saturday.
Sam Farber, who writes for the D-League's official site, calls the Springfield Armor's pick of ex-Warrior Chris Taft "one of the great thefts of the D-League Draft."
In the summer before the 2004-2005 season, many thought Chris Taft of Pitt was the likely choice for the overall #1 pick in the June Draft. After being named Big East Rookie of the Year in 2004, the big athletic Taft seemed to riding high. But his sophomore season was a disappointment and his workouts were lackadaisical.
I actually have a lot of things in the works as far as unfinished projects for Ridiculous Upside are concerned. Unfortunately, they are still all unfinished on this beautiful Monday morning so all 13 of our loyal readers will instead be subjected to links to a few mostly-relevant posts related to the NBA Development League.
Chris Taft is working toward an NBA comeback.
A writer from Scouts, Inc. for ESPN.com ranks the Big East basketball classes and Pitt is sixth. Every now and then when I see these stories, it really gets me to thinking. To be honest, I don't...
Lots of non-Louisville game stuff to mention that happened over the past week or so:Some ESPN encyclopedia fails to rank Pitt's basketball program in the top ten in the 2000s. Now I'm not going to...
