Summer League Rosters - Utah Jazz

Jon L — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:29:22 -0000

Summer League is rapidly approaching, so today we're going to start our series of Summer League roster breakdowns (which hopefully lasts longer than the D-League player profiles). Summer League rosters are odd creatures, a mix of guys who were just drafted a month ago showing what they can do in an NBA team setting, former college players who weren't drafted a month ago, two- and three-year veterans looking to solidify their spot in the rotation, and some combination of D-League guys, former NBA players who've fallen out of the league, and players who spent time in Europe all looking to show they can play in the league.

The teams are usually coached by one of the NBA club's assistants with the head coach often watching from the stands. Sometimes other countries send teams to play against these groups of players, and this year there will be a team in Vegas entirely comprised of D-League players. The purpose of this series is to give you, the readers, a better idea of just who the heck these guys are who are representing your favorite teams. First up: the Utah Jazz.

NBA Players: Kosta Koufos, Eric Maynor, Goran Suton
Koufos and Kyrylo Fesenko each shuttled back and forth between the NBA and the D-League last season, both are big men, and they put up similar numbers while playing for the Utah Flash, though Koufos is probably a better scorer while Fesenko has the rebounding edge. Koufos and Fes are also expected to take on slightly larger roles for the Jazz this year, though who knows now that Mehmet Okur and Carlos Boozer have decided not to opt out. Maynor and Suton are both draft picks. Maynor enters Summer League as the likely backup PG, and Suton is a jump-shooting center who fits into the team's offense but might be too low on the depth chart to get much time.

Everyone else is after the jump.

2008-09 D-Leaguers: Kevin Kruger, Andre Ingram, Cedric Bozeman, Justin Reed
Kruger and Ingram both played for the Utah Flash last year. Kruger's a point guard, and an okay one. Not great, but the occasional bad game aside he takes care of the ball and he shot 52.4 percent on three pointers in 21 games. Ingram and Bozeman are both shooting guards (Bozeman played the point in Anaheim last season though, and has good size), with Ingram being a better three-point shooter and Bozeman having the edge in rebounding. Reed put together some decent games last season, but I can't get myself worked up over him. It's mostly his inconsistent rebounding that stands out for me. He is a good defender and has seen some NBA action a couple seasons ago.

Undrafted College Players: Gary Wilkinson, Wesley Matthews, Jim(my) Baron
Wilkinson's local, having gone to Utah State where he was the Western Athletic Conference player of the year last season... Baron's the Atlantic-10 Conference career leader in three pointers made... Matthews is a decent all-around swingman (though he's a bit undersized as a forward) and plays solid defense.

Others: James Augustine, Kevin Lyde, Reyshawn Terry, Josh Duncan, Larry Turner
I'm still not sure what to call these guys. Lame Ducks? Retreads? Potpourri? At any rate, Terry is a former second round pick from UNC who's been playing in Greece. Duncan showed some skills at last year's Portsmouth Invitational, though he's not very athletic and played in France this past season. Lyde spent some time in the D-League (, where he was an okay rebounder, before heading over to the Baltic League this past season. He's been to training camp with the Jazz before, but with all of the frontcourt players they have it's hard to see him sticking this year. Augustine is the University of Illinois' career rebounds leader and appeared briefly in the D-League before getting into 25 games with the Orlando Magic in 2007-2008. He spent last year in Spain. Turner played with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in 2007-2008, though his averages weren't great for a center. I couldn't find information on what he did last season.

Orlando Magic Announce Summer-League Roster; Ryan Anderson, Jeremy Richardson, and Milovan Rakovic Among Team Invitees

Ben Q Rock — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:12:19 -0000

The Orlando Magic just passed along the roster for their summer-league team. Newly acquired power forward Ryan Anderson headlines the group, as does former 60th overall draft selection Milovan Rakovic. Jeremy Richardson, who saw limited action as the Magic's 15th man last year, will also appear for them in summer league.

The complete roster follows the jump:

UPDATE: Spoiler alert - Kasib Powell, is on the Magic's summer team, and wrote a post for 3QC sister-site Ridiculous Upside about his preparing to join the Magic. Scott, who runs the site, told me via Twitter that he believes Powell will make the Magic's final roster.

No.	Name	Pos.	Ht.	Wt.	Last Team/College
6	Maurice Ager	G	6-2	220	New Jersey Nets/Michigan State
41	Lance Allred	C	6-11	260	NBDL Idaho Stampede/Weber State
33	Ryan Anderson	F	6-10	240	New Jersey Nets/California
3	Brian Chase	G	5-10	170	Dynamo Moscow/Virginia Tech
21	Ronald Dupree	F	6-7	209	NBDL Utah Flash/Louisiana State
10	Courtney Fells	G	6-6	210	North Carolina State
2	Levance Fields	G	5-10	190	Pittsburgh
23	C.J. Giles	F	6-11	240	Smart Gilas Pilipinas (Philippines)/Oregon State
35	Richard Hendrix	F	6-9	255	NBDL Dakota Wizards/Alabama
16	Stevan Milosevic	C	7-0	260	Koeln 99ers (Germany)
1	Jeremy Pargo	G	6-2	220	Gonzaga
22	Kasib Powell	F	6-7	215	NBDL Sioux Falls Skyforce/Texas Tech
19	Milovan Rakovic	F	6-10	280	Spartak Saint Petersburg (Russia)
32	Jeremy Richardson	F	6-7	195	Orlando Magic/Delta State
24	Russell Robinson	G	6-1	190	NBDL Reno Bighorns/Kansas
5	Darian Townes	F	6-10	250	NBDL Erie BayHawks/Arkansas

At a glance, the roster is heavy with big-man prospects. The most appealing to me is Richard Hendrix, a rebounding machine whom the Warriors selected in the 2nd round of the 2008 draft, only to cut him when Monta Ellis returned from his suspension for injuring himself on a mo-ped. He has yet to play in the NBA, but tore up the D-League. In my estimation, he has mid-rotation potential for the Magic, who are light on rebounders behind Dwight Howard.

Jeremy Pargo, an undrafted point guard, also interests me, for reasons I specified last week.

Curious to see that Rakovic will indeed make the trip to Orlando. The Magic acquired his draft rights from Dallas in exchange for Reyshawn Terry's rights in 2007. Not sure if he stands a chance of making the final cut, especially when the Magic will probably try to address their big-man needs via free agency. Still, Rakovic made it here quicker than did 2005 lottery selection Fran Vazquez. No idea what his status is, by the way.

As far as I know, Spanish point guard Carlos Cabezas is the only player to turn the Magic down for a camp invite. This post from TalkBasket.net, dated June 16th, said the Magic invited Cabezas, who said, "they've been interested in me for a couple of years," but he would consider proposals from other teams in Europe.

All-in-all, this year's summer league team holds more promise than those of years past. Add that to the fact that the Magic have at least 5 spots to fill on the big-league team, and a fairly limited budget with which to do it, and we have an even more intriguing week ahead of us.

Indeed, summer league starts next Monday, July 6th. The Orlando Magic emphasized in the roster announcement that games are not open to the public. Luckily, 3QC has it covered. Eddy and I will be there all week. Good times.

NBA Summer League Rosters Taking Shape

Scott Schroeder — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 02:00:21 -0000

UPDATED - check after the jump for everything updated in the past three days.

Alright, we got all of the personal mumbo-jumbo out of the way - let's begin with the Summer League coverage!

The Orlando of the NBA Summer League schedule (July 6-10) is here, the Vegas portion of the NBA Summer League schedule (July 10-19) is here and the NBA Summer League roster of your favorite team (so far) is... After the jump!

I was all drafted out, so sorry for the lack of posting going on this weekend - I sincerely apologize to all thirteen of you that were disappointed. As a show of goodwill, I worked feverishly throughout the weekend to scour my sources, google the news, and do anything and everything I could to start piecing together an accurate view of what your team will look like this Summer.

Granted, it's probably not likely to expect much out of some of these players, but each year there are players that pop up from nowhere in Summer League and impress enough to earn a spot on an NBA roster. The most recent example would be Bobby Brown from last season, though there are plenty more (and we'll look at them throughout the next week heading into the Orlando portion of NBA Summer League's).

After the jump, I've put together a list of which players I've (all but) confirmed. If you're aware of anymore, let me know in the comments! If you're unsure of one of the players, click on the link - it'll either take you to their SBNation page or, if they're a bit more obscure, whichever source linked them to said Summer League team.

Mavs Cut Smith, Gadson, and Terry

Wes Cox — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 21:03:57 -0000

Per Eddie Sefko

The Mavericks are now down to the 15-player limit after cutting Cheyne Gadson, JaJuan Smith and Reyshawn Terry.

The only one of those three who really had a shot was Reyshawn Terry, who I think can get a roster spot somewhere. JaJuan Smith showed flashes over the summer and occasionally in the preseason, but I think his slim chance went out the window after last night.
