I knew he was in camp at Sacramento and was on the roster in preseason but I honestly didn't know he got in a regular season game...And I was his coach

Better than most of us though.SCAR wrote:C'mon man, 5 minutes in two games.

BuryYourDuke wrote:Daddy is still opening doors...You are way overrating how much stroke a guy who played ONE SEASON for Cleveland 20 some years ago and is now totally associated with another team has with their current management. The tiny foot in the door Seth got with this 10 day contract is probably about 10% dad and 90% what he did in the DL. If it goes any further it will be because he earned it. Way too many dollars at stake in the NBA to waste a roster spot as a favor to a former player who now works for a competitor.

That would normally get a player a look sooner. Somehow I feel the league has decided since he is NOT the player his brother is, he doesn't belong. Hopefully he will actually get some minutes with the Suns so he can find out if he can actually play in the NBA or not.

Erie is third lowest scoring team at slightly over 100 a game, 12 of the 18 score over 105 a game. His %s are pretty nice though.Sly Fox wrote:For the record, Seth is back in the Association now with the Suns.He had an excellent season in the D league, averaging something like 23 points and 5 assists.

lynchburgwildcats wrote:Wildcat I agree with you about pace of the games in the D League but the other thing to consider is where he is getting his shots and can he get those shots in the association. I don't know the answer to that. I'm just saying it is also a factor. I hope he sticks. I am one of the few on this board I would imagine that wished Seth nothing but the best when he left LU.olldflame wrote:23 points is nice, but in the super high pace of the D League, it would only be about 16-18 points a game in NBA league pace.

He was working with the Mavs summer league team the past few weeks.This is what a lot of people don't realize. It's why Steph is such an incredible shooter and has a quick release. The hidden secret to taking your shot to the 'next level'

He was seeing lots of junk defenses.Dell was talking about that with me in January of that year. Both dad and son were frustrated with the amount of defensive attention he was receiving. Also Dell asked me on several occasions what I thought about the level of competition in the Big South. It was writing on the wall as far as I am concerned looking back.
Congrats to Seth, and I will def be pulling for you in Sacramento.
