The roster will be as follows, though it could be subject to further changes. Kaniel Dickens ended up backing out of his commitment, but it's still a surprisingly talented roster. I bolded the players who I think have a shot at making an NBA regular season roster given the right situation (didn't bother with the guys already on the team).

Pooh Jeter, PG
Blake Ahearn, PG/SG
Drew Neitzel, PG/SG
Bryce Taylor, SG
Vince Grier, SG/SF
Corey Brewer, SF
Dan Coleman, SF
Kevin Love, PF/C
Chris Richard, PF/C
Longar Longar, C

and the name I was talking about in the other thread, still a maybe, is Patrick O'Bryant.

Jeter is one of my favorite players, and will hopefully get his chance to stick as the third point guard.

The game schedule is as follows:
July 14th vs. Dallas, 10:30PM Est
July 16th vs. L.A. Lakers, 8:30PM Est
July 17th vs. Portland, 10:30PM Est
July 19th vs. Milwaukee, 8:30PM Est
July 20th vs. New York, 4:00PM Est

I had read the Pekovic was going to play in the summer league. Is that even possible or was it just speculation?

Thanks for the info mnWI!

wow, Vince Grier!

I have to admit, I love that guy and I couldn't believe he didn't stick

hard to find a player that gifted off the dribble and when his jumper his falling he can drop 40 on you in a blink

And he plays defense too. Where has he even been anyways? He was with the Heat, then I think he must've joined a buddhist monastery or something because i haven't heard anything since.

Unfortunately he has no shot of making the team unless he averages 55/20

not a bad roster at all! although I did hear about Pekovic playing too....

without him the starting line up should be

PG: Nietzel
SG: Grier
SF: Brew crew
PF: Love
C: Richard

Sweet! I created Grier in NBA 2K8 for the wolves when I first got the game. I don't have much interest in POB.

Why is O'Bryant only a maybe? I think we should definitely give him a look.

+1

POB could be the young athletic 7-footer we need to round out our c/pf rotation.

Bolding Grier but not Neitzel?

I assume the "maybe" is on O'Bryant's end, not the Wolves' end.

Could someone provide a link to the other thread, because I'm not finding it.

I'm very interested in whatever info I can find out about our attempts to get O'Bryant.

anyone know where Lester Hudson or Joseph Jones are? they'd be great pickups

its in the Neitzel thread, he said Wolves are working on another name that "will be well received"

McCants did the summer league last year. I think you might be thinking of the D-League, or maybe their is a loophole?

This is from a preview of last years summer league:

Rashad McCants: Vegas holds utmost importance to McCants, who actually requested that he be allowed to play (rare for first-round picks heading into their third season). After showing a great deal of promise as a rookie when his minutes were extended in the spring, Rashad spent the 2006-07 season recovering from major knee surgery. Like Foye and Smith, his face is one that Wolves employees have become accustomed to seeing in the practice facility on a daily basis. Will his explosiveness be where it was? ’Shaddy seems about as hungry as a bear coming out of hibernation to prove it, a fact that could spell trouble for Vegas defenders.

There you go. Foye didnt request to play? He must not want to play with the team, what a primmadonna

That's what I meant. I wish Foye would request to play. Pull a McCants or Artest.

I think Hudson went back to school
