I think JT would be a perfect second round pick for the Celts ( a team rumored to be looking to find a second round pick). He is Marcus Smart on D, except he has developed his outside shot.

I don’t see EC getting drafted, his game was not consistent enough.

I agree, I think JT has much better chance of being selected, albeit a long shot still. I think Terrell's weakness is his height but in the current NBA of "pace and space" and "position-less basketball" that is less of a factor than it used to be.

EC reminds me of a guard version of Delroy James when he was coming out. Both have the height and athleticism for their positions however both are too reliant on there left hand and have inconsistent jumpers.

I want this.

I would be interested if they came out with a tagless version. This is 2018. There should be no more tags in shirts. Good graphics, though!

If you figure out a way to purchase this, please let me know.

I saw a brief write-up on a Twitter link on Hass. He made $112,000 playing this year. Nice!

After working out for the Sacramento Kings, E.C. Matthews also worked out for the Phoenix Suns this week.

Celtics don't have a second rounder lol

I think he is better off not getting drafted in the second round which would allow him the chance to sign with a team that affords him a better chance of making the team.

I think he's better off getting drafted.
If you're drafted you have a better chance of getting more playing time in the summer league.
I mean if he earns it in practice he'd play nontheless.
If either one is drafted, I like their chances. If not, then it's an uphill climb.

Two years ago. 30% of the players on NBA opening day rosters played in the Development League.
The % increased again last year. I was shocked by that.

Jared Terrell wearing Lakers gear for his workout a couple days ago....



Also a brief scouting report from SI which lists Terrell as 69th best available prospect:

69. JARED TERRELL, G, RHODE ISLAND | SENIOR
Height: 6'3" | Weight: 215 | Age: 23 | Last: 85
Stats: 16.8 PPG, 2.4 APG, 41.4% 3FG

Solid, if unspectacular, in most facets of the game, Terrell is a nice sleeper as a combo guard, with a well-built body, good court vision and a level of toughness to him. He had success playing both on and off the ball on a guard-driven team at Rhode Island, and is a capable set shooter and playmaker. Terrell averaged 1.5 steals last season and has the strength to hang with larger opponents on the wing. He doesn't have a lot of wiggle creating off the dribble and sometimes has issues getting all the way to the rim, but he was solid at Portsmouth and deserves an opportunity to work his way up to the league.

This is spot on for Terrell in my opinion..."deserves an opportunity to work his way up to the league." He isn't going to get drafted, but he should at least get a chance to make a run at it and play his way in if he can.

I think during this most recent NBA season the stat was 40-45% of the league rosters had spent some amount of time in the G League.
With the reinstatement of the bypassing college rule, investment from NBA teams in their local G League franchises and the NBAs focus on making it work the G League has a bright future ahead as a legitimate and entertaining product. And will be a very realistic path to the league for many undrafted players.

The 2 way contracts help as well.

Ugh love JT but not like seeing him in Laker purple and gold !!

JT in LA like LO that would be cool.
Whoever any Rhody player plays for I root for.

Good to see JT getting some looks. Haven't seen much on EC. Anyone know if
he's getting any interest, Tryouts?

News on EC NBA tryouts is only a few posts above.

Jared Terrell working out for the Atlanta Hawks today...

Big X fan. I wish he was here longer but I think he is great for the URI brand. Would love to see him consistently on an NBA team. JT and EC must be picking his brain a little.

Awesome these guys are back. Did they play pickup with the team too ??

If he ends up on the sixers, are you buying court-side season tix?

You think I have court-side season ticket money?

Jared got a 2nd workout with the Timberwolves. They must be pretty interested.

EC rolled his ankle and barely participated in workouts.

Have a feeling this kid will be injured his whole career...

Sucks to happen to such a good kid.

I hope either EC or JT make a roster we shall see

No Rhody Rams drafted as expected.
Hope EC isn't too injured to play.

Yeah I was hoping to hear one of their names called that sucks

Only one A-10 player was drafted and he was the last pick overall. Philadelphia 76'ers select Dayton freshman PF Kostas Antetokounmpo as the 60th pick.

Wow when was the last time that no A10 players drafted ??

EC playing for Gizzies in the Summer League.

Awesome hope to see him in Vegas . I am going on July 14th

I see Matthew Butler is on the Grizzlies summer league roster, too.

Look at our former bench warmer go!
He's doing better than many thought.
Go Matt and EC! get it done in Memphis Tennessee!

Here's a list of where most everyone is going.

Interesting how the Suns got not only Arizona's Deandre Ayton, but also Arizona's Dusan Ristic.

Y’all hate Ruthie, too, or... ?
