Mavric Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 There just aren't that many spots available in the NBA. He shot pretty well and was decent on assists-to-turnovers. But that's a pretty run-of-the-mill line. I would think he'd have to do something to stand out to have a shot. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Or after the season starts maybe he'll get a shot as injuries create spots. Not sure how that works in the NBA. Many years ago a guy from my high school got some chances this way. I think they had 10 day contracts for guys to fill in a temporary spot. He had 4 of them with different teams, so he actually tied an NBA record (most teams played for in a season) even though he only has 44 career points in 90 minutes. Not a bad scoring rate, actually. Maybe things have changed in 20+ years and each team has something like the NFL taxi squad or MLB farm teams? Quote Link to comment

SouthLincoln Husker Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Those shooting % are not going to cut it! Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Made his first 8 shots... Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Classic Petteway: One night after being absolutely on fire, he goes 2-12 from the field - including 1-7 on 3s - for seven points. Quote Link to comment
HuskermanMike Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'm not sure that those stats are gonna cut it but we shall see. Quote Link to comment

Especially when you take out the one really good game and get averages of 9.5 ppg, mid-30% from the field and about 25% on threes. Quote Link to comment
