    We have - or will soon have - 13 players under contract. We have seven spots available for camp invites. This thread is for speculating (and eventually answer those speculations).

    Quick recap of what it's like to be in the position of one of these dudes in SL: http://hoopshype.com/2015/08/02/the-life-of-the-non-guaranteed-player/

    I'm obviously not including Nick Young. I guess I should, but I can't.

    Personally, I'd like to see the following:
    Jabari Brown
    Zach Auguste
    Moustapha Fall
    Nikola Jovanovic
    Gary Payton Jr.

    And all this is also assuming we don't make an offer to a quality vet with the $$ we have available. Who ya got?

    I'm wondering what's going with Bass. If we bring Bass back then I don't think Auguste has a shot at making the team. Between the two I think Bass makes more sense, but I do really like Auguste.

    From the summer league team I'd probably only give an invite to Auguste. Maybe Fall just because of size but I do not like Mumford at all. Jabari Brown cause why not, he can score (though it looks like he has regressed?) but doesn't do much else.

    I'd like to see Wragge get an invite. Just so I can yell "Raggy!!!" whenever he hits a shot.

    I really didn't like anybody but Auguste. Whatever. We need another wing, though. A 2/3 hybrid. Rush goes to Minnesota on a 1 year 3 million dollar contract. Ugh. Brown's been horrible and Ingram is a rookie. Ugh.

    Brown shot better in the last game. His confidence is the issue. Luke will need to work his magic.

    I would not invite Jabari Brown again. Saw no improvement from him, he blended in with the background. He also seemed to have the same defeatist attitude when things weren't going his way, I don't like it. If he hasn't gotten it by now he's not gonna.

    Yeah, I like Anthony Brown (not Jabari), but he better show me something soon, or I'll have to hop aboard the "Brown sucks" train.

    you shouldn't.

    isn't gp under contract with houston?

    i honestly like fall more than auguste, who seems just too small for his game. jabari brown needs to seek employment in china.

    i REALLY want to like anthony brown. but man, [bill walton]make a shot[/bill walton]

    You're right. Payton did sign a contract. I thought he'd only received an invite to SL. Scratch him off the list. He's a decent defensive talent, but his dad's a headache.

    I like Fall too. A little ponderous, but still a literally enormous presence around the rim. I dig him. I think he should be a camp invite at least and could be a good D-Fenders stash.

    I like Fall, but not sure he can get up to an NBA level yet.
