NBA (and other pro league) Buffs

Andre Roberson seems to be dating Rachel Demita, the host of NBA TV on the 2k series.
 
Watched DWhite earlier, think he had 21, so another good showing for him. I didn't know he was playing point, he fit it pretty well. Flip side for Trae Young, that dude better find a weight room quickly. He's not near strong enough to play at even the summer league level and it shows. He'll take some time to develop for sure. Think DWhite will play for SA all season, he looks ready to at least.

------- "Derrick White, the Spurs' first-round pick from 2017, took charge and dominated the early game Tuesday against Atlanta. A smart combo guard who played in 17 games with San Antonio last season and averaged 20 points in 24 games at the Spurs' G League affiliate in Austin, White initiated offense with ease, scoring 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting, dishing out nine assists, and collecting six rebounds. He alternated between scoring and playmaking, excelling in the pick-and-roll, passing up good-not-great shots to find cutters with open lanes to the rim, and kicking it out to shooters when he met a wall of defenders on a drive. Though White isn't an elite-level athlete, he's steady and unselfish, with a chance to be a reliable shooter from the outside."
 
Derrick White - G - Spurs
Derrick White exploded again during a 94-87 win over the Grizzlies on Thursday, scoring 26 points with seven rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block, five 3-pointers and four turnovers in 29 minutes.
He's been by far the best player in Utah. White has scored at will in his three games with 22 points on Monday and 21 points on Tuesday while handing out some pretty dimes to set up his teammates. White was on his way to a gigantic evening with 21 points in the first half, but cooled off after half in this win. The Spurs are likely going to need some offense and with White looking way more comfortable, maybe he can find a regular role. He's too good to be playing in Vegas, so he may be limited there.

Looks like George King is wearing glasses. WTF?
Yeah.. Glad he's okay, could've been a lot worse.
"After Wednesday's summer league team workout, King told azcentral sports that he received the two black eyes after a predraft workout with the Utah Jazz. He was using an exercise band to rehab a twisted ankle and, as he was using the band, it slipped off his foot and went straight to his eyes before he could even blink. The band struck his right eye first before hitting underneath his left. Now he has to wear glasses for at least the next two months. "

Wow, glad to hear he’s alright.

Wow.
 
Kyle Anderson is likely to go to Memphis. Another guard spot opened up on the Spurs. White plays at 1:30 and GK plays at 7 (I think?)
 
Some highlights from George's best summer league game. All 9 of his points in the first 3 minutes of the video.

You also may spot another former Buff for the 76ers...Ski Booker found his way onto the squad and had 11 pts, 7 rebs, 6 assists.

 
Dominique Collier becomes the first US newcomer

The first US-new entry of the basketball players of FC Schalke 04 is certain! Dominique Collier (22) comes from the Colorado Buffaloes to the Royal Blues and signs a contract for the upcoming season in the BARMER 2nd basketball Bundesliga ProA.

With Dominique Collier, the miners commit another guard, who can be used flexibly on the small positions and for the commitment at FC Schalke 04 is the first professional station in his career. The US boy comes from the Colorado Buffaloes NCAA Division 1 and will come up for the S04 in the future.
Raphael Wilder: "We were looking for a player who could throw well, but who would also be able to shape the game. Although Dominique is a rookie, he comes from the Pac 12 Conference, which is the sixth-best conference in Division 1 and from which many NBA players have sprung. So he played at a very high level and even got an award there. "
Awarded several times

Collier was born on December 8, 1995 in Denver, Colorado, USA, and played basketball for Denver East High School for three years during his school years. He was named "Gatorade Player Of The Year" in 2013 and was named Best Player of the Year in the state of Colorado. In 2014, he then went to college and played alongside his studies for the University of Colorado Boulder. Also for the youth national teams of the USA, the Guard was nominated and wore the jersey of his country in the selection teams of the U16, U17 and U18.
For three consecutive years, the 22-year-old was in his starting line-up during his college years and had to vacate his starter place last for a teammate who will play in the upcoming season in the NBA. However, this was by no means noticeable in his performance, which is why he was honored and honored by the headcoaches of the conference with the "Co-6th Man of the Year" award. In his senior year at college, he scored an average of 7.5 points in 32 games and scored 48% of his threes in the conference.
Perfect addition to Courtney Belger

The ambitious American can be used flexibly and, of course, captivates above all with his unerring litter, which, in the eyes of department head Tobias Steinert, will allow him to harmonize perfectly with his compatriot Courtney Belger. "Dominique has played in a very good conference for a college with an excellent reputation and has always done well there. We are glad that we were able to convince him to start his professional career at FC Schalke 04 and see him as a perfect match to Courtney Belger, "says Steinert.
The royal blue newcomer is expected in time for the training kick-off on 1 August in Gelsenkirchen and will then start together with his new teammates in the preparation.
 
"had to vacate his starter place last for a teammate who will play in the upcoming season in the NBA."
Didn't know that Mac Wright was going to be playing in the NBA this season ... hope he's a Nugget
