vs the Pels. I'm looking forward to watching, I haven't been able to see a ton of NBA games this year.
Re: Jazz Sign Erik McCree
I just can't watch it. I try.
Great athletes (maybe the best), but not much TEAM out there in the NBA.

Understandable. "Hero ball."

He's gotten in 2 games at the very end so far, hasn't accumulated any stats yet. His 1 official shot attempt wasn't really a shot. He got stripped going up for a layup/dunk, and I guess they ruled it a blocked shot/missed field goal attempt. He pretty much sits at the end of the bench and cheers. He's still starting for the G-League team, though.

Still counts.
He's closer than anyone in a long time to the NBA. If he keeps contributing in the G League (are the games still free to stream on YouTube?) and improving he'll get his chance.

And he's getting paid an NBA salary as long as he's on the active roster whether he plays or just sits at the end of the bench.

Facebook LIve looks to be the place for most of their games http://saltlakecity.gleague.nba.com/schedule/ (Also Eleven Sports on the paid end)

That's what counts. I can't name one player beside Hassan Whiteside who came out of any CUSA school and is presently actually playing regularly in the NBA. Most who give it a whirl end up being relatively low paid practice dummies in the G League.
Of course, I'm talking about the 14 universities presently in the CUSA, and the players who went from CUSA to the NBA, not to the NBA from another conference or from teams who have left the present CUSA.

Closest since Milsap, right? I want to say Kyser played like 1 game for the Raptors before getting cut, though.
