Re: Erik McCree to the Houston Rockets
Bad news for McCree is the Rockets also signed a more highly rated SF from Georgetown LJ Peak.

Re: Erik McCree to the Houston Rockets
Odds that an undrafted free agent ever gets a roster spot in the NBA are slim to none. Difficult enough for second round picks.

Those numbers got me curious.
What exactly are those percentages? Percentage of players on rosters who were UDFAs? Or percentage of UDFAs who actually make rosters? Because those are two very different things.
I'd also be curious as to how many of the NBA UDFAs are foreigners.
The NBA is definitely the toughest major pro league to make it in.
McCree was a 3rd round talent, but the problem is the NBA obviously doesn't have a 3rd round. In the NFL and MLB, everybody praises 3rd round picks as high selections.

Re: Erik McCree to the Houston Rockets
The good news for someone like Erik is the NBA is fully committed to turning the G-League into a real minor league. Salaries are increasing. Guys can make a living -- maybe not eight figures, but good money -- for playing in the G-League. If he impresses enough during the NBA Summer League, Erik might be able to get one of the new two-way contracts between the NBA and the G-League.

I think that's the kicker - probably a very high percentage of that # is foreign players who sign as Undrafted Free agents
That number is percentage on active rosters - nba should be higher because their are 60? picks annually and fewer slots to fill which translates into a higher percentage -

Think of the Travelers Tournament as pro golf's "Armed Forces Bowl". It may not be the Masters (or Rose Bowl), but it still has very good players that can put on a damn good show.
ARMED FORCES BOWL ranked #3 in 2016 Bowls

Travelers Championship Attendance
It is the second-most-attended PGA Tour event annually, behind only the
Waste Management Phoenix Open.
[4] In 2011, the tournament attracted 240,000 fans for the week and 70,000 fans on Sunday.
The tournament set a record attendance in 2002 with nearly 400,000 fans for the week. The tournament has been played annually in Cromwell since
1984, and since 1991 the tournament has been held on the course at the
TPC at River Highlands.

A classic. Of the three recent bowls this is my favorite. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. As you would expect, the Navy faithful/fans are pure class. Shared a hotel with a bunch of 'em and the next morning at breakfast, me decked out in Tech gear, they were nothing but complimentary and genuinely impressed with the Dawgs and Tech's fan support, etc...
I hope I'm able to attend a 4th straight bowl....and we make it a 4-0 run.

There you go making poor assumptions again. ;) I like golf. It's actually my favorite hobby. But anybody who thinks the PGA Tour is a major sporting league like the NFL, NBA, or MLB is really out of touch with reality. Like it or not, golf is a niche sport.

Are you seriously saying the major sports leagues are the NFL, MLB, and PGA??? :icon_roll:
If you want to go by TV revenue and ratings, the PGA Tour TV contracts are nowhere near those of the 3 major sports leagues, and Fox is losing big bucks on their PGA Tour deal due to poor ratings.

Is golf really a "sport" at all, major or otherwise? I always think of golf as more of a "game" like tiddlywinks or something (but less interesting to watch). ;)

You defining the "major" sports by those that sell the most tickets and draw the most market share. Yes, that is the NFL, MLB and NBA
I'd say that the market choosing to view golf over the MLB or the NBA has a much higher average income. The three major sports advertise with fast food and beer while golf goes after an entirely different market. Yes some cross over, but the three "major" sports are geared toward millennials first. I've had no desire to watch the NFL or NBA in years just because of the BS content.

No - the networks value the GOLF watcher and their pocket books for the ad dollar much more so than the NBA and MLB and it's not even close -
The question is can GOLF maintain that "niche" as you call it since the "death" of Tiger - because golf equipment sales are down, play is down globally etc etc etc

I've thought a lot about why golf play is down. IMO, Tiger's impact was more about TV viewers than public turn on/off to the game.
Kids played golf as a summer hobby back in they day. It was cheap and a great baby sitter. Almost every small town even in rural Louisiana had at least a 9 hole course. A couple of generations later young kids are interested in other sports like soccer. They'd also rather sit in the A/C with their phones than go outside and play any sport all day. Goodness forbid they actually have to walk the course instead of ride in a cart. Kids are soft now and the generation who focused on providing community 9 hole courses has almost died off. All those kids had high school or college buddies who took up the sport after high school sports. That's thousands of potential golfers we've lost causing community courses to have either shut down now or membership has almost died out. This is a nation wide thing. Cost of play has always been an excuse, but honestly it was never that expensive for a kid to play golf...until now.

Money is a big driver in the reason golf is down. However, locally there is a cheap option for kids that allows them to play all the courses around here, including Squire Creek very cheaply. The Front Nine Tour covers all of North LA and I think the cost is around $150- maybe a little more. That is a clinic per week and 5 tournaments. The younger kids are playing at Squire Creek today. Hopefully more kids will pick the game up- it is a great sport, hobby, past time, whatever you want to call it.:)

I don't disagree, but my main point is that the game has gone down in popularity over a long period of time and influenced by many things. Tiger Woods was not the main cause of the upswing in the 60s or the downswing of the last 2000s. The media has indoctrinated otherwise.

Re: Erik McCree to the Houston Rockets
Golf is not cheap and will always big a smaller sport that's popularity will ebb and flow. It can only be viewed as cheap when you compare it to the cost of playing through the years. You have to pay to play, buy clubs, buy balls. Compare that to other sports: football, basketball where you just need a ball, and baseball where you need a ball and glove. Golf ain't a cheap sport. Maybe "more affordable" than in years past.

It was inexpensive "back in the day". Muni courses charged a few bucks for an all day green fee. You could pick up a decent set of clubs and a bag for $100 or less (still can). Also used golf balls are not expensive.
As I said earlier, now there are fewer muni courses, kids won't walk because their Mom tells them it's too hot, and they would never be caught with a set of cheap clubs to go along with their $600 Iphone and dozen ProVs.

Re: Erik McCree to the Houston Rockets
I started playing golf at about age 12. We used to play the "Junior Course" in City Park, green fees were 75 cents. It was a 9-hole course, remnants of the original course where the New Orleans Open was played. The best of the City Park courses was the "West Course" green fees were $2.25. There was a concession stand where you could get a huge fountain drink for 26 cents!

Re: Erik McCree to the Houston Rockets
McCree was one of I believe 3 Rockets who didn't enter that game. Hamilton was next door with Golden State and played 21 minutes off the bench (most of any Warrior bench player). Nothing special, just 4 points on 1-5 shooting, 2/2 FTs. 4 rebounds and 8 assists. 2 steals maybe?

I guess I just see 1-5 and 4 pts and think... Meh. I know there's more to it than points, but still.
I'm football first, bball distant second so I guess I'm just not familiar with what is considered good for a bench player lol

"Serviceable" might be a better term, perhaps ??
"Incredible" might better apply to Lonzo Ball's triple-double (11-11-11) in 34 minutes ?? Particularly, given Ball was a college freshman last season.

:icon_roll: Ummm.. I didn't realize we were comparing Alex to the #2 pick in the draft. Then why not compare Alex's performance to Lonzo's awful first game?
Alex's stat line per 48 min...
18.3 assists
9.1 points
9.1 boards
4.6 steals
Alex's assists per 48 min would've been #1 in the NBA last season... by far! James Harden was #1 with 14.8 per 48 min.
Also Alex's steals per 48 min would've been #1 in the NBA last season... by far! TJ McConnell was #1 with 3.0 per 48 min.
Those stats with enough PT in the NBA would've made Alex an All-NBA player. So yeah, "incredible" is the right word, and "serviceable" is an insult.
Oh yeah, after that game, Alex was #1 in the Summer League in assists, and he only played less than half a game.
Attachment 14033

Re: Erik McCree to the Houston Rockets
:icon_roll: I'll stick with "serviceable". "Incredible" could get you a roster spot in the NBA. BTW, have you bothered to check the player stats in the Summer League (Las Vegas) after the first game ?? Last time I looked, there were 3 players averaging 8 assists per game.

From NBA.com after last night's game...
"If he can develop his perimeter jumper, he could be a guy that gets serious consideration for a roster spot at the next level."

Alex has impressed.
Have I looked at the stats? Yeah, I posted a screenshot of the stats. Did you look at how many minutes the others were averaging?
Sorry you can't admit Alex produced an incredible stat line that night.

"solid" -- I like that description. 2 assists tonight, BTW.

Alex is one of my favorite Bulldogs, but there was nothing incredible about that stat line.

Per 48 min...- 18.3 assists (would be #1 in NBA)
- 9.1 points
- 9.1 boards
- 4.6 steals (would be #1 in NBA)
Sorry, but that is an incredible All-NBA caliber stat line, far better than serviceable.

Re: Erik McCree to the Houston Rockets
But, ......................................
He isn't generating those stats in the NBA against NBA competition.
How about you work up some "Per 48 min..." numbers for all the Summer League games Alex has participated in to date ?? I'll be expecting some incredible results.

Dude gets in a game for 2 minutes and takes one shot and makes a three-pointer.
Per 48 min...
72 points
That would be an incredible All-NBA caliber stat line.
Except, it isn't.
