As always, this is my least favorite thread to start every season.
Trevon Duval was drafted fifth in the draft today by Iowa so one would assume that he plays there this season.
It usually takes a few days to make it official, but Marques Bolden is expected to be one of four players that Cleveland places in Canton.
I was pretty disappointed not to see Bolden at least get a two way deal after seeing him still on the roster with less than 15 guys an only one committed two way deal.
Speaking of two way deals, I’d expect to see Amile on this thread a lot with the Lakeland Magic as he’s still on a two way deal with Orlando.
Yep, Amile probably has one more season before we can finally say goodbye to him on this thread.Quote:

On any other team, I would expect a ton of Gary Trent, but the Blazers do not have their own team so use the league sparingly.
Marques joining Canton for camp is confirmed:

The other big news is that Andre Dawkins is going to be in camp for the Santa Cruz Warriors after they traded for his rights in February. His last stint ended in injury so it is good to see that he is healthy again, but there is a lot of camp competition so it may be tough for him to make the final roster.
Andre has been waived.
There are only a handful of preseason games, but Trevon did play 11 minutes in one and scored 8 points. The Timberwolves have three players assigned to the team right now and also had both two-way contract players there so he had to settle for bench duty.

I also saw that Amile just signed a two-year deal with the Magic (upgraded from the two-way contract he was on previously). Great news for him! I imagine he'll still be mostly a G-league player, but maybe he'll get an appearance or two on the main squad.
Trevon had 13 points in 21 minutes as Iowa lost to Sioux Falls 128-122.

Games not broadcast on other platforms are directly on the G League's website this season.
Marques had 16 points and 9 rebounds in 23 minutes in Canton's 98-74 for his first game:

I would be surprised if Marques doesn't play in the NBA this year. Although pre-season doesn't count for much and G-League is not much more, he has acquitted himself well so far. Although the game has moved away from Marques' style of play, tall guys that can block shots, take up space in the lane, grab boards, and score close to the rim occasionally, still have value.Quote:

A good reminder of how far the G League is from the NBA at times.Quote:

Or from big time college basketball too. Maybe a consideration that escaped Trevon, Gary, etc....Quote:

With the big club having a day off and him not getting too many minutes, Amile made his first appearance for Lakeland get 22 points and 11 rebounds in 30 minutes in their 125-99 win over College Park:

That also means we get our first embedded highlights of the season:

Trevon did not play in a 129-105 Iowa win over El Segundo. I tried looking around a bit to see if there was a reason given, but did not seen anything.
Marques started, but for some reason is not listed with any stats right now as Canton beat Long Island 118-117:

Trevon had 7 points in 11 minutes in Iowa's 116-99 loss to Austin:
https://gleague.nba.com/games/20191122/AUSIWA/
I guess the injury scare that Marques had last game did not end up being anything as he played in Canton's next game and had 2 points in 4 minutes as they beat Ontario 107-104.

For years we have been used to looking at this thread and seeing Quin Cook, Amile Jefferson, Gary Trent, and other Dukies putting up big G-League numbers on their way to earning NBA contracts. I am bummed to see Marques and Trevon struggling to even get 10 or so minutes per game. Keep working at it, guys!
Particularly sobering for Duval, who is in his second year in the G-League. Matt Jones was much more productive in his two years in the G-League and he didn't get a sniff from the NBA.Quote:
