The Bayhawks lost to the D-Fenders (why would they get rid of the extra "e"? I can't stress enough how silly D-League names are) 117-112 last night. I actually watched a tiny bit of the game, and it's safe to say that the level of play in the D-League leaves something to be desired. I watched my new mainest man, Chris Daniels, and he looked like a bit of a stiff. He missed a bunny to tie the game with about 15 seconds left, but still had a monster game. I still think he might be worth a look on a 10 day contract at some point this year. For what it's worth, all D-League games can be streamed for free by clicking the "Futurecast" link on the right side of the D-League's website. Here are the lines of note:
Chris Daniels: (Texas A&M - Corpus Christi - 27 years old - 7'0" C): 32 points (11-14 FG, 1-1 3PT), 9 reb., 3 assists, 8 turnovers ---- I get the sneaking suspicion that D-League play involves a lot of guys jacking up shots, gunning for a shot to break into the league. That might explain the 8 turnovers. Even then, you can't argue with the numbers this guy is putting up; 18.3 PPG, 10.4 RPG, 59% FG, 39% 3PT. The most important statistic might be his height.
Devin Green: (Hampton - 29 years old - 6'7" SG): 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3PT), 3 reb., 4 assists ---- shockingly similar line to the previous game. Not sure what this guy was doing on the roster so late in the preseason. He seems to be struggling to get his in the D-League.
Kyle Spain: (San Diego State - 24 years old - 6'5" SG): 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3PT), 3 reb., 1 assist --- seems like this guy might be something of a gunner, as he's taken 63 shots from behind the arc in 14 games this season. Unfortunately, he only knocks them down at about a 35% clip, and this is his second year in the D-League.
