@BeddieKU23 Anthony Davis was inactive that game giving Diallo a chance to prove himself. Hopefully it earned him some more minutes.

  1. How many NBA Development League players have made it to the NBA?

An all-time high 135 players with NBA D-League experience were on NBA rosters at the start of the 2016-17 regular season, representing 30 percent of the league.

This group includes both players who were assigned from the NBA to the NBA D-League and players who were called up from the NBA D-League to the NBA at some point in their careers.

At least 30 NBA D-League prospects have been called up to the NBA in each of the past five seasons. A record 68 NBA players were assigned to the NBA D-League an all-time high 321 total times in 2015-16.

I think it would be hard to track how many stick.

@Crimsonorblue22 we ran into him at the Lakewood price chopper. He took a picture with the grandkids and shook hands with everyone. Nice guy, but I really don't know him. Just another player.

Royals • Dec 09, 2016 01:50 AM

@Crimsonorblue22 so far this year we've lost Davis, Volquez, Morales and a # of role players. In return we got an outfielder. Next years free agents are.

Lorenzo Cain
Jason Vargas
Mike Moustakas
Alcides Escobar
Danny Duffy
Jarrod Dyson
Eric Hosmer
Clay Mortensen

The Royals have alot of choices. 3 of them are:
-Play out the season and let them walk and go back to years of sub 500 ball,

-sign a couple and hope to play 500 ball

-sell everything while you can get max value and rebuild.

I'm for the rebuild that's why I said sell Salvy. He's a top 3 player at his position with a cheap contract and would likely bring in 3 top prospects. The Royals have abused Salvy over the last 3 years he's caught like 500 more innings than anyone else and had multiple concussions. By the time we have another team ready to contended he will be used up.

Diallo Demoted to the D-Leauge • Dec 08, 2016 05:59 AM

Diallo’s back with the Pelicans, in the nine games he's played with Austin, he averaged 12.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 23.3 minutes.

Royals • Dec 08, 2016 02:34 AM

@globaljaybird i don't think we have the pieces to make a run. I'm ready to trade everyone Perez and Duffy included. Restock the farm system and have a team ready in 3 or 4 years.

Interesting Line Up: 4 Bigs and Vick • Dec 07, 2016 07:29 PM

Next year's team could look the same, remove Frank insert Newman, Svi for JJ and much better post play.

Royals • Dec 07, 2016 06:00 PM

@globaljaybird looks like a done deal

Question/ comment • Dec 06, 2016 11:16 PM

@BShark not many players left. So I guess Wooten or hope for a transfer or decommit.

Question/ comment • Dec 06, 2016 10:50 PM

@BShark, @BeddieKU23, do we have 1 or 2 scholarships left? If it's only 1 I think it would be reserved for Young or Duvall, over a skinny PF. If we have 2 left Hudy would have a couple of years to work with him before he's needed.

Diallo Demoted to the D-Leauge • Nov 12, 2016 11:38 PM

Assigned not demoted. Still under NBA contract. Since the Pelicans don't have a D League affiliate, he's under a flex assingment. This move is all a out development.

Flex Assignment System:
"Upon receipt of an assignment from an independent NBA team, the NBA D-League will identify any NBA D-League team willing to accept the assigned player.  The assigning independent NBA team will then choose the destination for assignment between those teams.  If no NBA D-League team is willing to accept the assigned player, he will be assigned to one of the hybrid affiliate teams pursuant to a lottery."

Assingment:
An assignment occurs when an NBA team sends a player to its NBA D-League affiliate. That player remains under NBA contract and the assigning NBA team has the exclusive rights to recall that player at any time.
À
Over the past three seasons, an average of 62 NBA players have been assigned to the NBA D-League an average total of 234 times (players with under three years of service can be assigned an unlimited number of times each season).

@AsadZ
If the Royals did nothing their payroll will increase by about 15 million after arbitration and they want to decrease payroll. All I can see is dump everyone and start over. The 8 million for Infante really hurts.

arbitration estimates look with the current committed salaries

Morales to Toronto, three years, $33M.

Just curious what happened? • Nov 10, 2016 02:19 AM

@Texas-Hawk-10 I've been saying that for a few months now. I don't think any of the top talent will sign till they know or have a better idea what Bragg and Graham are going to do. Febuary, March time frame.

As with Ayton you never know what's going to happen. Just a little glimmer of hope for Sexton

Just curious what happened? • Nov 09, 2016 10:29 PM

Sexton is signing tomorrow and it sounds like the coach is making a final push to change his mind. I'm not going to hold my breath, but everyone had Trump counted out last night and Ayton singed here or was it Kentucky. Guess I better check the crystal ball.

The article covers Sexton, Young, Preston,

@brooksmd yankees, Jays and red Sox are also looking at him. Everything I've read about Morales said he loved it here. If it comes down to a bidding war we'll find out how much.

Dillon Gee and Daniel Nava also opted for free agency today, not the loss that Morales is.

Mythbusters: Wilt, the Incredible Stilt! • Nov 07, 2016 12:20 AM

Who Has The Highest Vertical Jump in NBA History?
1. Wilt Chamberlain – 48″

Wilt ChamberlainWilt ‘the Stilt’ Chamberlain was one of the most dominant forces in NBA history. He is the only man to have scored 100 points in a single game. Standing at 7’1” you wouldn’t think someone of that size had a vertical jump of 48 inches.

It isn’t just his jumping prowess that was great he was an exceptional all-around athlete running the 100 yard dash in 10.9 seconds, doing a triple jump of over 50 feet, throwing a shot put over 56 feet and winning the high jump 3 consecutive years in the Big Eight conference in the NCAAs.

If you can find it, there’s an old footage on YouTube of Chamberlain jumping up in a game to block a shot where it looks like his hand reaches the top of the backboard to do so.

  1. Darrell Griffith – 48″

  2. Michael Jordan – 46″
