Rocky Mountain Revue Rosters are out

Rocky Mountain Revue Rosters

Still nothing for the NBDA team, the Iranians, or the Jazz though.  What's taking so long?

Some notables:

Speedy Claxton.  What's a seven-year player doing here?  He's made $26 million in his career and still has $10 M left on his contract.  See what happens when you don't draft a good PG Atlanta?

Louis Amundson.  On again, off again Jazz summer-leaguer.  He was probably the second best player at last year's Revue behind Millsap.  Don't know why he can't land a solid deal.  He'll be fighting for a spot with GS.  With their team this year, he has a good chance.

Marco Belinelli.  They guy most Jazz fans wanted in last year's draft.  GS took him instead.  Looked like we missed out when he has a huge summer league.  But we didn't do jack in the regular season.

Jaycee Carroll.  Local boy done good.  He has an outside shot at making the NJ sqaud.

Brook Lopez.   The highest pick from the 2008 draft in attendance.

Anthony Randolph.  Another lottery pick.  He seems to be either destined as a steal or a bust.  No middle ground here.

Chris Douglas-Roberts.  Some fans wanted to draft him instead of Koufos

Roger Powell.  The former Utah draftee still trying to find a team.

Al Horford.  He'll be there, but won't see any action in games.

Gerald Green.  Part of the Celtics trade to the Wolves for KG.  I thought he had a lot of upside.  Now he's struggling to gain a roster spot.

Keith McCleoud.  Another former Jazz man.  Didn't play last year in the league.

So, there's no Kevin Durant or any other big name players.  I guess the league wants to keep this going but they're not making any big teams come to the SLC.  It's still great basketball and die-hard Jazz fans needing their fix will be in attendance at the SLC.

I'll update this as other players are added.

Lots of familiar faces?

I recognize the Jazz players (Fesenko, Almond & Koufos), the ex-Ute (Johnson), the 2 Flash-sters (Kruger, Jackson), Kevin Lyde (NBDL and on the Jazz RMR team last year) & Yaroslav Korolev. That’s like 8 of the 17… not even half.

CJ wasn’t going to play… no contract.

The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.
The best NBA team in Utah... no doubts about it!
Playing For Pride. Pirates, Utes, Panthers, and more...
Because, in the end, only one team can "win it all".

Oh...

Hiram Fuller played on the team last year (or the year before… I don’t remember) as well.

I guess that’s “lots of familiar faces”... or at least half.

More than half...

you can’t have a half of 17 number of players.

considering the makeup of most summer league teams

more than half of the faces being “familiar” seemed like “lots” to me. Whatev. I’m excited to see Korolev play.

I'll make it.

Yeah...

I see it know. Some of the names are still hard to recognize… even if we’ve seen them before.

If Hart played

That’d be a half a player, right?

If that...

More like a quarter of a player.

Still nothing up on the RMR page

I’d like to see who’s coming for the NBDL “Ambassadors.” Here’s the link to the Iranian roster. I don’t know how much good that does you anyway.

These two from the Iranian team are interesting

Hamed Haddadi. His Wikipedia entry states that he may try to play for the NBA after the Olympics.

And I remember this guy, just not the name. yput his name in for the 2004 NBA draft but didn’t get selected or signed by any team. He’s huge, 7’ 5” but a quote like this,

Running the court, he has below average mobility, on a similar level to Gheorghe Muresan. He can get up and down the court fairly well, but starting and stopping take time for him.

doesn’t really help your chances of getting in the NBA. Should be something to watch though. Also, some of his Wiki reads like a commercial. He is of course working out with a trainer trying to get ready for the NBA. He’s only 22.

He might be the player I’m looking forward to the most.

So... Yaroslav Korolev

if you look at the RMR rosters linked to above, he’s on the Mavs squad.
But both the Trib & the Deseret News have him on the Jazz squad.

So… which is it?
Or will it be like playground ball when you don’t have enough guys and one guy is always on the team that has the ball?

The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.
