NLSC Watch

• Jerome Barkhorn "Warlock" - Jazz
  
  • Stats: PPG: 0.0 |RPG: 0.0 |APG: 0.0 |SPG: 0.0 |BPG: 0.0 |FG%: 0.0% |3P%: 0.0% |FT%: 0.0%
  • Overview: The Jazz are barely hanging on to .500 level basketball, and they have yet to unleash their star draft pick. Barkhorn is still rehabbing from Torn Hamstring he suffered in preseason and has to play an NBA game, but when he returns will he help the Jazz get over the hump or will he clash with Devin Harris, who is having a good start to the season so far?
• George Koukoulis - Bulls
  
  • Stats: PPG: 3.5 |RPG: 1.8 |APG: 1.9 |SPG: 0.4 |BPG: 0.0 |FG%: 45.8% |3P%: 28.6% |FT%: 57.9%
  • Overview: One would think the cousin of the GM would be a big favorite in the Bulls lineups, but Koukoulis has been playing backup minutes at the guard positions behind Ben Gordon and Derrick Rose. Koukoulis makes the most of his opportunities on the floor, but hasn't gotten that break to completely unleash just yet. Will the Bulls GM make a move to give his family more playing time?
• Albano Spagnoletti - Spurs
  
  • Stats: PPG: 4.0 |RPG: 1.2 |APG: 0.8 |SPG: 0.0 |BPG: 0.0 |FG%: 55.6% |3P%: 60.0% |FT%: 20.0%
  • Overview: Spagnoletti filled in nicely when Tony Parker was out during preseason and has still proven his game in the NBA during his rookie season. He has not made as much of an impact with Parker back starting, but in the limited minutes Spagnoletti is in, he has been smart, sure, and consistent...very much in true Spurs style.
• Vince Sleepy "Money" - Sixers
  
  • Stats: PPG: 3.9 |RPG: 3.3 |APG: 0.3 |SPG: 0.2 |BPG: 0.7 |FG%: 29.3% |3P%: 31.3% |FT%: 69.2%
  • Overview: Sleepy has been splitting time with Spencer Hawes and Marrees Speights for the Sixers and has shown a lot of promise so far. Sleepy is proving to be a decent big man for the Sixers to develop and rely on in their future. He is struggling on offense, but is making up for it with defense and free throw shooting. The Sixers are still near the bottom of the East, but along with Harrison Barnes and Evan Turner, the Sixers have a lot of potential on their hands.
• Zee Otoo - Wizards - z02
  
  • Stats: PPG: 1.8 |RPG: 1.5 |APG: 0.5 |SPG: 0.3 |BPG: 0.0 |FG%: 34.8% |3P%: 66.7% |FT%: 50.0%
  • Overview: The Wizards are surprising playing great so far and Otoo has played in every game, but they have all be in very limited minutes. Offseason signee Wilson Chandler is taking all the spot light at the Small Forward position, but Otoo hasn't complained about it...yet.
• Justin Jones - Nuggets
  
  • Stats: PPG: 4.2 |RPG: 1.2 |APG: 0.5 |SPG: 0.2 |BPG: 0.3 |FG%: 40.9% |3P%: 33.3% |FT%: 50.0%
  • Overview: The Power Forward position in Denver has been very confusing, but after the trade it might be clearing up. Jones has been honored with the starting position, but is sharing minutes with Clippers draftee JaJuan Johnson. Jones is more of a perimeter player, while Johnson is in the paint. Denver has a nice young core, but they will need to learn to develop them properly.
• Marko Jenjic - Bulls
  
  • Stats: PPG: 4.5 |RPG: 0.9 |APG: 0.6 |SPG: 0.1 |BPG: 0.3 |FG%: 35.7% |3P%: 53.3% |FT%: 50.0%
  • Overview: The only NLSCer to be drafted in the second round is the one getting the most opportunities to develop and play in the NBA. The Bulls are very shallow at the Small Forward position, by starting an young 3rd year player who is being backed up by 2 2nd round rookies. Jenjic is inserted into the lineup very quickly, and his shoot now and ask later attitude has allowed him to be the highest scoring NLSCer so far, but at the cost of being one of the lowest FG% shooters.

Chapter XII: New Player

Street Basketball Game - Unknown Location

The Other Player slowly walks toward the duffel bag...

SR, "I swear you touch that and you'll regret it..."

Other Player, "Yea regret I let you hustle me again!" and he make a quick grab for the duffel bag

SR, "STOP!" as he tries to stop him

BANG

the Other Player runs off with the bag

[..]

Small community hospital

SR opens his eyes and with a groggy feeling looks around, "Oh shit! You're up!"

KJ moans in pain, "uhhh...what happen?"

SR, "Sorry hero...got a little amnesia? You fucking took a bullet for me. That was truly bad ass."

KJ, "yeaa...just protecting a friend, what happen to that other guy? Did he take all you're money?"

SR, "I cops got his description and I told them where to find him, don't trip. Anyways, the doc said you'd be better in a few days..so what were you going to ask me about? Before all this shit happened?"

KJ, "Huh? oh...hand me my iPhone"

KJ slowly goes through his apps, "Here you go, you can read this..."

SR, "Dude just give me the short version, what's it about?"

KJ, "It's an NBA contract...I can forward it to your agent. It says that I want you to be my backup shooting guard, for the Clippers. I can only get you a 1 year deal at the minimum right now cause of the cap. But I know we can come to an agreement to future contracts during the off season. And maybe I can try to get you some signing bonus...and call it as part of your insurance of getting your money taken earlier today."

SR, "Man..you know I don't have an agent! You crazy man...but really. I trust you. If you're going to take a bullet for me, whatever shit we had in the past. Consider it squashed. You got you're self a new backup!"

SR shakes his hands and KJ yells in pain

SR, "Oops, sorry I forgot"

KJ, "Yea, just sign here and the paper work will be finalized. Just show up at our training facility at Playa Vista. Coach Del Negro will be waiting for you. You will need to run some practices before you can get on the floor. Any trouble just call me."

SR, "Alright! Thanks man."

[..]

At a nicer hospital in Santa Monica, CA

KJ's phone rings...its Vinny Del Negro

KJ, "What's up Vin?"

VDN, "Hey man, that recruit you brought me..."

KJ, "Yea?"

VDN, "I can see he's got the skills...but he is stubborn as hell! I don't know if I can coach him, let alone if he is ready for a real NBA game."

KJ, "Shit..."

VDN, "So what are we going to do? I don't want him to drag down the rest of the team..."

KJ quickly sends a text message to SR..."GET YOU'RE SHIT TOGETHER!"

VDN, "Hello?"

KJ, "Yea Vin...I'm here. Look he's a good kid, just hasn't always been in the right place. I will try to talk to him...but during the game..it's you're call if you want to play him..."

[..]

CLIPPERS GAMBLE ON AN UNKNOWN

Report: The Clippers have reported signing an undrafted rookie, named Ray Cer, late last evening. There is not much known about him except that he was scouted by Clippers GM KidJustin at a street basketball tournament. Just as any street basketball player, Cer's skills are more on the flashy side, which may or may not help him in a real NBA game. A combination of superb quickness, tricky ball handling, and sly passing will help make him a very interesting backup guard for the current run-and-gun Clippers. On offense, Cer is a dead-eye and clutch 3 Point shooter as well as an electrifying high flyer, despite standing only 6'3".

The Clippers have been getting by with a rejuvenated Ricky Davis as the backup shooting guard and will continue to do so for now until they feel Ray Cer is ready to make the transition. After a quick meeting in Los Angeles, Cer was immediately flown to Fort Wayne, Indiana where he met up with the Clippers D-League team affiliate the Bakersfield Jam for their first game of the season. Sources say Cer was not happy with the idea, but reluctantly agreed if he was to be immediately put into the starting lineup. The Bakersfield Jam had a terrible season last year, winning only 1 game, and even with the debut of Ray Cer, the Jam once again lost. The only bright spot of the game was Ray Cer's amazing stat line: 57 points, 5 rebounds, 15 assists, 2 steals. He shot 46% from the field, hit 5 3PTers and made all 10 of his free throws. The only thing against Cer was his 5 fouls, which kept him out of the game in the 3Q, where the Mad Ants made their comeback that was too much for Cer to bring back on his own.

In other news, Clippers GM KidJustin has been reported to be admitted into a hospital in Santa Monica, CA. Source say he is healthy and recovering, but the reason why he is at the hospital is as mysterious as the Clippers newly signed rookie.

[Warlock95]

Play him! He looks like he could help your team. Outside shooter, dunker, great passer, the works. Wonder what his overall rating will be in the NBA, though.

[Axel The Great]

Lol, "Get your shit together". Would be very delightful to receive a text message like that.

I think you should play Speed Ray Cer (so Option A). Try him for a few games just to see how he does, no matter how much of a douchebag he is.

[KidJustin]

Warlock95, let's just say ur player is still the highest rated NLSCer he just needs to get his butt on the floor! LOL it looks like another week or two

Axel., i completely LOLd at your entire comment

[Warlock95]

KidJustin, I was referring to Speed Ray Cer.

[KidJustin]

KidJustin, I was referring to Speed Ray Cer.

i was referring to your comment "Wonder what his overall rating will be in the NBA, though."

meaning that whatever his overall is....ur NLSCer is still higher

NOVEMBER PLAYERS OF THE MONTH



The league has announced that Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder for the West and Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls for the East have been awarded the first Player of the Month award for this season. Rose and Durant are number 1 and number 2 in the league in scoring, which is what is keep their teams in the playoff hunt. Surprisingly both of their teams are being shadowed by breakout teams lead by some rookies...more on that below.



As for the rookies, the award was handed out to Jared Sullinger of the Memphis Grizzlies for the West and Derrick Williams of the Toronto Raptors for the East. Sullinger has been a big part in the Grizzlies turn around as they are currently at the top of their division. But the more amazing turn around is with Williams, the Raptors second leading scorer and has helped the Raptors go from a bottom dweller team to one that is rivaling the Boston Celtics in the East.

The Clippers held on to win another close game behind two 30+ games from stars Blake Griffin and Eric Gordon. The Cavaliers did make their comeback in the second half behind bench player Ramon Sessions. Blake Griffin kept on powering through while Eric Gordon started scoring at will. Then with the came close with only seconds left, Ramon Sessions drove in the lane to try to tie the game, but Blake Griffin came up with a major defensive block to get the ball back and secure the win.

TWO WEST POWERHOUSES MAKE TRADES



Dec. 2, 2011 - San Antonio, TX: Owner of the SAN ANTONIO SPURS, Thierry Thirieux, just announced that he has acquired LOS ANGELES LAKERS Lamar Odom.

Lamar Odom has been greatly unhappy with the Lakers organization as he feels that he should be starting. The current front court starters for the Lakers are Richard Jefferson, Paul Gasol, and Andrew Bynum, leaving Odom as the odd man out. Coach Phil Jackson has said that Odom is a valuable talent on the court, but when he is pouting he will completely destruct the team chemistry. This was completely evident in last night's loss to the CHICAGO BULLS, when Lamar Odom was the leading scorer, but that was only because he hogged the ball away from his teammates. Teammate Kobe Bryant only scored 14 points in that game and was later quoted, "I know he wants out, we want him out...but if he wants to just put up numbers to make himself look good when free agency hits, he better do it on his own time and not **** around with my team."

Reports say that Thierry was watching the game to cheer on his friend, George Koukoulis (player), and when he saw this drama, he knew he needed to act fast. He called up Lakers Co-GM Julian Martin and together they worked out a deal to send Lamar Odom and Devin Ebanks to the Spurs for Drew Gooden, Matt Bonner, and next years 1st Round Draft Pick. With the injury to DeJuan Blair, the Spurs will have a strong starter in Odom, who wants to start and also rid themselves of Gooden's contract. Julian Martin was quoted after the trade, "It's better to have two strong backup bigs than a single o-dumb skinny backup. Plus having the Spurs pick was key....They will be a lottery team next year anyways."



In other news, the SAN ANTONIO SPURS also swapped rookie SFs Elias Harris and Chandler Parsons with PF Gani Lawal of the PHOENIX SUNS. The teams always swapped first round picks this year. The Spurs had too many SF, especially after the acquisition of Devin Ebanks and needed a back up PF until DeJuan Blair is healthy again.

The SAN ANTONIO SPURS don't play again until Monday, which is enough time to get all the new players ready in time for their evening game against the MILWAUKEE BUCKS. While LOS ANGELES LAKERS don't play for another week, they will have a lot of quite relaxation time now that Odom is gone for good.



Dec. 6, 2011 - Los Angeles, CA: The LOS ANGELES LAKERS held a press conference of their own, but it did not involve the departed Lamar Odom, instead they have announced the organization is welcoming Tayshaun Prince and Jeff Foster to the team in a trade that sent Steve Blake, rookie Jacob Pullen, and a future second round draft pick to the GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS.

Prince was signed by the Warriors early in the season after the veteran did not receive a single offer during the offseason. The Warriors signed Prince simply because he was surprisingly still available and have found little use of him since they are fully invested in Dorell Wright and star rookie Perry Jones, along with David Lee in the back court. Prince originally agreed to sign with the Warriors because it was close to his hometown of Compton, CA, this trade with the Los Angeles Lakers obviously makes things a lot better for him. Prince will join fellow veterans Andre Miller and Allen Iverson in hopes to chase a ring along side Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.

Lakers Co-GM Julian Martin said, "We are very happy to finally have a talented, versatile forward that is a team player. Someone that is smart, and not o-dumb."
