The 15th spot

[Mack North]

Deal with it.

[Chr1s1anL]

I would say it's between him and JuJu for the last spot.

[jrdyck]

There's a solid amount of video on him if you go through the Afrobasket highlights on YouTube.

0:16 - nice drive for the lay-in
0:59 - outlet pass, which seems to impress the commentators
1:08 - pull-up 3

I would have thought after MU's africa trip he'd invite someone from his Africa campaign

Massai always has to give an African a shot. He'll find another next for training camp as well.

Looks like he has a great 3point shot and is a decent FT shooter. Seems like a 3 point scoring threat to possibly bring off the bench.

yeah i don't know why we invited another shooting guard. If JV gets injured again the season is over.

You're talking as if this season is actually going to mean something..It's quite obvious this year is a "write-off". We aren't set-up to be any sort-of competition this year.So, not too sure what you're worried about other than an injury being a set-back for Valanciunas individually.

[caccia]

If JV gets injured again the season is over.

The backup plan has to be starting Amir Johnson at center and Hansbrough at power forward. I expect to see this combination tried out early in the season, for small ball. Those two guys really get after it.

As for Morais, I never heard of the guy, but it's fun to root for the underdog. He's from Angola, and it does not get any more "underdog" than that. But apparently, he has led his team to the World Championships.

I dont speak Portuguese, but i am fluent in Spanish, and from what i was able to understand, its a non-garanteed contract that will depend on training camp and pre-season games.

If that's the case, there is no way he is making the roster.
