On the Pelicans summer league roster...

It's always tough to find stats and context on Euro basketball.
Here are Crawford's numbers :
Europe:

D-League:

(This is a better source, it appears:

He played with Toronto last summer, and was cut early in preseason. No reports of him signing with an NBA team yet this year.
A local cable story from the beginning of the year. I have not watched it.

Also, Good for Sanjay. I hope he dishes out a few bruises and makes some corner threes. Nice of Dell Demps to have given a shot to his son's teammate.

Sanjay got 11 minutes tonight, but didn't score. 3 rebounds. http://www.espn.com/nba-summer-league/boxscore?gameId=400959191&league=nba-summer-las-vegas
Pelicans didn't look very good over all but were only -3 while he was on the court.
Former NU player Geno Carlisle spent 6 games with the Portland Trailblazers during the 2004-05 season.
Thanks, I knew he had a cup of coffee with the Blazers, but couldn't remember when. He was one of my favorites in my early years of NU fandom. I was sad when he transferred, obviously, but still went to AllState Arena to cheer him and Cal to victory over DePaul in the 1999 NIT.
Reggie Hearn is on the Sacramento Kings' summer league roster and scored 13.5 ppg for the Reno team in the NBA developmental league. He is getting closer to making a NBA roster on a 10-day basis like Geno.
I hope Reggie gets a shot. Good player.
The NBA has really done a good job of building the NBDL.
Here's a year-end review:
https://www.google.com/amp/gleague.nba.com/news/nba-dleague-2017-season-records-recap/amp/
My math says 2,700 per game last season, which seems fairly good. Tickets aren't so cheap - the lowest-price on a single-game Hoffman Estates Bulls ticket is $19.

But what percentage of D-League players ever make an NBA roster? I think there's much more money to be made playing in Europe than languishing in the D-League.
It's an interesting decision. Hearn is a call-up and a good week away from making a roster. A west coast team has two wings get hurt and need an emergency fill-in? Reno has a salty 6-5 bundle of energy available. A long shot, but a shot.
Shurna or Crawford or Juice or anyone else cross an ocean and ensure that they won't get their lottery ticket for another year. But their bank accounts are much better off for it.
I'm unclear on the affiliation / player payment structure in the nbdl. In the baseball minor leagues, all players are paid by the big club. Its not clear that the NBDL works precisely that way, but I'm not sure.
That's a personal choice too. Living in a foreign country is not for everyone - language, culture, food, racism can all be issues. If the dream is to play in the NBA, the D League is a decent option.
If Geno had stayed and played with Eschmeyer...
Former NU player Rex Walters played 7 seasons for the Nets, Sixers, and Heat from 1993-2000.
If Rex and his class (who started for Kansas, Rice, BYU, and SLU in the NCAAs) hadn't transferred and played with Rankin and Baldwin and Neloms....
Actually, you look at what talent Foster brought in to NU, and it's actually pretty impressive. Was actually closer than Carmody in that regards.
You certainly are. Just remarking that Foster did bring in sufficient talent to compete. He just wasn't able to retain it.
He just wasn't able to compete. He was not closer to anything than Carmody was. What a stupid comment.
There is no way in which he could possibly compare favorably to Carmody, unless you - national championship-seeker - accept an average of 1.86 conference wins per season.
He was an awful, awful coach at Northwestern. Mentioning him in the same breath is an insult to Carmody.
Dig that record:

I agree. Carmody rescued the program from the depths of futility and made it competitive. He couldn't get us to The Dance but he set the stage for Collins. I appreciate what Carmody did for Northwestern basketball.
