That is awesome! Maybe being in the spectrum Saturday night inspired him to try to outshoot Carroll.

He was at the game!? That would have been cool to have him spotlighted, i think the school should try and showcase these guys that have played in the NBA.

I am almost certain I saw him on the video board at one point. I am sure that they will have game nights in a few years where they spotlight each of Sam, Queta, and Bean.

We were a couple of rows away from him, my kids were pretty stoked.

He also stayed after the game and talked to people down on the floor.

He also talked with Scotty G on the post game.

Any word on Sam? I think his 10 day would have expired yesterday. I suppose if he's on the roster for tonight's game he got another 10 day?

It looks like he is done with the Cavs. He only played 4 minutes and 17 seconds during his 10 day. Getting closer to the point where he should just go ball out in Europe.

This aged well...

Haha I'm happy it didn't age well. They only played him 4 minutes total during his 10 day contract, so when I saw that article I wasn't seeing an extension. Glad he is impressing them in practice and hope that carries over to more playing time.

Hopefully he is able to break into the rotation and gets meaningful minutes during their playoff run.

He got 4 minutes of garbage time tonight. Missed his only 3 attempt and 1 foul.

Hopefully the contract has already been signed.

Why wasn't Sam on the active roster tonight for the cavs?

He played for the Charge tonight. Had 20 pts in a gleague game.

Great article about Sam:

https://www.fearthesword.com/2023/3/29/ ... ba-journey

Some G-League updates to distract from the chaos:

Queta's season is over. Averaging 16.8 pts, 8.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.2 turnovers, 1.9 blocks and 0.9 steals, Neemi led Stockton to the best record in the G League, but they bowed out in the conference semifinals last night. He shot 68.3% from the field, over 80% from the foul line and was 1/10 on 3s. He had 18 pts, 9 board and 5 blocks in the playoff game.

Bean finished third in voting for the G League Sportsmanship award and his Memphis Hustle will play their first playoff game at noon eastern (10 mountain) today. Bean's numbers on the year: 10.7 pts, 7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 turnovers, 0.7 blocks and 0.9 steals. Bean shot 47.8% overall, 36.7% (33/90) from 3 and 81.1% at the line.

Sam once again showed up big in a big game, scoring 28 points on 6/13 shooting from 3 in the Charge's first playoff game. He also had 5 assists and 5 boards. For the year, Merrill is shooting over 44% from 3 on nearly 9 attempts per game. The Charge will play their conference semifinal game today at noon eastern/10 mountain on ESPN2.

Tough game for Merrill

Queta finished second in the MVP Race behind a Guard for Chicago. Hopefully he get some real minutes in the NBA next year.

Merrill played 22 minutes tonight for a Cavs team resting all of their starters for their upcoming playoff series vs. the Knicks.

He was a +15 with 6 points on 2 of 6 from 3, adding 4 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal.

I imagine he'll get plenty of minutes Sunday against Charlotte

Yep played 26 minutes with 17 pts on 6-12 shooting. Hopefully he gets some meaningful playoff minutes.

Queta was named to both the all-defensive team and first team

I like the trajectory he is on. He should have a very nice nba career barring injuries.

Thanks. But I thought I was losing my eyesight the last minute or so.

Queta 10 pts going 4-4 tonight.

Queta 12 pts and 7 boards tonight on 6-6 shooting. 13-15 in three preseason games. Not bad.
