Nyets waive Alize Johnson

He would be a good candidate for the 20th camp invite

Could see him beating out Vildoza Knox and possibly Bacon for a situational roster spot

A smallish PF at 6'7" who does not seem to have the upside of Knox.

No, unless they want to have 300 centers.

Unless you count Nick Claxon as a center they have Aldridge and the rookie Sharpe aside from Okafor

They dumped Jordan

I think they may keep Okafor to accentuate their defensive profile

Edit

I forgot about Militinov a euro seven footer

It may be a competitive camp

Claxton was pretty damn impressive as a rookie.  Makes the loss of Allen less painful, if at all. 

Think Nyets go with Blacke Griffin as small ball center/PF.  Likewise Aldridge. 

After which Claxton and Okafor at the 5.  And the rook, though less pressure for him to produce immediately. 

Okafor's defense has always been suspect, and what made him such as well travelled fellow.  Of late, he got his conditioning more together.  Vulnerable on D, but he could always, ALWAYS score in the blocks. 

Nyets have great depth, but the consensus is that the one cat they lost to free agency that they cannot/have not replaced is Jeff Green.  Perhaps Blake Griffin in spots, as he has three point range, though that is not his primary thing.

Former 8th pick and the New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina could be back playing in Europe. On Saturday, the head coach of Virtus Bologna, Sergio Scariolo, revealed that Nico Mannion will miss the beginning of the season and that the club is looking for a replacement. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport and La Repubblica, Ntilikina is one of the Virtus

Nyets are going to need KD to stay healthy and be their stopper

They have no one else capable of taking on the role

I came to The Wire late, and didn't know much about the show, but in a superb cast with so many memorable characters, he stood out. He owned Omar, the whistling gangster Robin Hood with heart and a code. He was mesmerizing.

Omar's coming.

Omar's gone.

RIP Michael

Tough news about Williams.

An incredible artist, strong and memorable in every role.

Both are guys to have big nights against though they each might individually outscore you
