Wow, the pride of the MWC playing almost professional basketball right here in our back yard. With all the smack back and forth from BYU and Yewt fans about Cummard and Nevill not getting drafting I think it's appropriate that they're playing on the same semi-professional team. It pretty much kills any smack talk angle doesn't it?
The D-League is not semi-pro. They are minor league professional athletes who hope to use the Flash as a stepping stone to the NBA.
They need one for the NFL...probably the UFL could be a stepping stone.....Utah should have a minor league football team if they can't get a NFL one...
Couple of EuroLeage washouts.
If ya can't make it in Europe, the chances of ever making the NBA by playing NBDL are slim and none and none just left the building.
NBDL is essentially Arena League for Basketball, where few players ever get called up, and even fewer end up playing or ever making a difference on an NBA roster.
How far the mighty have fallen. NBDL players make just more than McDonald's employees and not quite as much as Lagoon employees. All the smack talk about pumping gas may just turn out to be prophetic for these 2 former all-MWC players.
