Former Akron Zip Shammah Scott has been busy.
After his game-winning shot in the MAC Tournament to advance to the NCAA tourney, he wrapped up his college career and now eyes a future in the NBA—perhaps with his hometown team after his invite to #Cavs Summer League training camp.
Eric Mahaffey is going to play in the NBA.
Wouldn’t shock me if he’s one of the biggest breakout players in college basketball. 99th percentile OREB rate, 88th percentile stock rate, 3.5 ORAPM, 2.0 DRAPM, and shot 40% from three. Cincinnati got a steal.
Summer League head coach Nathan Bubes on Enrique Freeman’s opportunity in summer league
“I’m really excited about Enrique because… Enrique in college was like a cheat code at the 5… unfortunately in the NBA he runs out of size so he’s like a 3, 4 and now with the way we’re set up with Joan and Rocco and Trey we get to move him to the 3, 4 and he gets to play the position that will make him an NBA player and that’s awesome for him because he’s been working that way all season”
There were a couple of former Zips at #Cavs Summer League practice today.
Cleveland's own Shammah Scott invited to Summer League Training Camp workouts this week, while Akron's own Romeo Travis was helping the coaching staff.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are signing Enrique Freeman to a two-way deal, league sources told @hoopshype. Freeman returns to Minnesota for a second season.
