June 20th, 2019
Devin Sweetney
SF – 6’6, 220lbs – Born 23rd October 1987
Capital City Go-Go
As a pro, Sweetney has played in 10 different countries, for 18 different teams, including a training camp stint with the Denver Nuggets in 2015. He had not however played in the G-League since his first professional season, when he was selected in the fourth round of the 2010 D-League Draft by the Tulsa 66ers. The 66ers no longer exist and the league has been renamed …
Michael Orris – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
Michael Orris
PG – 6’3, 190lbs – Born 8th August 1994
Capital City Go-Go
Orris spent some time with both the Fort Wayne Mad Ants (as a returning player; quickly waived when Ben Moore became available) and Capital City Go-Go (as cover for Chris Chiozza’s stint with Team USA), but played only four games and 51 minutes across the two. He is a fringe G-League player who is nonetheless well suited to the plug-in cover role he now seems to …

Oleksandr Kobets
SG – 6’5, 201lbs – Born 15th April 1996
Capital City Go-Go
Kobets began the season with the Go-Go as an allocated player after a one-day training camp contract with the Wizards (who tried to do the same with compatriot and namesake Oleksandr Mishula, but that did not happen for whatever reason). He did not initially join the Go-Go, but was acquired in early November, playing eight minutes over three games before being waived after tearing his ACL …

Darel Poirier
C – 6’10, 230lbs – Born 27th July 1997
Capital City Go-Go
Unrelated to Vincent, Darel Poirier arrived in the G-League from his native France, where he had his foundations in the Centre Fédéral de Basket-ball team, the squad made up of players from the French National Institute of Sport, Expertise, and Performance (INSEP), and so often the starting point for so many of the country’s best. After graduating from INSEP in 2015, Poirier was signed by the …

Pe’Shon Howard
PG – 6’3, 185lbs – Born 10th December 1990
Capital City Go-Go
Five years since the completion of a college career spent at Maryland and USC, Howard has had a strange professional career. For his first season, he signed in the German third division of all things with Weissenhorn then left after only a couple of months, reportedly due to changing his mind about being there. He then went unsigned until 2016 and a short stint with Rayos …
Kellen Dunham – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
Kellen Dunham
SG – 6’4, 205lbs – Born 18th June 1993
Capital City Go-Go
Dunham is about as pure of a shooter as there can be. He is on the court to move about, use screens, spot up then get jump shots away. Anything beyond that is an unexpected bonus.
Playing almost exclusively off the ball, Dunham intrigues purely because of how many points he could potentially give a team without needing to take a single dribble. If he does …

June 20th, 2019
Duje Dukan
PF – 6’10, 220lbs – Born 4th December 1991
Capital City Go-Go
The Dooj was one of the unlikeliest NBA players of a generation when he signed with the Sacramento Kings in the 2015-16 season, a move made even more unlikely by the fact that he managed to survive on the roster for the entire campaign. He had been a marginal player at Wisconsin, not even cracking 1,000 total minutes played in five years with the program, and …

Dikembe Dixon
SF – 6’7, 201lbs – Born 6th September 1996
Capital City Go-Go
Anyone can of course declare for the NBA Draft whenever they like. Particularly those playing in college who are giving away their marketable skill for free due to the stupid archaic nature of NCAA basketball that ascribes all kinds of mythical qualities and puts all kinds of importance on why the athletes should not be paid other than by scholarship, all of which is a conceit …
Mike Davis – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
Mike Davis
PF – 6’9, 225lbs – Born 21st October 1988
Capital City Go-Go
Davis’s 35.4% of possessions used on cuts this past season was by far the highest percentage anywhere in the G-League. The next highest mark was a full 10% less – Roger Moute A Bidias, for what it’s worth – and to anyone who remembers Davis as being the midrange jump shooting specialist of his Illinois days, that is par for the course. Get him the ball …

Quinton Chievous
SG/SF- 6’6, 225lbs – Born 31st December 1992
Capital City Go-Go
Chievous has now spent almost his entire professional career in the G-League, leaving only for very brief stints in Finland and Mexico to top and tail last season. It is a league that suits an athlete such as himself; the G-League plays at a higher pace than quite possibly everywhere else in the world, so anyone who can get up and down the court stands to look …

June 20th, 2019
Isaiah Armwood
PF – 6’9, 215lbs – Born 28th December 1994
Capital City Go-Go
to this season had been a surprise. He barely played in Italy’s Serie A with Trento as a rookie, dropped down to the Italian second division in his second season, dropped further down to the Japanese third division of all places in his third season, and was in Hungary last year, an improving league that attracts a decent calibre of third or fourth tier import, but …
Noah Allen – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
Noah Allen
SF – 6’7, 215lbs – Born 1st February 1995
Capital City Go-Go
Three years at UCLA saw Allen barely leave the bench. He recorded only 71 games, 604 minutes and 84 points in that time, never finding a role, never winning the coaching staff’s confidence, and seemingly always being recruited over. But having graduated in only three years, Allen went to Hawaii and finally established himself, averaging 15.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in 30 …
