Corey Henderson SG - 6'5, 190lbs - Born 1st August 1995 Austin Spurs Henderson's first professional season started with a spot on the Austin roster for training camp via a local tryout, but was waived early when Nick Johnson became available to return. It appears as though he…
Jeff Coby PF - 6'8, 227lbs - Born 4th February 1994 Austin Spurs Beginning his second professional season with an unexpected training camp contract from New York - admittedly lasting only seven days before being waived - Coby managed only one day longer than that with the Knicks’…
Demetri McCamey PG - 6'3, 205lbs - Born 21st February 1989 Austin Spurs McCamey has spent three of the past four seasons with the Spurs now, yet the player he was as a senior at Illinois seems to be a thing of the past. The McCamey of back…

Josh Huestis SF/PF - 6'7, 230lbs - Born 19th December 1991 Austin Spurs Coming out of college, although he had scored 11.2 points per game as a senior, Huestis had yet to establish what kind of offensive player he was. Sometimes he played in the post, sometimes he…
John Holland SG/SF - 6'5, 205lbs - Born 6th November 1988 Austin Spurs Holland initially began this past season on the second year of the two-way contract with which he began the 2017-18 campaign, but was waived by the Cleveland Cavaliers in favour of Andrew Harrison. When Harrison…
Jordan Green SG - 6'5, 191lbs - Born 5th May 1993 Austin Spurs Since leaving the Texas A&M basketball team in 2015, Green has a spotty CV, barely playing save for a brief local tryout spot with the Erie BayHawks over his first two professional campaigns, before making…
Amida Brimah C - 6'10, 230lbs - Born 11th February 1994 Austin Spurs After four years at UConn, the book on Brimah was written a long time ago. Long, athletic shot blocker, looks smooth, limited offensively, prone to fouling. Given the prolific nature of his shot blocking ability,…
Devon Bookert PG - 6'3, 195lbs - Born 27th January 1993 Austin Spurs In the three years since he graduated from Florida State, Bookert has spent two years on the cusp of the G-League, some time in the Czech Republic and one year unsigned. Twice he has been…
Dejuan Blair PF/C - 6'8, 270lbs - Born 22nd April 1989 Austin Spurs Three years removed from his last stint in the NBA, and the veteran Blair is still trying to get back in it. Blair has had short G-League stints in two of the last three seasons,…

Evan Taylor SG - 6'5, 204lbs - Born 11th April 1996 Agua Caliente Clippers There is always plenty of room in the college game for the defensive specialist who rarely scores. Be it at point guard, on the wing or in the frontcourt, it is a fairly normal…
Desi Rodriguez SF/PF - 6'6, 240lbs - Born 23rd March 1996 Agua Caliente Clippers 6’6 and 240lbs are not the usual sort of measurements you will see at this level. But then, Desi Rodriguez is not the usual sort of player. A favourable interpretation of his skill set…
Tyler Roberson PF - 6'9, 227lbs - Born 27th November 1994 Agua Caliente Clippers Roberson rejoined the Clippers in January after having initially moved to Greece to begin the season, catching on with defending Basketball Champions League champions AEK Athens.

Marc Loving SF/PF - 6'8, 220lbs - Born 16th September 1994 Agua Caliente Clippers Loving has an enviable physical profile. Standing 6’8 with very long arms, he has a long languid stride, leaping ability and some straight-line speed, looking every inch the prototype NBA forward when measured solely…
Manu Lecomte PG - 5'11, 175lbs - Born 16th August 1995 Agua Caliente Clippers In Lecomte’s first professional season - one which subsequently saw him sign with Spanish team Murcia after the G-League season ended - Lecomte showed the same package of offensive skills he had for two…

Brandon Fields PG/SG - 6'4, 195lbs - Born 13th August 1988 Agua Caliente Clippers After three years away, Fields came back to the G-League this season, perhaps looking for some stability in a professional career that has thus far taken him to about 176 different countries (give or…
Anthony Bennett PF - 6'8, 235lbs - Born 14th March 1993 Agua Caliente Clippers This may have been the year that Anthony Bennett finally became the player he could always have been. Drafted on account of his perceived combination of size and perimeter skill, Bennett has over the…
Michael Bethea Jr SG/SF - 6'6, 185lbs - Born 22nd January 1995 Grand Rapids Drive Bethea's circuitous route to the pros included a year at Grambling State, who had gone winless over Division 1 competition in two of the three previous seasons. On a team needing any help…
