Here's a nice interview I found with Jemison. I really hope he shows well in summer league and earns a 2 way contract.

Yeah I think we're all on the same page with Jemison. I just hope they lock him up before he draws too much attention.

Interesting looking player.

I hope one of these guys steps up and we can get a good developmental player.

I was watching video on him. It looks like he has the tools. I'm not sure why an NBA team didn't take interest.

This is from Wikipedia:

On July 15, 2022, Flagg signed his first professional contract with Greek club Lavrio.[7] In 21 league games, he averaged 14.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists, playing around 33 minutes per contest.

Yeah the big red flag is him only shooting 44% from the FT line. 35% from 3 though.

This is a concern. He didn't shoot free throws well in college, either.

I can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone improve free-throw makes. They go through an occasional streak but you either have rhythm or not…

By the way rhythm has no vowel, weird:)

I've always found this to be true.

"Y" counts as a vowel IIRC.

AEIOU and sometimes Y. BTW, did you know that guilty feet have got no rhythm?

Flagg or Jemison need a two way. If have your fifteenth guy's weak spot as free throws, I can think of a lot worse things. These guys, I am both looking to how they defend. That's what we need, a big guy who can body up the bigger centers we will play.

Suns had all those years in summer league with top picks going and they were terrible. This team could win.

Louis Olinde is one of the podcast guys favorites, German Forward, supposedly playing in second toughest league outside NBA. Supposedly really impressive numbers in Euro League, 6' 9" wing.
