There really hasn’t been a lot happening in the minor league basketball world since the Austin Toros won the NBA Development League championship. Things should start picking up shortly, however, as teams (and the D-League itself) looks to build out their roster for the NBA Summer League season.

The New Jersey Brooklyn Nets are the first team to hold a public free agent workout and, as a result, they were able to bring in some pretty good names. Maybe not "good" in a sense of them still having excellent basketball abilities, but rather "good" in the sense that they were able to wrangle up quite a few names that are recognizable — especially to those reading Ridiculous Upside.

 

It’s good to see guys like Seth Tarver, Delroy James and Stef Hannah getting looks considering they weren’t considered among the standout players in the D-League this year (though Tarver and James are both really interesting NBA options if they’re able to keep improving).

Aside from that, I’m personally a fan of Jeff Foote, Summer League standout Bobby Brown, Edwin Ubiles and hope that someday Al Thornton can reclaim some potential. Oh, and if anyone was wondering how Adam Morrison is doing, the fine folks at Ball Don’t Lie took a gander.

For more on the Nets workouts, stay tuned to Nets Daily.

Bobby Brown has played good 10 to 12 minutes as a backup in the stops he has been..But he cant seem to stick anywhere…

I’ll love to see Hansbrough get an invite to someone’s training camp..He’s not that athletic,but he’s tough and a good shooter..

Jeffe Foot showed he can play in this league when he was at New Orleans earlier this season..I can see him helping a team as the 3rd center…

Have so many guards I have a feeling theyre only looking at guys like Hilton Armstrong, Harrison and Foote. Hilton or Harrison wouldnt be such a bad pick up if you ask me, definitely better than Johan Petro.

 I just looked it up he was shooting 56% on 2 point field goals and 33% on threes while averaging 20.7 points 5 rebounds and 3 assists.http://www.eurobasket.com/player.asp?Cntry=ISR&PlayerID=155281

I think that he could eventually make it in the NBA. He was supposed to be good, but he left college after 2 years and wet undrafted. He is only 22 years old.
