Walter Lemon - Windy City Bulls

On November 29th, the Boston Celtics surprised some by releasing Walt Lemon Jr., whom the team had on a two-way deal. That move was shocking due to Lemon shining during his time with the Maine Red Claws, Boston’s G League affiliate, as he averaged 23.5 points, 5.6 assists, 4.2 assists and a league-high 2.7 steals on 51% from the field and 35% from beyond the arc on 4.3 attempts per game.

Fortunately, Lemon didn’t have to wait long to play basketball again as he debuted with the Windy City Bulls on December 12th, just three days after the team acquired his G League rights in a deal with the Mad Ants where they sent the rights of Alex Hamilton and a 1st round pick in the 2019 NBA G League Draft. Although he necessarily hasn’t had an opportunity to get his feet wet with Windy City, Lemon will still enter the G League Winter Showcase as a must-watch prospect due to his facilitating and tremendous ability to get to the rim.

James Young - Wisconsin Herd

For the 2nd straight season, James Young has both stood out as one of the G League’s best scorers and one of the lone bright spots on a floundering Herd team. In 14 games with the team, he’s currently averaging 19.9 points, 6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals on 44% from the field and 44% from beyond the arc on 7 attempts per game. Alongside those great base stats, Young’s impact is evident by how the Herd are a little more than five points per 100 possessions better when he’s on the court (100.1 points per 100) compared to when he’s on the sidelines (94.9 points per 100).

Young’s ability to shine as a fantastic perimeter threat that can also drive to the rim allows him to be a viable candidate for a 10-day contract when that opens up on January 5th.

Lots of G League hyperbole in those reports. Remember, the accolades those players get are based in comparison to other G League players and not NBA players.

I was never a fan of having a Globetrotter on the team.

Give perk a 10 day. We need his toughness and yelling from the bench

why not just have M.L. Carr suit up again?
