Jock Landale misses out on NBA contract

IIRC correctly

Uh...

Oh, ok.
IIRC correctly there was talk around last year that he would probably have received some kind of NBA offer, except that he was already signed in Europe and missed the cut-off for his NBA-out clause.

Somebody said in the Kay thread that he's now out of contract in Europe.

Surely that would mean he's going to get a serious crack at the NBA?

I think if he comes in and hits a decent amount of his 3 point attempts this year he will get a contract next year. Summer League showed that he has improved but i think a consistent euro season from behind the arc may land him the contract.

"the NBA is as much about the right place at the right time as it is about a player's reputation and opportunity to showcase in front of that coach who sees you fitting his roster."

Yep, this and luck are huge factors in who plays NBA and who doesn't. IMO the bottom 35% of NBA players arent really much better than the next best thousand or so top guys who are playing in the G-League, Europe, Asia and Australia. It just comes down to who is in the right place at the right time and luck.

He is good enough. Will be only 1 more year in Europe I reckon. A bit like Broekhoff...holding out for a FT gig and not a two-way.

Not sure I am buying the lack of athleticism line, the NBA is as much about the right place at the right time as it is about a player's reputation and opportunity to showcase in front of that coach who sees you fitting his roster.

He will be fine, next time they will know better, if the spot opens up I am sure he will fill it!

Jock Landale & Nigel Hayes had an NBA opt-out option in their contract, but didn't sign with NBA team before the deadline of July 15, which means they both will play for Zalgiris Kaunas next season.

Gordie has finally given solid minutes to this guy this year and he has hit the ground running. Hitting outside shots, rebounding, driving to the basket, playing good defense etc.

Anyone think he can take over Sav's position when he retires?
