Welcome Austin Ball

[HoopsAdmin]

Watched the rest of the game (Capital All-stars won by 7 and lead almost the whole game) but Ball didn't get much time. The announcer even mentioned in the 3d quarter that Ball was one of the better shooters but hadn't even taken a shot. Indeed, while he was in the game a few times (5 man rotations) I only remember him touching the ball once. 2 hrs that I'll never get back---I regret that the game was televised.

Thanks for taking one for the team!

You're welcome! Probably not as painful an experience as I made it out to be. But the fact that Ball barely got time was made even more frustrating with the tv coverage being more focused on promoting than reporting the game. Talking about the "great crowd" when it looked like it was sparsely attended.

And only mentioning briefly the "legal issues" that Petey Williams (star of the US National team) is facing. Had to look up to find that he's out on bond for having fired a shot into another vehicle. Memphis is awaiting the outcome of that trial to see if they will back out of their scholarship commitment to him.

Think he fired multiple shots into a car…some kind of dispute. Not sure he goes directly to Memphis.

I’m pretty sure that’s one of the prerequisites to get into Memphis.

Mikey Williams maybe?

Would seem like a logical replacement for Darius Miles and Brandon Miller at Bama

Thanks for reporting back and mentioning about the game. In person I remember it being essentially an allstar game with barely any defense.

At least back in 2017, Mar got some more playing time and had a good block in transition. He may have even hit a three pointer. It sucks that Ball couldn't even get more than 2 shots and a few minutes. I also remember the crowd not exactly being so full and mostly it being a lot of coaches and family members.
