Looks like salaries are really low in Argentina - best U.S. players only make $5,000 - $8,000/month for 7 month season but cost of living is really low too so while he may not be rich, hopefully he will enjoy the experience and take in some Argentine culture.

US dollars right? If so they'll be pretty well off. I've met tons of Argentinians and their economy is in crisis right now. The dollar is worth a LOT.

Yea, the USD is worth like 42 pesos right now. I don't know what things cost over there, but I would assume $5,000/month would be a solid living over there.

Malik Dunbar is on the Warriors Summer League roster.
First game is Monday vs the Kings and Bryce Brown.
Wonder if it'll be streaming anywhere, I'd like to watch that.

NBATV may carry it... they usually show a good bit of summer league games.

Shariffe has a new HS teammate in elite forward Dylan Cardwell. Interestingly, he’s the nephew of Rodney Garner’s wife.

I liked Cardwell when he came up a few months ago . I think he moves pretty well for a guy his height

Pearl fires a shot at SEC basketball coaches as he praises Okeke
quote:
AUBURN, Alabama--Bruce Pearl used the opportunity of the Southeastern Conference’s annual summer media conference call to praise former Tiger standout Chuma Okekewhile getting in another dig at last year’s SEC coaches who snubbed the Auburn forward in voting for the league’s all-star teams.
Okeke was selected by the Orlando Magic with the 16th pick in the first round of the 2019 NBA Draft despite being in the recovery stage after having ACL surgery following Auburn’s win over North Carolina in the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
“He is one of the best I have ever coached,” Pearl said about Okeke, who was named to the 2019 NCAA Midwest Regional All-Tournament Team after averaging 15.0 points, seven rebounds, three steals, 2.3 assists in NCAA Tournament games helping the Tigers advance to the Final Four.
quote:
“He has great instincts,” Auburn’s coach said. “He was very much an underrated defender. I thought he was the best defender in our league last year.
“He can guard anybody,” Pearl declared. “He can move his feet and challenge shots, and when I say guard anybody I mean one (point guard) through five (center). That is a rare talent, one we tried to take advantage of and I know they will rely on at the next level in the NBA.
quote:
“He became a great three-point shooter and scored with his back to the basket as we tried to roll him down and mismatch him on teams that switched on us,” Pearl added. “He was an unselfish player. He just did what needed to be done.
“He never worried about his own stats, he never worried about his own numbers, the only thing he cared about was being a great teammate and helping his team win. That is all going to make him a great pro.”
quote:
With Okeke in the starting lineup for every game except the victory over Kentucky in the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament and Final Four loss to Virginia, the Tigers finished 30-10 overall and won the SEC Tournament championship.
“Chuma averaged 13 points and seven rebounds,” Pearl said. “He was not first team All-SEC. He was not second team All-SEC. He was not on the All-Defensive Team in the SEC, but he got drafted 16th. That should tell you a lot.”

Just a reminder Bryce Brown and Malik Dunbar will be playing against each other tonight at 11 ET on NBA TV
Posted on 7/1/19 at 3:43 pm to jt33
Very excited about that. I think Bryce will get good playing time but not sure about Malik
Posted on 7/1/19 at 3:58 pm to auburnnyc94
I truly have no idea lol. I just looked at the Warriors and Kings summer league rosters, but it's impossible to tell anything from that other than Bryce and Malik both have a lot of competition at their spot.
Posted on 7/1/19 at 10:37 pm to jt33
Neither of them have seen the court in 1st qtr
Posted on 7/2/19 at 1:21 am to auburnnyc94
Neither of them got any playing time lol. Hopefully it was just because they haven't been with the teams long. Most of the guys tonight had some NBA experience already.
