Summers Ready for Change of Scenery in New Jersey

PrintAll of the players rumored to be headed to the Nets, all but one is a veteran of at least five years. That one exception is DaJuan Summers, a 6'8" small forward from Georgetown --and Carmelo Anthony's old neighborhood in Baltimore.
The smooth shooting 22-year-old has been sparingly used, but is also stuck behind Charlie Villanueva, Tracy McGrady, etc. Last season, he was also stuck behind Jonas Jerebko, like him a small forward. When Jerebko went down with a season-ending injury, Summers was expected to step up. He has barely played but has shown he can score. In the Pistons' 111-108 win over the Hornets last month, he scored eight points in seven minutes.
And unlike some (most?) players on the list of 16, Summers isn't opposed to being traded."I'm just trying to be ready and prepared," Summers said. "I'm trying to get my mind wrapped around it actually happening, even if it doesn't."

he will make losing D.James a lot easier i suppose
they seem like similar players
D James with more talent
James is one of the best rebounding SFs in terms of rebound rate, although he doesn’t have a large sample size yet
Let’s not get mistaken, this guy isn’t an unknown 2nd round pick for nothing
Outlaw would be much better served getting minutes at PF
Especially when the trade as it is would deplete our big men
+1
That’s where he’ll HAVE TO get most of his minutes.

James is better than Outlaw. He took the starting SF job away from Outlol before he got injured.

hope the kid gets some time
i think everyone’ll have a shot at the rotation given how many guys would be moving
I like this guy. I think he’s a better Damion James.

Based on what? He's hardly played
Damion James has a rebound rate of 13.4%
The only SFs above him are Steve Novak, who has only played 2 mins a game; Dominic McGuire, Ronald Dupree who only plays 4 mins a game, Jeremy Evans who only plays 6 minutes a game.
So Dominic McGuire is the only really viable candidate to top D James as the best rebounding SF in the league.
Although James has only played 17 games and playing 13 minutes a game, it’s still not like he’s only gotten 2 minutes a game like other guys
That would be the PERFECT scenario.....................
That’s why it WON’T happen.

I’ll hate to see James go also but from the sound if it, he can score better than James. That’s this team’s achilles. Seems like he has the right attitude. I also think he wants to come closer to home like Melo.

I'd love to see this guy here on the day we verse the pistons
Highly unlikely, but if he does good then outlaw can get off the starting lineup and be on the bench :D
Our future goes from Favors to this guy. Sign me up!
I am going to turn this team around 360 Degrees- Jason Kidd
