Armor To Provide Camp Invitees

by Net Income on Dec 4, 2011 9:30 PM EST in Springfield Armor

A Springfield Armor fan site reports that two of the team's players, JamesOn Curry and Jeff Foote, are likely to be called up to train with the Nets. Neil Donah of The Steal Bottom suggests that the Nets have already have been in touch with the Armor about the call-ups. The Nets normally have three or four non-roster players in camp.

Curry is a 6'4" shooting guard who spent four days with the Clippers last season. He's averaging 18.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg and 5.0 apg but shooting less than 40%. Foote, a 7-footer, is averaging 16.0 and 9.5. Bob MacKinnon, the Armor's coach, said Foote has NBA potential. Another possibility is Dennis Horner, a 6'9" stretch forward who's averaging 15.0 and 7.7. Horner is the youngest of the three at 23.

If the Nets don't call up Foote, the Trail Blazers may.

Horner

Can really shoot. Wouldn’t mind having him on the roster.

Jeff Foote is 7'?

Let’s throw 17-19 million per year for him.
Seven footers are so rare!

he is unproven

and I’m sorry, I don’t get the concern about Mikhail Prokhorov’s fortune.

The new CBA permits rich owners to keep signing players as long as they are willing and able to pay it. Prokhorov is worth, according to some, as much as $25 billion.

Would be a good idea to sign him for the NEts.

Jeff Foote

Would be an immediate upgrade over Johan Petro. He has a true back to the basket game, the length to get his shot, and great awareness. He may even actually provide the Nets roster with a center who can pass out of the post.

I think Foote’s not in the league right now because people assume he’s a big, slow white stiff, but I think he has a great basketball IQ.
