Green played PG at Florida, though he was more of a scoring point.

Mario Austin is coming to summer league. I wouldn't mind him making the team as our 3rd string PF.
On the list above I like Julius Hodge. He won't ever be a starter but I think he could provide some depth at SG. Let's hope that DeMarcus Nelson has improved significantly from last year or that Josh Shipp comes out and shows he deserves a roster spot. More than likely we'll be extending offers to Linton Johnson III and Nelson again. I could also see Augustine getting an offer. At least Tyrus didn't have to go again. It will be interesting to see what kind of stats Taj & JJ put up as the focal points of our summer league team. |

That should be a pretty competitive summer league team. I like the signing of Julius Hodge (former McDonald's All-American and NC St star), but at this point in his career it would be hard to imagine him really doing much. Could be a solid 12th/13th man. And I'm happy to see Augustine get a spot. I always liked him a lot at Illinois.
Starting lineup? Roberson/Shipp Nelson Hodge Johnson Gibson |

And here i thought James Augustine dropped off the basketball map forever
I really hope we offer Roberson again. He's a team guy.... was always the first one up off the bench congratulating and hi-fiving everyone. |
