He's gonna get picked up if he continues playing like this. Contrary to popular belief, it's not the scoring that's impressive, although that's a plus. He gets after it on defense. Lakers gotta get on it once Calderon is out.

Nwaba would be a nice pick-up. If not I hope he gets a camp invite.

Wonder if the Lakers will take a flyer on a D-League guy with their open roster spot.

I've been wanting to see Nwaba signed for a while! Excited! Even if he's not quite ready it's a good call-up. Hope he plays on the summer league team

All I can say is phew... he seriously risked getting picked up by another team - and I would have cursed the Lakers for not evaluating him.

Nwaba has that Beverly-esque grittiness on the defensive end. He's going to hold people accountable.

Hops. Some fun dunks. More of a finisher at the rim than a shooter. Chase down blocks. Active, hustles. He could carve out a niche in the future if he can play some good defense on the perimeter.

Averaging 13.7 PPG, 7 REB, 1.1 AST, 1.4 STL, 1.2 BLK as a 6'4" guard.

Agreed, I mean we're giving a guy a 10-day and you hope he finds a role in the NBA like that, but I've been following him and I'm pretty excited about giving a shot to a player with his type of grit. Again would love to see him in summer league too.

Ranks second in TPA: https://twitter.com/NBA_Math/status/836428357348773888

Briante Weber just signed with Hornets, so Nwaba technically left the d-league as first in TPA.

D-Fenders Acquire First Round Pick, Rights To Elliot Williams In Trade

EL SEGUNDO – The Los Angeles D-Fenders have acquired a 2017 first round draft pick and the returning player rights to Elliot Williams from the Santa Cruz Warriors in a three-team trade, it was announced today by General Manager Nick Mazzella.

As a part of the transaction, Santa Cruz received the returning player rights to Jabari Brown from the D-Fenders, in addition to a 2017 fourth round draft pick from Northern Arizona. The Suns received Santa Cruz’s returning player rights to Kevin Jones in the deal.

Williams (6-5, 178) has appeared in 109 NBA games throughout his seven-year professional career, averaging 4.9 points and 1.5 rebounds while shooting 42.1 percent from the field with Portland, Philadelphia, Utah, New Orleans and Memphis. A two-time NBA D-League All-Star and winner of the league’s inaugural Finals MVP award in 2015, Williams owns averages of 24.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 51 games in the NBA’s minor league. He most recently played for Panathinaikos in Greece.
