NBA and G League veteran Tre Scott is headed overseas for the 2022/23 season, having signed with Fos Provence Basket, the French team announced in a press release.
Scott, who went undrafted out of Cincinnati in 2020, has spent most of his first two professional seasons in the NBAGL, playing for the Salt Lake City Stars, the Agua Caliente Clippers of Ontario, and the Cleveland Charge.
The 6’8″ forward earned a call-up to the NBA last December during the league’s COVID-19 outbreak, signing a 10-day hardship deal with the Cavaliers. He appeared in two games for the Cavs during his brief NBA stint, scoring six points and grabbing a couple rebounds in 11 total minutes of action.
Here are a few more odds and ends from around the basketball world:
- Jonathan Wasserman of Bleacher Report shares his first 2023 mock draft, headed by French big man Victor Wembanyama and G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson. Overtime Elite wing Amen Thompson, Duke swingman Dariq Whitehead, and Villanova forward Cam Whitmore round out Wasserman’s initial top five.
- Yossi Gozlan of HoopsHype takes a look at the teams currently projected to have the most cap room in 2023, including the Spurs, Rockets, Pistons, and Magic.
- In an interview with Israeli outlet Walla, free agent center Enes Freedom said he hasn’t received any offers from NBA teams this offseason (hat tip to Johnny Askounis of Eurohoops). Freedom attributed that lack of NBA interest to the comments he has made denouncing China, though it’s worth noting that his minutes were already on the decline due to his subpar outside shooting and defense.
Cam Whitmore is a DOG! Losing Bron/Steph/KD in the next 3-5yrs would usually be an enormous blow but the NBA is actually primed to enter yet) another golden age with all the talent pouring into the league at the start of this decade. Razorbacks got a few future stars as well. Remember the name Anthony Black. He should def be a top10 pick as well. He’s sort of a mix bw SGA & pre-injury Shaun Livingston. Cam Whitmore is sorta like a 21st century George McGinnis. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he wins the Wooden Award & leads Villanova to the natl title as a freshman
I thought that both Thompson twins were top 5 possibilities? Any info I missed?
Pretty sure the article has em both top6
It’s always somebody else’s fault with Enes.
Lol but not kaepernick.
Really doubt that @nus Kancer really cares about the China issue. Obviously the stuff with Turkey and Erdogan I think he’s being sincere. But he started washing out of the league about a year ago, getting benched in the 2021 playoffs, and around that time he pipes up about China. Trolling LeBron and the league in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. Then he sucks even more this year and uses his outspokenness as an excuse to avoid acknowledging that he’s just bad. Dude is going on Fox News and CPAC to diss the NBA and get involved with the culture wars, he’s so desperate to play ball. He CHANGED HIS NAME for crying out loud. Thinks that will help him get fans with all the ‘murica types who hate the NBA anyway and call players thugs. Him caring about China feels so disingenuous. He’s been a troll on and off the court his whole career. He’s just trying to make waves and not be forgotten, but he failed.
