Speaking of alums, UMasshole grad Ricky Harris comes to (my) town tomorrow for a game. I vaguely remember him, but this was when GW was going to consecutive NCAA´s and UMassholes were middling so he was not a major concern of mine. Anyone have clearer recolection of his game?

Yuta faced off against compatriot Rui tonight. Yuta and the Grizzlies prevalied 128-111 against Rui and the Wizards. Yuta played seven minutes, and had a +/- of +8. He missed his lone shot attempt, but pulled down three rebounds.

Watanabe has appeared in four games this season. In November, he had 4 points and a rebound in 3 minutes against Dallas. In the past week and a half, he missed a shot in 4 minutes against the Bulls, and went 1-2 from the field in four minutes against Utah, with a stat line of 3 points, 1 rebound, and a block in 4 minutes.

Here was a pregame exchange between the two: https://twitter.com/washwizardsjp/status/1205993064080297984
 

I watched the game and liked how much the Wizards announcers mentioned Yuta. Drew Gooden was very complimentary and noted how impressive Yuta's play was during the summer league. It also sounded like the Memphis crowd gave Yuta a big hand when he entered the game.

So if you checked out the Grizzlies last night, you'll notice Yuta wasn't there. Grizzlies seemed healed up, so Yuta went back to the G League. In today's win, Yuta played 24 minutes and had 24 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. He was 8-12 from the field (4-6 on 3 pointers). Memphis Hustle are now 14-1.

This Friday, Yuta will be the Las Vegas Showcase, an event that's closed to the public, and open to professional scouts, etc. Memphis is the #1 seed and will play 4th seeded Grand Rapids. If they win, they could play Wisconsin on Sunday (the other one loss G League team), and it would be their only meeting this year. Both games will be on one of the ESPN channels.

If Memphis can win both games at the showcase, the team would split a $100,000 prize. More details below:

Worst case scenario, he still gets to live in the Canary Islands. Not bad!

I will hide this bit of info under this thread because it doesn't deserve it's own thread. 

Several of us on this site are GW Law alums. The nut case who is accused of killing the federal judge's son in New Jersey then off'ing himself is a GW Law alum. As if Michael Avenatti hasn't brought us enough bad publicity the past couple years!

I've seen several news accounts about this tragic story, and nobody has mentioned Roy Den Hollander being a GW Law alum, so you shouldn't feel too much shame. The judge's son was a sophomore or junior(and maybe baseball player too) at Catholic University.

With the NBA season starting back up very soon, does anyone know if Yuta will be playing for the Memphis Grizzlies?

Per Yuta:

Grizzlies facility three days ago. That being said, G's are currently listing 17 players on the roster, but not clear who is actually participating and who will be active.
