Sam Pellom was out of the NBA before our current coaches for football, men's basketball, and women's basketball were born. It's nice that we have a NBA alum, but I think @DooleyBull06 was talking about a NBA break through: In our D1 history In our MAC history Younger than 70 years old At this point talking about Pellom's NBA career is like Bona fans talking about their National (Invitational Tournament) Championship and Final Four. Cool that it happened but you can't use it for recruiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DooleyBull06 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I’m well aware of Sam Pellom. But I was more just saying break for this modern era. Pellom was done in the NBA before I was born. No offense meant to the older generation we have on the board. But the one thing lacking while we had our recent success was pushing through a player that made it to the NBA. Hopefully Williams gets a few buckets and announcers mention UB. That’s all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're tanking 2015 Sabres-style, so there are plenty of minutes available. NBA contracts are so complex so it's hard to tell, but a two-year deal must mean he'll at least have a chance to compete at training camp. I'm wrapping up a fantasy NBA title today and was really hoping to use my last pick-up of the week to add Jeenathan to my roster as a cherry on top. But ESPN hasn't added him to the database yet.

Like others said they’re tanking and the season is nearly over so likely yes. I will buy a Blazers Jeenathan Williams jersey if he plays even one second if that incentivizes them at all lol 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also CJ Massinburg with the Nets. Ok, it was only preseason. But he was sitting next to Kevin Durant on the baseline, as there were not enough chairs on the regular bench that night.

Dabulls Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Wonder if this gets Jeenathan’s jersey retired at Alumni? Second UB player to make the NBA, highest rated recruit and all around great player. He’s making Buffalo and his hometown/city of Rochester proud 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
