Sam Mackinnon

Here's an exerpt from a web Chat with ESPN Chris Sheridan - he mentions Sam Mackinnon's chances with the Raptors:

Ben, fredericton, Canada: What kind of move do you see Brian Colangelo making? Wouldn't the raps be able to put together a pretty decent package for a lot of veteran players without touching their core? It seems like Calderon, a Mo Pete sign and trade, a pcik and maybe another throw in would be enough to get the job done on a lot of teams. Think there's anyway Ray Allen could be grabbed from the conics?

Chris Sheridan: I think he's operating on a muh smaller scale, \Ben. He'll probably do a sign-and-trade with Mo Peterson, and he's bringing in Austrailian League MVP Sam Mackinnon for a summer league tryout. Keep an eye on Sam. He would have made it to the NBA years ago if not for two major knee injuries.

I think he's got a great chance of making it. I wasn't aware he was having a run with the Raptors, I thought it was only the Cavs and Suns.

It was reported up here that he was only trying out for two teams. The media could of got it wrong.

Though they have never made a mistake before........

He is one who will not change for making the NBA. Not so sure about some others. Good luck Sammy.

I think he can do it and it'd be great to see. Let me join the Go Sam chorus.

How about inconsistent shooting
from 10ft and beyond I have never thought he would make it ever.

Peeps forget (or don`t know) how good he was when he was 15-16... Starting and being a major peice of a CBA Champion team (and a Magic bench player)... I`d say if he had come along 10 years later he would have made the NBA easy...

Would be awesome to see Sam FINALLY in the NBA where he belongs.

He would be a huge bonus for any NBA team off the bench
