The title may be a little misleading because they still have to
make the team. However, two point guards were the first to
be invited to play on a NBA summer team.
Those two players are Duke's Jon Scheyer and UConn's Jerome Dyson.
Neither of the two was really promised to be drafted. Each have
the ability to run the point but there are still question marks.
Dyson was announced to participate on the Cleveland Cavaliers
summer team.
On the other hand, Scheyer is going to D.C with John Wall and the
Wizards.
Dyson seems to be in a situation where he could possibly make the
roster. He is coming to a team that doesn't really need a point guard because
of the services of LeBron James--that's assuming he stays.
He could come right in and play the role Mo Williams and Delonte
West failed to play.
He is very aggressive and has the ability to score the ball at
will.
He reminds me a lot of Phoenix Suns guard Leandro Barbosa. Neither
player gets lift on their jump shot and both stand 6-foot-3. Not to mention,
neither was looked on to be much of a threat in the NBA.
Barbosa proved he can be an under-sized shooting guard, can Dyson?
We'll find out shortly.
As for Scheyer, he is also put into a place where he can make the
roster. He is 6'5'' and has the ability to play either position.
He can come into Washington as a shooting guard and provide
three-point shooting from the wing.
Not only that, when Wall is out he has the ability to run the
offense. He sees the court well and get's his teammates involved on the
offensive side of the ball.
Scheyer and Dyson are both placed in situations where they might
make the roster.
More un-signed talent is one the way.
