McGinnis to Lipscomb.

We'll be sending a team to TBT for the first time since 2018.

The "Nasty Nati" team (playing out of the Cintas Center region) will consist of:

-Kevin Johnson (GM)
-Troy Caupain
-Jacob Evans
-Jarron Cumberland
-Tre Scott
-Octavious Ellis
-Coreonte DeBerry
-Shaq Thomas

You'd have to imagine they'd have a pretty good chance to advance far in the tournament with that squad

Wow good options

For those interested in the past, Alex Meachem recently posted a good interview with Mamoudou Diarra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y-1...=SHINEOneMedia

Lots of good info on there and just a fun inside view of what was going on with Diarra.
He also went deeper into what happened with Brannen than just about anyone and had some inside views on Cronin as well. He let slip a tidbit that makes it seem like both MAW and Davenport also wanted to leave.

Sounds like Diarra was a great locker room guy who helped hold the team together.
In terms of career it seems like he struggled with the coaching changes and not having a set position. Lots of practicing as a 4, but playing as a 5.

Thanks for tracking this. Good to see these guys getting lots of playing time.
