Thunder signed Tyler Davis to a two-way

Tyler Davis an undrafted 6’10” big out of Texas A&M. Davis averaged 14.9 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 1.4 BPG, and 59 FG% last season during his Junior year there.

Davis is a tough, physical player that is good at scoring in the paint, rebounding, and also have stretch-big potential, but he struggles on defense against quicker and more athletic players, and he would also need to improve on his conditioning.

Davis’ career highlights and awards so far include First-team All-SEC (2018), Second-team All-SEC (2017), SEC All-Freshman team (2016), Jordan Brand Classic (2015), and Texas Mr. Basketball (2015). He also represent for the Puerto Rican national team at the 2017 FIBA AmeriCup.

Russ 2k19 rating

Westbrook’s NBA 2k19 rating will be a 93 OVR according to Jack Butland, an English Pro-Soccer (Football) goalkeeper, already confirmed by 2k Sports.

Russell Westbrook’s NBA 2k ratings over the years:

• 2k9: 84 OVR
• 2k10: 77 OVR
• 2k11: 81 OVR
• 2k12: 88 OVR
• 2k13: 93 OVR
• 2k14: 91 OVR
• 2k15: 94 OVR
• 2k16: 95 OVR
• 2k17: 93 OVR
• 2k18: 94 OVR
• 2k19 93 OVR

What do you think about his 2k rating?

In my opinion, I think it seems about right because he did still have some holes in his game that he can improve this upcoming season, since this is not a permanent rating and can change during the season, but a guy that averaged another triple-double season should at least get a 94 OVR like last year.

Why Not? Tour Asia completed

Westbrook completed his successful Why Not? Tour after visiting cities in Asia like Shanghai, Beijing, and Tokyo.

Schröder win 3x3 German Basketball Tournament.

According to the Welt and later translated by HoopsHype, Dennis Schröder won a 3x3 German Basketball Tournament Title that was taking place at Spielbudenplatz in Hamburg, Germany.

“That’s the basketball that I grew up with,” said Schröder, who was already German champion in 2016. “I still like to play during the summer, because here you can try out new moves that you would not do in the arena. I would like to be here again for the next German championship.”
