Kadeem Jack makes it on Pacers training camp roster

[higgins3]

Great job, Jack!He has NBA height, an offensive game. As long as he stays aware on defense, we could see a player in the NBA that came from RU.Always was a big fan. Jacks story is a lot like others on this team. Came from very little and very humble beginnings.


I am happy for em. Good Luck,Jack. We R proud.

Jack has been signed to the Pacers training camp roster

Those were nonetheless declines in his production from his junior year, when he’d done more in fewer minutes, with 14.3 PPG and 6.9 RPG in 29.3 MPG. He altered his shot selection, taking 48 total three-pointers and connecting on 15 of them in 2014/15 after attempting just a trio of three-pointers as a junior.

I wish Jack would go back to his old game. Also develop the courage to go back inside. Put on the weight and stick to the game that suits you.

IMO he should have gone overseas-----better money and a better lifestyle than the D League.

 

[RUAEPI]

Can always go overseas at almost any time. There are leagues all over the world. Let him get his name out there in the D league. I just hope his game has improved. Because last year it wasn't even B1G caliber....

Someone should alert the pacers that there is someone on RU's roster -- Freeman -- who is already better than Jack. I'm sure they'll be following closely and maybe Freeman will declare for the draft early.

The Pacers apparently already have 15 players with guaranteed contracts so this is really an audition for a spot somewhere else.

 

[Saint Puppy]

Just my opinion, but Kadeem's career is overseas - hope I'm proved wrong. Either way congrats Kadeem!

I hope you are right. That would be great

Evidence of that?

Jack has to stop dribbling so much and stop shooting 3 pt shots. Get inside, stay alert on defense, and leave the dribbling/ball handling to the PG. YOu see a lot of 3-5 wanting to dribble like a PG these days. Play to your strengths.

Kadeem apparently got a nice chunk of guaranteed money to sign with the Pacers. Worst case scenario has him employed in the D League to give him a chance to hone his skills.

He took a calculated risk by not signing immediately overseas...glad to see it paid off for him! Wish him nothing but the best of luck moving forward in his career!

Curious. What do you think he signed for $$. Re:good chunk of money.

 

[BKIn118]

NBA minimum. His contract is guaranteed from what I understand...

This article may give you a rough estimate...

Inking the three-year deal was a huge accomplishment. However, only $200,000 of the $507,336 salary for the 2014-15 season was guaranteed, so he still had to do well in training camp and make the team in order to collect all of the money.

Wow. Not bad. Guaranteed. Good for him.

You may be right but a year or two in the NBA makes him an overseas high salary LOCK should he not make it in the NBA I think

This is BIG. We all knew Kadeem had talent but it didnt surface often enough while at RU.

I wish Kadeem luck!!!!!! GOOD for him!

 

[higgins3]

Great stuff.

 

[StyleKnight]

Kadeem was always frustrating to watch because he was always on the cusp of putting it together but never fully accomplished it. Hopefully now that he can focus full time on honing his skills he can put it all together.

 

[S.W.A.I.N]

He was Herve 2.0...it just drove you nuts that the potential to dominate was there, but only occurred in flashes. Very excited that he can continue his career.
