"No draftees for Oregon State this year, but three former Beavs made some waves this July. Let’s start off with Eric Moreland, who turned his Orlando stint with the Detroit Pistons into a three-year deal with Detroit (not fully guaranteed). You knew you’d get the defense and rebounding with Moreland, but probably the most impressive thing about the small sample size of games in Orlando is that he shot 77 percent from the foul line (10-of-13), a huge jump up from the 38 percent he shot in the G League this year with the Canton Charge. He has been injured one way or another for a good chunk of his professional career, so here’s to hoping Moreland can stick around with the Pistons in the regular season add some more regular season experience to that current 11-game, 2-year stint with the Sacramento Kings.
Hoping to hang on with the Milwaukee Bucks after receiving a late-season call-up, Gary Payton II continued to be the defensive pest that he is, averaging 3.3 steals in four games for the Buckaroos and making inbounds passes a nightmare for the opposing team. Lastly, Jared Cunningham did well to turn heads in Vegas in hopes of finding his way on to another NBA roster, as he went for 15.3 points on 42 percent 3-point shooting in four games with the Wizards."
