Former Husker James Palmer has joined the summer league roster for the Phoenix Suns, according to The Athletic.
That means there will be at least two former Nebraska players in the summer league. Palmer's teammate, Isaiah Roby, was drafted in the second round earlier this month and will play in summer league with the Dallas Mavericks.
While I wish JPJ the best, I really hope to see Isaac Copeland Jr find his way onto a team somewhere.
Me too. I loved the attitude and talent of Copeland. I sure hope he gets the opportunity. I’ld love to get to know this guy. Great character, discipline, and humility. I would like him to get angry and self centered. I think he is a great athlete. He would be great in the pros with a chip on his shoulder and with an attitude. Love the guy.
Me, too. He reminded me a lot of how I played.
In what way? Tentative?
Nah, just in the great character, discipline, and especially the humility part.
Did you play college ball? What position?
His fouls were from aggressive defense—and one charge that could have gone either way. He played well on the defensive end of the court and created disruption for the other team.
James was guarding the other team’s top scorer at the end of the game when it was close and the outcome hung in the balance.
