Preston Knowles Signs NBDL Contract

by Mike Rutherford on Jan 9, 2012 3:42 PM EST in Basketball

It appears the rumors of Preston Knowles being unhappy in the Ukraine were true, as the former Cardinal guard has signed a contract with the Springfield Armor of the NBA Developmental League.

Take it away, C-J:

Wait...what?

I'm pretty sure that's not what they meant. If it is, then scientists finally breaking through and being successful in their attempts to genetically fuse our favorite Louisville basketball players is probably the bigger story.

"Russ Kuric" would certainly solve a lot of problems right now. I also can't imagine the type of beast Scootney McCray would have been in the '80s.

Anyway, best of luck to Preston, who joins a Springfield team that does include Jerry Smith. The Armor are the NBDL affiliate of the New Jersey Nets.

Congratulations to Preston!

I’m sure he’s glad to be “home.” I guess I’ll have to purchase even MORE TV channels. What a kick – Preston! and Jerry together again.

Wes Spencer or Felton Unseld?

I’ve always liked to imagine the utter domination of Unseld as a true seven footer. Home grown too.

He may have been only 6' 6 1/2" tall

but he was 7" wide and thick

I personally think Tacquisco Deancia

would have been the best player ever…only he had to have Cisco’s interview voice

According to the D-League Gamecast

Preston has 6 points and 2 rebounds in 6 minutes of play in the first half of his first game for Springfield. The Armor are down 3 to the Los Angeles D-fenders (clever) at the half.
