I am shocked that he got signed. Great for him, I just hope he can hold onto his slot. Congratulations to Dru.

He is especially disruptive on defense in the passing lanes and he’s really an exceptional team player that does whatever it takes to win. I’m guessing those are the types of things that got noticed in the NBA summer league games.

I congratulate him also and wish him well. I Still think he could have been my favorite Aces player in my 50 years of following. Unselfish, hard working, intelligent team player.

I might also mention that former Aces player, Art Labinowicz, may be playing in the G League, per Chad's tweet a few days ago.

He signed with a G-League team I think in Iowa.

Dru made his regular season professional debut today. He was the second man off the bench for the Sioux Falls Skyforce (Miami Heat) playing 25:49 and scoring 13 points. The Skyforce lost 115-100 to the Iowa Wolves (Minnesota T-Wolves). stats.gleague.nba.com/game/2052100016/

The Skyforce lost 115-100 to the Iowa Wolves (Minnesota T-Wolves). stats.gleague.nba.com/game/2052100016/Thanks for sharing. Looks like Sam had 16 points in 12 minutes off the bench: gleague.nba.com/games/20211029/WISWCB/ So it looks like both Dru and Sam did good. Although I would say Dru brings so many more intangibles to the game where Sam had 0 rebounds, 0 assists and 0 steals. Dru had 3 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal and I'm sure was very disruptive on the defensive end. Granted Dru played twice as many minutes. Art was waived on Nov 4th. I think this is the first time that Evansville has had three players in the G-League at one time. Mockevicius is the only other UE player I remember in the G-League (and we saw him play here in Austin when he was here).

Dru's G League bio shows in 10 games he averaged 27.5 minutes a game averaging 8 ppg, 3.3 rbg, 3.1 apg, 1.2 spg with a 2/1 assist to turnover ratio. Solid stats for team player.
