There were reports about Michael Qualls agreeing to join the Pelicans' summer league team this year, but he is not on the recently released roster. Anyone know what happened?

There are no news stories I can find as to why he's not playing for them.

He's not listed as a player on the official summer league website either.

I was just on the NBA's summer league website.
I checked players in the league - no Michael Qualls.

Man - I just sure wish Qualls had stayed in school.

I would bet he does, too.

Quote from: GA reddiehog on April 16, 2024, 07:44:38 pmPitching over hyped and hitting nonexistent is going to make for several loses here on out. Maybe it will not be as bad as the BB team. Lack of hitting has been a problem for many moons.

Yeah Hoglady, I agree with you.  Perfect example of how touch and go that "stay or leave" decision can be.  Just hope that he gets lucky like Patrick Beverly did (although I think Beverly did put in time overseas).

I hate how poorly things have gone for Qualls since he declared for the draft. He's got to get to playing ball somewhere because it doesn't look like he's a hot commodity in the NBA right now with a strong group of undrafted free agents from this 2016 draft.

Many will say that he never should have left, but no one could have seen things playing out like this. And he might very well be heading into his second season in the NBA without that knee injury. Sometimes it's just one bad break. He had legitimate mid-second round buzz before he hurt his knee.

He needs to head on overseas if he can't get on a summer league team.
Not many other options if he wants to keep playing ball.

He should see if he can play in the D-League this season because it's a faster path to the NBA. Overseas is not great for most rookies in the early going, but he can raise his overseas profile (where the money is better) playing in the D-League (where the NBA opportunity is better).

Beverly didn't have a choice.

I remember it was an academic issue, although I remember at the time the rumor was that his academic advisor had messed up.  Don't know if that is true.  But, I though that it was the end of Beverly's career and, luckily, it worked out well for him.  I just wish that Qualls could be on the receiving end of a little luck.

Like the kid but he chose to leave instead of finishing his degree.
You never know in advance what the outcome of any given situation is so either get busy living or get busy dying.

He chose to leave instead of exhausting his eligibility. He can easily obtain his degree (believe there was less than a full semester left) at any point. Completing your degree should not really factor into a player decision to leave school unless they intend to go into a line of work that requires that degree. Otherwise, it's a basketball decision and they do not need a degree and will be able to finish that degree at any point (and probably still for free).

So, who cares? The decision was made for his basketball career so getting a degree is completely and utterly irrelevant.

You can follow him on snapchat. A few weeks ago he was working out in Miami.

You are now officially Michael Quall's liason from his Snapchat to Hogville.  Congatulations
