sure they have something like this but if not they should have a "Pro" wall somewhere that recruits can stare at
Dins have had many pros over the years even before Medved and Richey.
SD forgets the name, but one young man that xferred out of Dins even played in NBA finals. Think he xfrrd to Fort Wayne when JJ left
Jordan Loyd, left when JJ was still here. Actually he only played 1 game (the first game of the season) his sophomore year. Don't think that would be a player that we would put on a wall
But we have had some guys play in Europe, etc. over the past couple decades that would qualify as good FU Pro's, to go along with NBA guys like Slawson, Selvy, Mayes, etc.
JJ and that one game apparently had a huge impact on JL
. Per wiki
Toronto Raptors (2018–2019)
On June 25, 2018, Loyd signed a two-year deal with the Turkish team Darüşşafaka.[12] Four days later, Loyd joined the Toronto Raptors and the Boston Celtics for the 2018 NBA Summer League.[13][14] On August 7, 2018, after impressing during the Summer League, Loyd opted out of his deal with Darüşşafaka and signed a two-way contract with the Toronto Raptors.[15] On October 29, 2018, he made his NBA debut playing two minutes in a 109–124 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.[16]
Loyd won a championship with the Raptors after they defeated the Golden State Warriors in the 2019 NBA Finals. Loyd became known as the "Random Guy in a Suit" due to being beside Kawhi Leonard during the Game 7 buzzer beater, which he recognized by wearing a shirt with this slogan during the Raptors Championship parade.[17] Although Loyd did not play in the playoffs nor Finals, Loyd was credited as an important part of the Raptors' championship versus the Warriors, as Loyd was used as a fill-in for Stephen Curry during Raptors' practices, simulating Curry for defensive game planning.[18]
On August 2, 2019, Loyd was waived by the Raptors.[19]
