Report: Bryce Cotton To Sign Two Year Deal with the San Antonio Spurs

1 Comment

RealGM.com is reporting that Bryce Cotton and the San Antonio Spurs have agreed to a two year deal that will be signed Wednesday. The report says that the deal is partially guaranteed with the guarantee portion being that if Cotton makes the roster after training camp, the second season becomes guaranteed. The salary is reportedly at the league minimum which is $507,336 for the 2014-15 season.

Cotton will suit up for the Spurs’ Summer League squad in Las Vegas from July 11th-21st. His final decision reportedly was between San Antonio and Dallas.

One interesting note is that Spurs’ free agent guard Patty Mills will have surgery to repair his rotator cuff that could keep him out until at least January 2015. ESPN.com’s Marc Stein is reporting that the Spurs do want to re-sign Mills and contract negotiations have already begun. This injury might ultimately hurt Cotton ironically because less teams may be willing to offer Mills a free agent contract now that he is injured.

Tyler Harris will once again attend the Kevin Durant Skills Academy. This year’s camp will be held from June 27th-29th in Washington, DC. Here is a short description of the event from the website:

The 2014 NBA MVP Kevin Durant will host the top 30 high school and top 15 collegiate wing players from across the country at the annual Durant skills academy. Over two and a half days and five workouts, Durant will relay to the next generation of wing players what it takes to be named NBA MVP.

Harris has been down in Houston working with John Lucas this offseason.

1 Comment

Ed Cooley and his staff have worked extremely hard and are involved with the most highly ranked players that I can ever remember at one time. The AAU circuit is slowing down a bit for the next few weekends and individual camps will take the forefront. This weekend is the Pangos All American Camp in California which has featured some big names over the years including two current PC players – Kris Dunn and Jalen Lindsey. As of yesterday’s posting of the weekly recruiting update I didn’t have the roster for this invitation only camp but it came out late last night. Here are the Providence recruits who are there this weekend:

Class of 2015

  • Justin Jenifer – 5’10 PG – Milford Mill Academy (Baltimore, MD)
  • Isaiah Briscoe – 6’3 SG – Roselle Catholic (Roselle, NJ)
  • Malik Beasley – 6’4 SG – St. Francis (Alpharetta, GA)

  • Kaiser Gates – 6’8 – SF – St. Francis (Norcross, GA)
