Heard the comment that K.D. transferred to Memphis in hopes Penny could teach him what he needs to do to play in the NBA. As talented a guy as K.D. is, I'm afraid you can't coach height. Will be interesting to see if he can make anyone's roster but I would think he may at least get an invite to play in the G league where he can make $40k

[tristatecoog]

He is making far more than that this year

7:01 into the game, SMU gets its first field goal (layup by Phelps)

WSU 11, SMU 3

[PonyPride]

He is making far more than that this year

Plenty of international teams pay a lot more, too

Todorovic cans a 3 (and rims out another)

11-6

WSU's Shammah scores fast-break layup ... after four steps on his way to the rim
