...and Jordan Egelseder

Eglseder was cut long ago...he only played 2 games with them..

a few but not many D-League players get called up...
..and it's not always who you think based on stats...sometimes it's just the need for big bodies...
but Jamar's outside shooting is the one passport that might get him a short term contract for some NBA team to see how he does against NBA defenses...

as far as where Jamar's stats rank in the D-League where every game has scores of 110 pts or more....and few games appear to have much defense being played...

--his scoring of 13.1 ppg ranks 72th in the league
--his shooting pct. of .498 ranks 74th
--his 3-pt shooting pct of .459 ranks 9th but actually higher as a few of those above him have not shot many
--Jamar's assists of 4.8 per game ranks 20th in the D-League
