Perique still Unsigned?? - Aug 28, 2010 (by Bobby Rouse)
6'8' SG/SF Lance Perique (6'7''-F-83, college: Georgia St.) who played NCAA Division 1 basketball, worked out with the NBA New Orleans Hornets all last summer, and just recently destroyed the WBA this summer still remains unsigned by teams around the globe.

6'8' SG/SF Lance Perique (6'7''-F-83, college: Georgia St.) who played NCAA Division 1 basketball, worked out with the NBA New Orleans Hornets all last summer, and just recently destroyed the WBA this summer still remains unsigned by teams around the globe. How is this remotely possible? Teams jump at almost any player 6'8' and above, but he remains unsigned. Is it that teams find it hard to believe that a player his size is truly a SG? For those who have seen this kid play, they know that its all legit. He runs the floor, has a quick 1st step, extremely athletic, high percentage shooter from long range, can rebound and play defense on nearly all 5 positions. How is this possible, I ask?
If you don't think a player like this exists, see for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBg-s0hVotQ
