2010-11 Red Claws Training Camp Roster Announced
November 2, 2010 - NBA G League (G League)
Maine Celtics News Release
PORTLAND, ME -- The Maine Red Claws, presented by Quirk Chevrolet, today announced that they have extended invitations to 15 players to the team's 2010 training camp. The players will report on Monday, November 8 with camp opening on Tuesday, November 9.
Among the players is guard Mario West who rejoins the team after spending much of last season with the Atlanta Hawks. Also returning to the team is the Red Claws 2009 first round draft pick Paul Harris. Harris missed all of the 2009-10 season following an ankle injury. He will be joined in camp by fellow first rounder Magnum Rolle, a highly-regarded prospect who was selected by the team with the third overall pick in the 2010 draft.
The Red Claws 2010-11 roster will look much different than the inaugural squad, with ten rookies among the 15 players. With nine guards, camp is expected to be spirited as the 15 players battle for just ten open spots.
"We are focusing on youth and energy this season," said Red Claws President and General Manager Jon Jennings. "It will be a battle in training camp, with a lot of players fighting it out to gain a spot. Our job is to development players for the NBA, and this team will be young and hungry. We had good success with that in our first season with our first call up, seven players invited to NBA camps this season and four players on opening day NBA rosters. We are looking to further that success this season."
