COLUMBUS, GA - Seven current and former members of the Columbus Riverdragons have earned spots on 2004 NBA training camp rosters in their efforts to win roster spots for the upcoming NBA season that opens November 2. The seven Riverdragons competing in NBA training camps include: Tremaine Fowlkes (New Orleans Hornets), Derrick Zimmerman (Houston Rockets), Terence Morris (Los Angeles Clippers), Jeff Myers (Atlanta Hawks), Nate Johnson (Los Angeles Lakers), Tang Hamilton (Miami Heat), and Lonnie Jones (Milwaukee Bucks). A total of 50 players from the NBDL's first three seasons are participating in vet camps around the NBA.
Zimmerman, who finished his rookie season sixth in the NBDL in assists with 5.3 distributions per game, will vie for a roster spot with the Houston Rockets. Zimmerman participated this past summer with the Seattle Supersonics in the Reebok Rocky Mountain Revue, July 16-24, in Salt Lake City.
Hamilton, a 2002-03 First Team All-NBDL selection and rebounding champion (9.0 rpg) with the Dragons, will participate with Shaquille O'Neal and the Miami Heat.
The Riverdragons open their 2004-05 home schedule on Saturday, November 20 at the Columbus Civic Center against the Huntsville Flight.
