Sonny Weems Leads Colorado to D-League Finals
The Colorado 14ers overcame an 11-point fourth quarter deficit to take a 114-111 win over the Austin Toros - finishing the game on a 23-10 run in the final 7:45 in front of a pretty good crowd, at least as far as the 14er's are concerned. The 14er's are now the first team in the D-League finals, awaiting the results of Monday's game between Utah and Dakota.
Denver Nuggets assignee Sonny Weems led the Colorado comeback, scoring 14 of his team-high 27 points in the fourth quarter. Weems tied the game at 103 with a 3-pointer from the right corner with 5:32 to play, and gave the 14ers the lead for good on a fast break dunk that had Chad Andrus exclaiming "He spiked that one down like a volleyball on Bowen's head!" My reaction was a bit different, as it involved the word 'Holy' followed by an expletive.
J.R. Smith was also in attendance.

I hope this gu can steal some of AC and Dahntays minutes next season. I hope he doesnt get picked up by another team after Summer League due to his mixed role this season

Weems is a very talented guy ...
I agree WhaHuh that the Nuggets should retain him.
You can see when young athletic guys go to different teams (J.R. Smith … Hornets, Bulls (on paper), Nuggets and the emergence of Shannon Brown in L.A. for the Lakers (his 4th team)) that their careers can come together.
