    Why William McDowell-White? Don't really see any highlights on him.

    Ponds has not impressed so far. I know he needs to get acclimated and get his confidence right, but he has had almost no showing of any kind. His lack of athleticism is going to be VERY tough to overcome.

    i like the Ponds deal even after his bad summer league showing. He needs to play with the roster guys in preseason.

    It’s basically a 40 day deal for them to try to make the team, like House did last year

    In SL they had him playing with 3 other PGs on the court at the same time. I'm not sure what anyone was expecting to happen in that scenario.

    Ponds disappointed me in summer league, but I like what I've seen on White

    Well this means Clemons is guaranteed a real roster spot.

    Personally i didn't see anything in McDowell during the last summer league, kinda surprised he's getting a two way contract, but i guess they had no one else more intriguing to sign.

    His old man had a great career as an Australian Rules footballer. Freakish athlete and a very skilled footballer. Will be interesting to see how William turns out. Great to have an Aussie on the squad :)
