alessandro gentile how do you like boston/phoenix/minnesota/x.. ?

 

Dude is an accomplished 6'6" SG, surely someone will take him

 

Is contract status one of the reasons why Gentile was picked late?

 

As opposed to the kind of ankle sprains Casspi suffers?

 

Thanks for the clarification.

BOXSCORE

 

Gentile sews up the game with a moving pick that any NBA ref would call and a push off. Tough kid, but that stuff wins you nothing in the NBA these days.

 

This is awesome news to me. I figured Morey took on the hope he'd come over. Didn't sound like he was that interested at first.

 

The kid looks good....and resilient.
