Johnson (6-3, 203, Memphis), appeared in 67 contests at Memphis University holding career averages of 9.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in 28.3 minutes. An Ohio native, Johnson spent his junior and senior season as a Memphis Tiger after transferring from Garden City Community College (KS). In his senior season at Memphis, he guided his team to a 2014 NCAA Tournament win over George Washington. Mitchell (6-9, 230, Virginia), appeared in 133 contests and held career averages of 6.9 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists as a Virginia Cavalier. He was a participant on Houston’s Las Vegas and Orlando Summer League teams, but has not appeared in a preseason game.
Now we have his rights for NBDL ... Mitchel,Johnson and Black(if we cut him and doesn't sing elsewhere) ?
I think I remember really liking this guy in SL, but I think I was drinking alot this Summer so... not sure you want to take my word on it.
Yes that's the point. If he's signed and then waived, the Rockets retain his D-LEAGUE rights. D-LEAGUE is the only thing you need to know about this signing.
To get him to RGV for development. This is a player that has Beverley defensive potential. Extremely athletic and strong with high endurance and long arms. Has tremendous defensive potential. Morey probably gave him $50,000 or so to sign a contract and get him to RGV after we release him for development. Then if he starts showing a little something and we move Bev as part of a bigger PG deal, you've got him simmering at RGV waiting for an opportunity with the big club to come in and provide 94' of hell after Bev is gone.
Holy crap! The behind-the-back dunk was effortless! Here goes Morey just finding starting PGs out of nowhere. Dude probably farts PGs.
Wow ! That right there is yet another move by by Durilius Moriatious to re-shape the map on NBA small lineups ! All Point Guard team ! Oh yeah !
I dunno about starting PG's, but Morey sure knows how to fart out Ish Smith. It's an Ish fart. Ishart.
