    You don't have be a b****. If you would take a second to read what I said... I clearly std I don't understand... I'm implying can someone help me understand... and Bolstering their farm team is not a reason it's an action. To be clear as possible I have an open ended question "What long term potential can he fulfill"

    You stated your opinion of how he is undersized, defensive liability etc. And that is fine you can have your opinion.

    Let me speak in non baseball terms. According to what bimathug posted in another thread nba teams can have up to 4 nba affiliate players. I'm assuming this new acquisition is what that is for.

    Oh I definitely read what you said. Your original posting was a statement or group of statements and not a question. Maybe you should read what you post before trying to call me out on something.

    "I don't understand this.... He is a super small Troy Daniels...Not good at the rim, not a play maker and I'm sure he is a defensive liability.
    "


    And why is it necessary to try to decide this person's long term potential on day one of signing him. Maybe Morey wanted to add him to Vipers, give him a shot, and see what he has to offer. Players skillsets change from playing.

    That is all.

    I'll leave you with this "bring back drew, chico, roe4christ, and all the other insiders"

    How many ECU games did you watch to make this assessment?

    Ok not trying to be a dick but why would they want on the Vipers. After reading his draft profile, watching highlights and looking at his stats Nothing jumped out except his range and it's hard to be Troy Daniels at sub 6 foot.

    Until 6 months ago I live in Raleigh which is only about 2ish hours away from ECU so I know Ive seen him play multiple times but the only time I can remember was vs UNC and in that game he was an exceptional shooter but nothing else stood out. Im not saying he can't do anything just I haven't seen it and I cant find any statistical reason or expert evaluation that says otherwise.

    Didn't we just sign Geron Johnson? Wonder how much guaranteed money these guys get.

    So what's the purpose of all this frantic signing and waiving days before the final roster needs to be set?

    Kinda feel bad seeing his IG post/picture when everyone knows he'll be cut soon in all likely hood, but I'm sure he knows what's up.

    i don't know. I don't work in the front office. I'm not sure how many different statistics go into this analysis that daryl does. perhaps there was something he saw that he wanted to see if could be translated on to the court
