    Great find! I hope he's healthy and they bring him over. Wonder what his injuries were this season? Sounds like he had a difficult year.

    He would be a great addition. He can actually put the ball in the hoop

    It looks like he's an undersized SF who can't shoot the 3...

    So is he any good? Can anyone provide a breakdown of his skill set; preferably someone who's actually seen the guy play?

    iso midrange off the dribble, good at using his body to create separation but slow release on his shot, a bit immature in mindset

    So a wing that isn't athletic and can't shoot. Where do we sign up?

    hard to say how his game will translate. in pringles' offense he can rack up some easy baskets just moving off the ball. but his 3 is unreliable and he's used to having the ball in his hands for iso's. compared to papa he's a much better finisher, but with a lot less intangibles

    his lateral quickness is not up to nba standards but he'll probably try at least. he can be a feisty player at times. probably won't see much time his rookie year anyways
