    Troy Daniels 3 pt shooting + Terrance Williams Athleticism and potential = Troy Williams?

    Maybe?

    Read that this guy has a high motor, but is inconsistent as a player. Still worth a 10 day still. Very happy the Rockets decided to experiment.

    Troy has a chance. NBA athlete and plays hard. I wish we had picked him up when he was 1st released. Could stick as a defender. I think Lucas knows this kid and may have recommended this. I could be wrong.

    it's like he already knows he's getting canned in a few months anyways and now's just getting in some last minute toying with and trolling the fanbase

    After watching a few videos, the closest comparison I can come up with is Westbrook. Not that he's anywhere near as talented, but he has a similar type game.....constant activity, relentless attack mode and a game built around athleticism. He has a decent handle..better than KJ. He shot a Brewer level 24% from 3 with the Grizzlies, but has hit 33% from 3 on 4 attempts per game in the D League.

    Here's a measurables comparison:

    Height
    Westbrook: 6' 3.5"
    Williams: 6' 6.75"

    Wingspan
    Westbrook: 6' 7.75"
    Williams: 6' 8.25"

    No Step Vert
    Westbrook: 30"
    Williams: 30"

    Max Vert
    Westbrook: 36.5"
    Williams: 36"

    So basically a more athletic Corey brewer and a better 3 shot? Sounds good

    Wait so do you think it's about making him ineligible for Memphis? Not sure if you clarified
