Raphael Putney! A 6'10 pure shooter. Just watched him score 38 points & 18 rebounds. Sign this guy to a 10 day contract.
Dang dude actually looks pretty skilled. That body needs work though. Not gonna cut it at this level. Maybe if a trade comes down we can free up a little space and give him a shot. If he were to put in the work Capela has he could be pretty interesting.
he has freakishly long arms. freak me out. do not want. rockets assketball will find some way to screw him up

What happened this year that made this kid have such a large jump? It's not like he was tearing up competition in college or previous d-league stint. It's curious.
I strongly agree. I watched a Viper's game in person-- the famous one right after XMAS when Harrell got into the shoving match with Jent. Putney was the star of the game, with Harrell a close second. Putney is thin, but quick and athletic , seems to have a good feel about where to be on the floor and has a great touch, both from the three and also in drives/floaters to the basket. Very impressed and meant to post about him. One game and now this one, but he looks like a star. Future as a small forward who can block shots with his length and timing. As an aside poor KD McDaniel looked lost and not impressive at all in a run and gun format that should be his forte. One game, but based on that I would be surprised if he ever amounts to much. Even his defense, aside from a couple of chase down blocks, looks out of sync and that horrible set shot.
