    Well...

    Daryl is Woj now.

    also...

    we have too many guards and no forwards.

    I like this move. Low-risk, decent reward. He's a great shooter.

    Eh, decent flier on an athletic shooter. I'm fine with it.

    Unfortunately...looks like the nail in the coffin for Shumpert. They're really gonna let him walk for nothing. Just so dumb.

    Decent 3 or small ball 4. Can shoot and has at least the physical tools to play good defense. If he sucks it's just an NG. I like it.

    A little redundant with Gerald on the roster, but it’s low risk. He can play.

    Something tells me Calvin Murphy's #23 won't be unretired for McLemore.

    If last season was any indication, the Rockets will at some point break their own record for most 3-pointers in a single game and McLemore will be the one to hit the 28th.
