    He look OK in those highlights. Looks like a decent shot but not that athletic.

    Maybe he can tell Thabo to take a hike in French

    So what? Westbrook is athletic as hell and can't shoot.......I want someone that can put the biscuit in the basket and punish those teams that double team Harden.

    Calm down bro

    Im just saying he look OK . Do you imagine this guy playing above average defense ? How does his movement look compared to ariza ( even at this stage) or even clark ?

    No, he is not close to Ariza level of D, or PJ, but if he can play average D and hit 40% of his 3balls, we are so much better off.

    Reminds me of a slightly more athletic Patrick Patterson.

    I like the fact that the video shows him doing a lot of ball handling too. He looks to be more than just a spot up shooter and we need one of those players on the wing. I hope he gets some run soon so we can see how he fits.. Any help is welcomed

    He looks more fluid laterally moving left to right than a robotic Danuel House, or Ben Mclemore has no clue. Hopefully he develops as a starter with his length. Please be a Danillo Gallinari on offense, plus have some Euro defense IQ hopefully. He is 6'8 that can create and has a pure shot.

    Thabo, Nene are useless on the roster.
    Can they find a Royce O'Neele, Robert Covington

    Chris Clemons can play but when is Mike going to trust him.

    Gary Clark
    Isaiah Hartenstein
    Nene
    Thabo Sefolosha

    I really think these guys cant play in the playoffs, Mike Dantoni needs some Tougher, Better players.

    You hit 44% from outside you can play with the big boys. Welcome William!

    Where were you the previous 8 games, when Westbrook was feasting at historic rates on high efficiency? :D

    You aren't a fair-weather fan, you are a MY WEATHER fan...

    Nene's contract is actually pretty useful come the trade deadline.

    Some Delfino-esque intellect on this team would go a LONG way. Sometimes I even miss Kosta Papanigalau.

    Keep running swingmen through here. We'll eventually get what we need.

    Yep, looks slow and not much defense featured so no idea in that front.

    I can't find his wingspan. Does anyone know it? I keep reading that he has long arms.
