    So he's our new backup 5. I kid. Sort of.

    As for Defense, it seems to my inexperienced eyes that a lot of being a good defender in the NBA is respect from the refs. So that inadvertent contact, and jostling for position, is called that way, and not called as a foul. We'll see how much respect he gets.

    A 6'8 guy who can fill the basket, and stay in front of his man, will be a godsend for getting Tucker's minutes down to the low 30s a game.

    i don’t see that at all. he moves really slow laterally and often he is out of balance. and this is against gleague so he’s going to look even slower in the nba game. he does have a great looking 3 pt stroke though and he seems taller than 6’8”.

    house has been struggling defensively lately but he is a fluid athlete and stays in front of ppl. mclemore has looked a lot better on the defensive end as of late - talking on def and switching/rotating.

    All you have to is handle the ball and stroke it? Why doesn't 90% of Clutchfans have a contract then?

    Better Sefolosha defensively than Sefolosha at this stage of his career....better 3-pt shooter than Sefolosha
    at any stage of Sefolosha’s career.

    I like the signing.

    Prediction: Sefolosha won’t be with the team past the trading deadline

    Looks like Ariza and Lou Will mixed together.

    His comparable is Thabo.

    Still should sign Jeff Green.

    I think Westbrook is what he is, will always be where he has landed, I don't overeact to 8 games of efficiency - it is the mean that matters.

    Nah, just want the team to add some length that can also shoot.....never understand why we build a 3pt dominant team with a bunch of sub 36% 3pt shooters.

    hmmm, is this further proof that DD is Morey? Part of me says Yes, and part of me says Morey wouldn't congratulate himself.

    Maybe DD is actually Tilman. Tilman does congratulate himself, and DD does say "Shut up and listen." :)

    need a ruling from @Os Trigonum

    He's got the perfect 1st Syllable Rockets name, that tells our story.

    Even better when you add Morey to it.

    Will!
    How?

    Now this gives me more hope, but G League and
    6' 8" wasn't exactly my ideal forward signing. Hey, at least it isn't another guard.

    I don’t know NBA has this guy.

    Why we always sign these scrubs?

    Meaningless signing
