    Def been playing a bit better lately. I like his role coming off the bench, unfortunately McLemore may be the odd man out.

    Really wish we had Nwaba locked in for a couple more years like Tate.

    not Unfortunately, I have never been high on Mclemore, he's fit was good with Harden because of the catch and shoot 3's. He is really terrible when he has to dribble, pass, defend, finish a layup. Hell sometimes he will even brick all his open 3's

    I guess I say unfortunately because I'm a fan of him as a person and that he had a career year last year lol. Generally agree though, he hasn't been very good this year either.

    He is Elite at finishing on a fastbreak, and is a very good defender in his short stretches. Everything else kind of wavers. But overall, he is a nice player. I don't regret dumping Hartenstein to sign him.

    I don't think so. He would have played the same role as Prince Luc. Harden wouldn't have minded that.

    How he is playing isn't surprising at all.

    I expect his three point shot to improve some as well.

    Still need more games (under 20 right now).

    So far, he has shown bright spots. Good defense and hustle. He's athletic and can go hard to the rim. Sometimes a bit erratic, that may come with experience as seeing how pack the paint is when he goes in. If he can get a consistent 3pt shooting that could cement him a spot.

    If he could learn to shoot he'd be an ace addition. His defense and hustle is amazing.
