    Give me a break. What a sh*tty poll. He was worth the gamble of the 44th pick in a crappy draft. He was an outstanding offensive player in his rookie season. He shows flashes. Put him in RGV like Cam and make him earn another shot.

    He was a complete black hole last game. But then again everyone on the team were selfish except for Reed who made some passes

    He hasn't flashed. He was worth the gamble but some people though it was like betting red on a roulette table and it feels more like betting on a single number.

    I don't like to just **** on people, so I will say he did have a couple of nice looking floaters in the last game amidst a sea of pure suckage during the rest of SL...

    SL can be kind of a weird place to play.

    I like how he finds those corners. Could be a valuable PJ shooter over there.

    If you cut out the parts where he handles the ball, he has been... ok? Not good, not a disaster. He can make a drive in the lane, he cannot move the ball up the court. Dunno how much is rust, and how much is flawed/undeveloped player. He is three years younger than Tristan Da Silva, We are absolutely stacked at the SF position... we can be patient.

    I think he's 100% capable of being an NBA starter. There's no reason why he can't be if he wants it and develops it.

    His only problem is he's only good at one kind of shot and that's the 3PT shot. He's obsessed with proving it's not true. So he takes a lot of other shots. He's not good at making most of those other shots. He has to cut down his shot diversity and work on his game off the court. He also has to commit to defense.

    I'm not sure he wants to be a basketball player as much as he loves the idea of being one. Once he figures out who he wants to be, he can have a career. Maybe Udoka can unlock that but it will take at least a year to polish his game and remove bad habits. I'm rooting for him.

    Maybe, maybe not. But I know he’s your cup of tea.

    He is an awful player currently because he is a black hole on offense. He was brought in to rehabilitate his image, but instead he seems to have embraced being an awful player. He should focus on D and 3 and making a quick decision with the ball...

    Bbiq is one of the most important aspects of being a good player besides skill and athleticism, what you just said shows his utter lack of it.

    He seems pretty bad to me. I don't think he'll amount to anything.

    But he's only 20, and we got him for nothing. I'm fine with him being the 15th man.

    I think he will be once he truly settled in. He and Robinson need the PT to really show what they can do. The problem is the microwave league of today doesn't give some players the time they need to develop. Not every player is going to take off immediately and the ones who don't are kicked to the curb.

    I think he could develop into a good role player. Not sure about a starter... but a 6-8 guy for sure.

    He's annoyingly bad. No, he can't be your Josh replacement. Pick someone else.
