    I got an authentic swingman Christopher jersey in the back crack of my closet for sale. Make me an offer no lower than $2000. Low ballers and tire kickers will not be responded to.

    He had a what a full two seasons on a Houston team that was not good at all, seemed like a decent enough opportunity. He then had an entire year of being out of the league completely and in G-League. This is really his third chance, best case scenario he becomes some sort of bench scorer journeyman that will become available multiple times, best case scenario he is a player that can be signed if you want to pay him. These types of players are available in the league if needed, but you are better off going after guys who are a tier higher and just pay them (i.e Grimes). People are adding value in finding a guy through the draft, but in reality there is not much value in doing that with end of bench guys.

    Josh Christopher had a scissor kick on his 3 Point Shot his Rookie Year. Josh really worked hard on his shooting form.

    I am glad for him, hopefully he is in the NBA instead of the G League.

    Grizzlies and Jazz released JC so it is not all Rockets. Some bloom later, see Jalen Brunson.

    Josh looked like he was trying to be the next Kobe in summer league even when he was with the Rockets. The problem with Josh is that his role in the NBA is not to be Kobe, and it never will be.

    Being a bench scorer with Mamba mindset is not bad, Jaygup needed seasoning and years of reflection.

    All those kids need to understand that a bench role in the best league is no demotion but an opportunity.

    He doesn't have great length to be a perennial starter.

    You can't tell Miami or Memphis that summer league doesn't mean anything.

    They could actually merge In season tournament with Summer League and it would mean more.

    Preseason or Early season tournament.

    You are able to get some of the real NBA players to partake.

    Scrubs can play in exhibition games.
