    so what is special about him?? hes not a playmaker, likes to leave his feet and when making passes and takes dumb shots. from everything ive read and seen he will not be a good nba player, even he knows that otherwise he would have already been in the nba.

    And you know all of this because of YouTube Highlight mixes? Ever occured to you that you could make a ridiculous shot and weird passes Mix for every player in the world? These Highlights are never representative and are not intended to be scouting material. Watch full games before commenting on a player's game.

    Personally, I don't know enough about his game. But one thing I am definitely sure of. Morey and the rest of his crew knows more about player X than this whole board. He has a team of people who does nothing but think basketball 24x7.

    In addition, I am sure your same the question was asked about PB and CP. If they say he is good enough, I would trust their knowledge above anybody else here.

    We've got to get him, if just for the fun of all the spelling changes.

    At least we need someone who has the potential of matching Harden's beard in the back court.

    What if I told you there's much less L's in the spelling of his name. Maybe even non. For the last ~6-7 years this guy's names was bothering every time I saw it. I've heard a ton of versions how it should sound. I'm sticking to the one where you don't spell any Ls, because in spanish 2 Ls means J (yo without o). Juj

    I'm in the same boat... KPap, VSpan, a couple I'm sure I've forgotten.... always supposed to these huge upsides - that never even break into the rotation...

    I hope the guy is the real deal... but I'd be happy if his draft rights were used to sweeten a deal for Lowry or another NBA proven commodity... then match PBev or get a Barera type player...

    Llull is going to be a very underrated pickup for us. He's not the kind of guy you give the ball to and tell him to score.

    But what he will give you is someone who is a very good ball handler, passer, intelligent player, and someone who looks to attack.

    He has had issues finishing at the rim through contact (probably because of his size/frame) but he gets to the rim. He can attack and do a very good job making great passes from his attacks to the rim.

    Hopefully his 3 pt shooting translates. He's not a star, but we don't need a star to win it all. We need role players to compliment and round out this team. He fits exactly what you want from a role player. If it means giving up Brewer I do it. Llull is the kind of player you need in the playoffs, whereas Brewer will have have a bigger impact in the regular season
