    Yeah..I'm curious what exactly he is doing to leave teams so quickly... and why teams keep signing him anyways.

    I would probably use the term "played" very loosely. But yes... curious to see what his deal is and why keeps leaving teams.

    He probably looked to have the same kind of potential as White. In a way, he is as mentally challenged as Royce White, just differently. Seriously Morey needs to spruce up his character metric instruments.

    Unfortunately character and levels of crazy can't be quantified like points per possession or plus/minus impact on the court.

    He's the type of locker room presence that transcends linguistic and cultural barriers.

    TWill was a beast on 2K. Iggy like.

    Too bad it didn't work out with the Rockets

    True, but these red flags should alert the Rockets from going after let's say Upshaw.

    I thought he had potential to be a very good 6th man. Like Thunder James Harden minus the J but better attacker/finisher. I was wrong. :(

    i was kind of high on t-will for a bit, not to the extent as 'free t-will' though. i really liked his athleticism and passing ability, i thought he showed a lot of promise.

    although, someone made a good observation awhile back which i think was true. he does a lot of things good, but not great. he's a well rounded player, but he doesnt really have a skill that particularly stands out as exemplary.

    I do not mind humble mental patients, but guys like TWill and Royce were narcissists.....

    Those guys put themselves over the team and have extra demands without fulfilling 30% of their 'so great potential' which is of a mediocre NBA talent.

    I do not trust in Morey with those decisions
