When they say "sign" does this mean to a summer league team or an actual contract? I assumed given its a 3 year deal it would be an actual NBA roster deal but how many guys do we have on the roster how come the Rox can sign 3 additional guys immediately?
Kyle Wiltjer is best pure shooter in this draft. Morey strikes with outlier in draft with science behind him.
Is he a legit 6'10" and how is his rebounding? I watched his highlights and he never missed a shot....
Poor rebounder, poor defender. Always will be both. But he is a good shooter, and if his shot is falling and the defense plays him as a shooter, he can do a little pump fake and make a move.

He looks out of shape in that Jazz draft workout video. He looks slimmer and slightly quicker in his college highlight video. This guy has 1 elite NBA skill already: he shoots like a boss. From his body language, you know this guy is confidently going to hit at least 40% as long as he is shooting. He also seems to be a smart player, his shot selection and shot timing look good. He understands why he should be shooting the ball, he's not just gung-ho shooting like Ryan Anderson. He is pretty bad at everything else though. Still, he's going to be a Rocket for those 3 years IMO and a very nice player to have off the bench.
You can exceed the 15-Player limit in the off-season. But we have to get down to 15 contracts by end of October

If you only watch the first video then yes he has a slow release but that looked to be towards the end of a workout. It looks like he has a pretty quick release for a PF prospect in the game vids.
I wonder what "star" didn't go in the draft? This was something Morey said but couldn't elaborate on it because of league rules.
