    Gary2Gritty shot 39% on 9.5 3PA per 36 last year, and 44% on 7 attempts the year before. And he’s willing to run into picks going 22.5 mph to draw moving screen fouls??



    How can we afford not to sign him?

    Is he our gritty, sturdy white player who brings his lunch pail to work? Many of the good teams have one.

    Ty Jerome, Sam Merrill
    Payton Pritchard, Luke Kornet
    TJ McConnell
    Alex Caruso
    Austin Reaves

    how does OP not include Rockets Legend™ in his curly-brackets-besmirched thread title?

    I wouldn't like to bring him back. He's just too limited of a player. He can shoot threes but not good enough on defense (I know he draws charges) and not much else IMO. Not a player when the expectation is WCF at minimum.

    I’d rather take a flier on an undrafted free agent that impresses in Summer League

    You don't win a championship without one. Maybe Ime can make a decent defender out of him.

    Give me Kennard instead. Best active 3-point shooter (along with Seth Curry). I'll pass on that one charging foul per game.

    Can we not try and somehow steal the real TJ McConnell? If we had him instead of Jalen last year we're NBA champs.
