    He showed that tonight. I'm starting to really like him.

    Not only is he quick but can take a hit and continues to finish the play off. Looks pretty damn strong for his size.

    He finishes around the rim pretty good.

    As Clyde would say, I like it!!

    Saw him tonight. Really quick but plays out of control. He straight up fell down trying to dribble the ball up the court on one possession.

    Serviceable player though.

    haha, my bad. I meant third, behind the luscious, dark, smooth hair of Luis Scola. Head and Shoulders better get this man some endorsements. ;)

    As I expected, you guys would like him. Watched all his games with the Clippers and he really should be able to contribute to our team. Really quick, strong, good court vision and handles.
    Again shows why I hate that the majority here judges players after a few minutes, the bashing/judging after his 1st game here was a shame.

    The bad thing is, when/if kyle comes back, he'll be lucky to get any time at all.

    Looks to be a little bit out of control, but hopefully he'll settle down with some playing time. He's quick.

    He's got some major ball control issues and an elite defensive PG like Rondo or CP3 would force him into a lot of turnovers (although I doubt they would be on the floor at the same time). Those 3s that he chucked aren't too big of a concern for me because it looked like he was trying to create some offense for himself, got frustrated that his shot wasn't going down and kept shooting. Rookie mistake and one that should be easily correctable IMO.

    I love his quickness and fearlessness. Plays much bigger than his size indicates. He has been a pretty good rebounder when they get outside the paint which is an undervalued skill for guards IMO. He has also shown pretty good anticipation on the defensive end, but he takes a little too much of a risk when he goes for those interceptions. Overall, I believe he is going to be a solid backup PG for awhile in the league. Hopefully all the playing time he got in last night's blowout will help him to settle down a bit more.

    All energy, I like it though he still is too out of control and will not do well in the playoffs.

    Saw that too. He does what every young uber quick guard does, he thinks he has to be fast/quick all the time. In time he'll learn to pick his spots and be more controlled. Part of the learning curve.

    Courtney > Jeremy Lin









    Just Kidding


    He does remind me of Jeremy Lin a little though.
