    Is contract status one of the reasons why Gentile was picked late?

    Gentile sews up the game with a moving pick that any NBA ref would call and a push off. Tough kid, but that stuff wins you nothing in the NBA these days.

    This is awesome news to me. I figured Morey took on the hope he'd come over. Didn't sound like he was that interested at first.
