    I haven't heard a thing about this guy since his signing. Anyone know anything? His college stats show he improved over time. He is listed as a 6'7" sg/sf and seems to have solid shooting mechanics. Anyone got anything on him?

    Athletic as all get out. Good shooter. Good defensive potential.

    I think the rap on him is attitude and brains.

    Agreed. The guy is confident to the point of being delusional & hasn't played very smart in the past. But he can shoot & is a stud athlete. If he can score at the NBA level he may be worth a roster spot.

    Yep. I remember when he said he was the best player in the draft easily during his interview

    Is this the son of Dennis Hopson?

    I believe he's an NGtd right? If so, I doubt he's here by the time the season starts.

    Nice stroke. Reminds me a bit of Rashard Lewis' form. Actually, nice skills overall and athleticism is definitely there. Maybe this guy can be Von Wafer 2.0 with a little more IQ.

    I am secretly crossing my fingers hoping that Morey doesn't move Hopson until we get a solid look at him in training camp. In my opinion (very opinionated too, don't forget it), Hopson has Gerald Green potential. Dude can flat-out shoot the basketball. Don't know if any of you realize it or not but Green was like around third in the league last season in made 3's. Hopson reminds me of Green in so many ways. But dude can flat-out shoot the long ball, at a high frequency clip.

    I wouldn't worry at all about losing him, morey seems to find role players like no other gm can
