    Seems like a flashy, hustle energy guy. To do list: Waive Fisher and get another big, I would have liked having Hill as insurance.

    The scouting report sounds like he's the type of player we like. Plays 100% at both ends. Jeremy who?!? We got Courtney FORT MINER!

    Hopefully he gets to be a "10 day" steal like Hayes was back in the day.

    Maybe Morey has realized that giving 2nd chances to former busts isn't a great idea.

    Trying to find that under the radar player who has never been given a chance.

    I saw him play with the clippers a couple of times and thought to myself: "this guy shouldn't be in this league"

    He's basically Johnny Flynn. Hopefully, he's more active on the boards or on D, so he can contribute.

    Like the choice...morey said we were going to look for upside and he has that...better than getting another 35+ yr old player...like guys who like to attack!

    He seems to have a higher motor, rebounds much better than his size would indicate, and shoots 40% from 3 in D-League on over 3 attempts a game. Decent enough for a future 3rd stringer.

    Yeah I remember pre-season it was like, "who's the guy with the dreads?" and then "woof this guy will be cut as soon as the regular season starts".

    Nothing to see here folks. Keep walking.

    Seriously, I recall seeing him in random Clipper game. Seems competent enough. Very small guy. If Isaiah Thomas can be useful on the Kings, this guy has a chance also.

    If his +/- is higher than Flynn's, we should be okay.

    Nice, Go Razorbeg! He is a really tough player. We will see.
