    Yeah, but he played pretty well against us in the Playoffs last season when Westbrook went down.

    Plus, hasn't he hit the 2nd most three pointers in NBA history? How can you go wrong with that guy.

    Signed -- The Wrong Reggie.

    Wait what? Both of those styles forces the defense to collapse inside (dribble penetration in GS) and Inside-Out (Here). He will get open shots here.

    No reason to think why this won't be yet another solid cheap signing by Morey.

    ^ What stands out to me here is for whatever it's worth, he led the Bobcats in best on/off court differential -- and as Clutch already pointed out in his article, his time with the Warriors was far more productive offensively.

    This could be another ridiculous bargain for the Rockets if he can repeat his sophomore year in terms of efficiency.

    Is that James Harden's brother? He sure shoot and move like James.

    Doesn't matter how you get open as long as you're open... And the Rockets may still run some with Howard. Will probably have to because there are several running teams in the league.

    I like Nick Young, but for all we know, he won't take the minimum. And really, he shouldn't take the minimum until the day before the season starts, because he can probably earn more than that.

    Don't let his time with the Bobcats fool you, he can shoot and ball for sure. Guess this signing means the end of Anderson though.

    I usually trust Jonathan Givony's (Draftexpress) scouting more than any of the other publicly available resources, he's definitely not a fan of Williams:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Little remembered fact: Reggie Williams played in Europe already. Averaged 12.5 ppg in 30 minutes (22% 3P) on a bad team in France in 08-09.</p>&mdash; Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) <a href="https://twitter.com/DraftExpress/statuses/106006336763985921">August 23, 2011</a></blockquote>
    <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Shocking development here. No one could have seen this one coming. RT <a href="https://twitter.com/TheHoopsMarket">@TheHoopsMarket</a>: Caja Laboral and Reggie Williams part ways</p>&mdash; Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) <a href="https://twitter.com/DraftExpress/statuses/140126496336519169">November 25, 2011</a></blockquote>
    <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Sure, Reggie Williams can make 3s. But so can a lot of other 6-4 guys who would play for the minimum. They might actually try on defense too</p>&mdash; Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) <a href="https://twitter.com/DraftExpress/statuses/147095536535740416">December 14, 2011</a></blockquote>
    <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Every time Reggie Williams was asked to play real basketball (France 2008/2009, Spain earlier this year) he failed miserably. Big red flag.</p>&mdash; Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) <a href="https://twitter.com/DraftExpress/statuses/147102399809597441">December 14, 2011</a></blockquote>
    <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    And this was before his stint with the Bobcats!

    The other interesting thing about him is that in college, with the shorter line, he never shot better than 32% from deep. Now certainly there's shot selection involved here, but if you're looking for outliers, those 2 years with the Warriors/Skyforce look more like the abberation.

    I really had hopes for this guy two years ago when he left the Warriors, but I think that James Anderson is just a better player in pretty much every regard.

    Got a beard, then he can be Harden's double, making other teams think Harden is still on the court.
