Utah Jazz add Scotty Reynolds to Camp Roster - CHAMPIONSHIP

Not sure what he would bring to the table. Don't dislike the camp invite as he at least excels, I think, in the PnR ... but he's too unathletic and more of a combo guard.

Oh, my bad, sign him to multi-year contract and let's make it a dynasty. Move over Celts and Lakers .. here comes Mr. Reynolds. Beam us up Scottie!!

Better?
 
Sheesh, I really need to stop watching the camp invitees. I get all excited, then realize that it is impossible to keep them all. I'm a sucker for the 'Wes Matthews' stories, where a player is not recruited, doesn't get drafted, and ends up being an NBA second team type player. (I'd say all star, but there is a reason they aren't drafted)

Anyway, how many point guards do we have now? five? Oh well, as long as they get paid, I guess it's good for them even if they get cut. I'm pretty sure though that Scotty won't be on the team on opening day.
 
I wonder if teams sigh guys to camp that would emulate key players from devision rivels. I think I might do something like that to see how my likly roster guys pan out against them. Say get a small fast passer if you have san antonio.
 
I remember his nova days, how could u not if you followed college basketball player, he was one of the best players on a team that won a lot

Read up on a interesting fact - he was the first NCAA All-American since the NBA-ABA merger in 1976 not be taken in the NBA Draft

Played for Villanova. Can score, but not a true PG, for sure. Definitely not NBA SG, either. Great college player .. not an NBA guy.

This. He was exposed badly in some big college games too. Just imagine how badly he'll be exposed in the NBA.

Oh, and who knew anything about Sundiatta Gaines and Keith McCleod when they came out of nowhere to rock the league ? Have some faith...
 
The worst type of BBall player is a PG-SG combo IMO.
Too short to be an SG, too selfish to be a PG. Maybe I just have sour taste after Ronnie P
 
Who cares? Jazz always have some scrubs invited to their training camps, they all get cut eventually with Wes Matthews turning into solid NBA player being single exception. We have a saying - bomb does not fall in the same place twice - chances of some scrub turning into Wes Matthews like player are less then 0.1%.

And even in Wes's case there had to be a little luck involved. CJ and Korver were both down and not expected to play the first 2 months of the season. That provided an open spot for Wes that might not have been there had those two players (who were under contract) been healthy. So have to agree with AKMVP, not much chance of finding another Wes considering all that had to go down for him to even be given a chance.
 
Again; I don't like camp invitees, or at least I don't like how temporary they are. I understand that the Jazz likely just want to get a look at them, but they take time away from the coaching staff that could be put to use in player development for the guys who have already made the team.

Seriously tho, which of our new scrubs will the third point be? not one of them sounds like someone who would fit long term.
 
Scotty was a stud in college. He's an undersized combo guard, but comparing him to Ronnie Price is unfair. Look at who Ronnie played against while at Utah Valley University. Scotty was a star in the Big East, not unlike Ben Gordon, Kemba Walker, or Johny Flynn, but with less flash. He didn't have that one game that everyone remembered like Johny's game against UConn with I think 6 overtimes. Instead he just consistently starred on a good team in the best conference. Sure he won't be an all-star, but after watching about a dozen games of his over the years, I'd rather have him on my bench than Ronnie or even former players like Jim Les and John Crotty. He understands the game . . . he can shoot from outside . . . he was a play-maker . . . he was aggressive. That is the type of player that can be useful as an insurance policy on the end of the bench. It was a low risk move that makes sense.
