He would be great as he is a great shooter with the possibility a broader game to come, but he falls under a rookie contract so I don't imagine the dispute producing a trade or lasting that long. Or if he has has some issue with memphis because he doesn't like the team or city, he probably will have worse feelings about Utah.

I read from some Twitter, Chad Ford maybe, that Memphis refused to do the standard 120% of rookie scale contract.
I have no idea why they'd do that.

Frankly I'm surprised more teams don't do it. The rookies themselves have virtually no negotiating leverage.

So does this make him available or is this just something the Grizz will eventually work out?
They just gave MAX to overrated Gay, and are pinching pennies on a rookie deal. Pathetic.

No way the grizz dont sign them, they are just going about it in the dumbest way possible. They have his rights if he wants to play he will be a grizz this year.

eh? A 2 guard with a 6'11.25'' wingspan and 8'9'' standing reach is HUGE. I'd love Xavier, but it aint happening.

He'll likely be listed at 6'7'' (he measured out at 6'6.5'' in shoes pre-draft) in the NBA, which is plenty big for a 2 guard. You don't defend with the top of your head anyway, and that 8'9'' standing reach is more appropriate for a 3 (or even a small 4).

ya but wingspan is overrated by people..That is great size i never thought he was that big..We can probally both agree that this was a kid who should have stayed in college atkleast another year to show what he can do..Agree?

No, especially since there's a decent chance the 2011/12 NBA season will be canceled (and salaries in subsequent years will be slashed).

If there is a lockout I wonder if it will be of 1994 MLB epic proportions? If it is, it will hurt this game for years to come.

What? I only listed his wingspan and standing reach to show that he's far from undersized. Dude's a big 2.
