oh well, who needed Jerel Mcneil anyway. Guess I better start looking up stats on him, size, length, age, that stuff. Find out what they see in him.

Dude scored like 18 points in a quarter during summer league. Is a 3D type player.

You comparing this guy to Dennis Scott?

I thought we weren't supposed to put much stock into what's happening in the Summer League.

lol. 3D = a player that has great 3 point shooting and defensive skill like Bruce Bowen.

Jerel McNeal, Jeremy Evans, Ian Clark, Biedrins, Jefferson, injured Rush, and injured Williams

Who can out-tank us?

PS: Sorry Evans lovers

EDIT: Forgot some others

Clark puts us at 14.

Burke/Lucas/McNeal
Burks/Rush/Clark
Hayward/Williams/Jefferson
Favors/Evans
Kanter/Gobert/Biedrins

Utah offered the best package, including an opportunity to compete for playing time immediately.

Better be off the bench.

On a positive note, he isn't a grizzled vet, he just went undrafted this year, so if he's any good he could be on the team for some time.

So what do you call a player that has great 3 point shooting but no defesive skill?...a Jimmer?

Isn't Clark an SG exclusively? This is rather worrisome when you take the playing time stipulation rumoured to be in the contract into account, seeing as we already have two SGs deserving of minutes in BRush and Alec Burks.

Rush could play SF and burks can play pg!!

The only thing that would have made this tank spectacular is had we signed Keon Clark instead of Ian.

Rush is better at SG from what I've seen. It just seems weird that were gonna play Rush out of position for the sake of an undrafted player.




But KOC is an expert with these diamonds in the rough, so I won't judge.

There isn't one. He probably just sized up the roster and thought his chances to get playing time were best here.

That's what I'm hoping as well. The whole Earl Watson thing has still left a sour taste in my mouth when it comes to these contractual obligatory playing-time requirements or w/e
