What is this sorcery?!?!

 

[RipCityWarrior]

That's awesome!

 

[B-Roy]

I like it.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Fucking brilliant move. Olshey is a witch

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Orlando gave up on him too soon. He's only 22 and it appears we aren't expecting to win right away - which means lots of time for him to develop.

Did we need a second thread on this...might want to merge them together

He's like the dude that keeps pulling rabbits out of his hat

Except instead of rabbits its second rounders.

 

[riverman]

I'm happy with this move

 

[Mediocre Man]

Except instead of rabbits its second rounders.

And instead of hat it's his ass

Our weakness is, no SF who can shoot. He doesn't fill that need. Bad outside shooter.

Now this is pure thievery

Check his second year when he got consistent minutes

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

His stats have gone down each year.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised

LOL! Dude, at least Mediocre Man waits 5 mins before complaining about the staff. Threads are merged, sorry for the 3min delay.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I hope so MM!
In Neil I Trust!

 

[Scalma]

He's still only 22. Like I said in other threads, I really think he just needs consistent minutes.

 

[Chrionex]

NO must have been chillin at Harry Potter land in Orlando and decided he would try his hand at transfiguration.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Went from 80 games 2 years ago to 45 games last season with a slew of DNP-CDs. Ugh. Olshey should just stick this gerbil back up his ass.

Hope so. A shooting SF means we might make .500. With no additions, I predict 36 wins. But now, maybe 41.

He's from Syr...Syr...it's just St. John's. Close but no cigar.

36 wins with a bunch of talented 22 year olds is better than 42 wins with the same group....Just sayin

Not a good sign that he gets little playing time on a dreadful team

In his defense the two guys ahead of him are pretty nice players. Harris & Gordon.

 

[craigehlo]

8.2 PER? That Allan Crabbe territory of mediocrity.

 

[RipCityWarrior]

Considering what was given up for him (mythical 2nd round pick) to take a look at his abilities seems like a no brainer
