    Collins is going to be really good. He will impact both ends of the court, something we can't say about any big on our roster outside of Nurkic.

    I am ok with keeping another PG like Biscoe as the 15th man, but I would not get rid of Napier until Briscoe shows he can shoot better than this:

    5 of 37 3-point attempts, and 46% of his free throws, contributing to his very poor 46% true shooting percentage, and the fact that opposing teams didn't even pretend to try and defend him on the perimeter by the end of the season, making things very difficult on his teammates. - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Isaiah-Briscoe-7140/ ©DraftExpress

    Maybe give him a year to develop?

    Yeah he needs to develop but it's not like Napier will be in the rotation either.

    My question right now who do you think going back up Nurk?

    He will if there is an injury. He proved last year that he is an NBA player. Briscoe has not proved that yet...as an un-drafted rookie.

    Exactly he's only going to play in an emergency. I'd rather keep the guy with the higher upside instead.

    As long as he proves he has upside. His 5 star rating means nothing to me. There is a reason he did not get drafted. Lot of young players improve, but a lot don't. You don't get rid of Napier unless Briscoe earns it first.

    “Useful” what like a roll of tape? Shit, draft day this place had him headed straight to the hall of Fame

    Leonard, until we trade him. But more likely we'll play smallball when he comes out, so the answer is "nobody really".

    I was trying to work out why Briscoe didn't play summer league. Turns out he did... barely. He just about averaged double figure minutes in 6 games for Philly (2 in Utah, 4 in Vegas).

    Briscoe just has that I belong swagger about him that I always look for in players. If that carries over to games (don't see why it wouldn't, he's a jersey boy) he's gonna make things interesting.
