    Gilchrist is a good player and he could be a serviceable back up for the Cavaliers, I say they should bring him on board if he fares well at the summerleague.

    Great situation for John.

    He certainly has the ability to start in Cleveland, it's just a matter of convincing management that his past issues aren't going to be a factor.

    Gilchrist should make the team because he is a good point guard and the Cavs do not really have a great point guard, good pickup by the Cavs.

    He could turn out to be a good player for us if he can fix up his attitude problems. He has a good shot at making the team if he impresses this summer.

    ...

    never hurts to give a guy with his talent a shot. If nothing else maybe he can develop in the NBDL?

    He certainly deserves to have a shot at playing in the leauge. I think they were stupid not to draft this kid. He will be a great asset for the Cavaliers to have coming off the bench as a backup Point Guard/Shooting Guard.

    I think this kid has the potential to be a Gilbert Arenas type player if he loses his attitude and gets a work ethic like Arenas'. He is a big, bulky guard who can score. I was pissed when the Lakers passed him over, I hope he gets his shot in the league, I think he could be a good player one day.

    The Cavs didn't have a draft pick, that's why they couldn't draft Gilchrist.
