    Do we send him there or keep him with the team?

    The more important question is what he can do on the court? Anybody?

    He's a young guy who needs minutes. I think the d-league would be good for him

    </div>

    Who knows?

    In college he was an undersized 2-guard who was a good outside shooter. I might have seen him a half-dozen times. I know he's a great FT shooter.

    He reminded me a little of Rashad McCants. He's instant offense but a little small.

    That's why I said who knows?

    I can't watch the D-League. (I imagine the D-League as a place where everyone is his own individual team. The stats are kind of pointless.)

    I remember him in college. He could really score and he was a streaky shooter who could just murder you if he got on a roll.

    He has legit scoring guard skills but he's small.

    At MSU he could drive the lane, get the easy 2. He has decent range.

    His next D-League game I'll watch and maybe do a small writeup unless he plays soon.

    Mo Ager could be a steal for us, i think if we give him minutes he will develop into a nice player he kinda reminds me of MoPete

    Check out the video

    The talk is all about Devin Harris, but I do think Ager can possibly do something special for the Nets. He just needs to work hard, and show the Nets he's worth it. If we give him an opportunity, I think we'll be pleasantly surprised with his game.

    hopefully, all ive seen from him was game 6 i beleive when the warriors were blowing out the mavs, avery put him in and he scored like 10 pts in the final minutes when the game was already lost. , eh, who knows, i doubt he'll see time though unless he's a dead eye shooter from the getgo

    I can speak for many mavs fans when i say: we couldn't wait for this guy to get off the court. He usually just jacked up shots whenever he had the ball and most of the bricked badly. Who knows. Maybe he'll work on a different team. He may just need waaaay more attention.

    Ager is a terrific ballhandler and outside shooter with range.

    What he isn't is a 6'4" forward.

    I compared him to Rashad McCants. I think that's not too far off. Maybe Ager isn't as good a passer, but the size and game is similar.

    I'd like for him to at least be given a chance to show what he's got.

    If he sucks, no problem. No biggie.

    We'll the reason that its no big deal is the same reason why we can't give this guy too much time to prove what he's got: his expiring contract.

    He's a decent shooter and ball handler. He didn't get too much time in Dallas so I can't tell you guys much. Barea got more minutes than him which is sad.
