Funny that this should happen right after somebody reported that you can now assign 4 players that you cut in training camp to the D-League...
Pressey in an effective scoring PG, can be a very good option as 3rd PG. Olshey makes amazing moves, bringing underrated, under-the-radar players.
Yep. These two contacts (Presley and Alexander) are guaranteed only if they make the NBA roster imo. And they most likely won't. They either really surprise us and make the team or we keep their rights when we send them to the D-League. Works for me.
@BobbyMarks42: 2 nice pickups for POR today in P.Pressey and C.Alexander. Pressey should be able to compete for backup minutes. Big upside for Alexander
Presley does come from good basketball stock. His father was a helluva good defensive player and is now a coach. So I expect his kid has a high basketball IQ. But Paul Pressey was 6'5" and Phil Pressey is 5'11". The elder Pressey must have married the shortest girl he could find.....
Well.....I was trying to be a little more PC than that....but I'm sure it was a hot little garden gnome....
