    Why's that? Napier just replaces Roberts and if we're lucky gets 10mpg

    Funny how people were calling him the steal of the draft that year because he "knew how to win" coming off two national championships at UConn.

    i just hope he plays in summer league so our other guys have a decent pg.

    His max vertical is only a couple of inches less than Evan Turner for comparison of athleticism. What is different is his wingspan is well over his height where Turner's is almost identical as his height. Of course they play different positions but if you're not that athletic, I'd like some wingspan to help cover that.

    I don't. I'm just trying to figure out how you came to that theory.

    Napier can handle the rock and real good set people up and quick as shit. I think he will play in the summer league. He didn't look bad in his rookie season with Miami.

    I saw Napier up close last season when we thumped the Magic at home. His 1-9 shooting performance was memorable in it's sheer absurdity and lack of self awareness. I know it's tough to judge a player by one game, but the fact he was just given to us for cash shows he's Nolan Smith-level trash.

    I saw him in the Summer League and play for the Magic. He's friggin terrible! I think he's just a cheap replacement for Roberts. Man even Boris Diaw just got traded to Utah. We're so far behind it isn't even funny.

    No, he is a downgrade over Roberts.

    The most plausible place would be to Brooklyn for Brook Lopez.

    I guess I was thinking of Shabazz Mohammad. But I suppose the name Shabazz is still a name sake of the Tribe of Shabazz.
