    I honestly would be more surprised if he didn’t play and make some sort of impact. And since it doesn’t look like Otto Porter or anyone else is getting bought out before tomorrow’s deadline, I’d also be surprised if he didn’t stick the rest of the season. Maybe even beyond.

    Stotts needs to find a damn way to utilize one guy on the floor that doesn't shoot at a time. Integrate some more movement and cutters and have one of him and Jones on the floor at all times. We could hide things a lot better if 2 of Powell, RHJ, Jones, and Covington are always on the floor and Melo only plays with Nurkic and as a small-ball 5 with Covington and RHJ out there.

    It was for longer than a cup of coffee. He played for 4 years and averaged like 45pts a game.

    RHJ was a team mate of Powell in Toronto so might be some good chemistry there on team defense.

    How is this guy different from Derrick Jones or Evan Turner? Why does Olshey get a player who can't shoot, and can't play in the Stotts system?
