    Per his twitter...trying to find out how to post that on here.

    Interesting sign, was a top prospect coming into college. Academic issues disallowed him from playing the second half of the year. Definitely a project big man.

    My guess is not a guaranteed contract. Partial guarantee with training camp invite.

    Sounds like a scrub, probably just an extra body you need for training camp to play against

    I don't know much about him. But I can see from his videos he can block some shots, and he does it with power. He looked like he was 30 in HS.

    Hahaha at one point in the draft process I suggested him as an option. He's a hustle guy who can rebound. Very limited offensively tho. Think a longer version of trob.

    He was a top-five recruit just one year ago and went undrafted. Doesn't get much worse for him, so now let him show what he really got.

    He reminds me so much of T-Rob but Cliff's reach is elite for a PF.

    TR: 8'10"
    CA: 9'2"

    That's a huge difference.

    It doesn't have that feel to me. He was a top recruit coming out of HS. He is (or at least was) physically gifted. I doubt he was added as a practice player. My guess is they want to see if he has the work ethic to be another Kenneth Faried. (he is only 6'8") He looks raw offensively but very physical on D. And he hustles. Maybe a poor
    man's Thomas Robison?
