The Chicago Bulls announced today the signing of free agent guard Stefhon Hannah (steff-ON). In accordance with team policy, terms of the contract were not announced. Hannah (6-1, 175) spent last season with both the Grand Rapids Drive and the Reno Bighorns of the NBA D-League. In 22 games, he averaged 5.9 ppg, 2.1 apg and 1.05 spg in 16.6 mpg.

There's several people at RealGM who seem to like him. He's apparently a distributing point guard who won defensive player of the year in the D League last season. I like that profile and don't doubt that there are more than a handful of guards in the D League who are good enough to make an NBA roster, if put in the right position to succeed. My first reaction was to downplay the signing -- and he's probably not going to make the team. But how much better is this than a Mike James or Nazr Mohammed signing? If your coach is willing to look at players who have basketball experience, if not in the NBA, you can get players acclimated in camp, and they'll be there for a call up if you need them during the regular season due to injuries.
I agree probably wont make the team. Probably better than Mike James, but so is Crawford. My guess is the big guy they signed, will be our Nazr.
I think that this is spot on. There doesn't seem to be a roster spot for him, but going through training camp with the team makes him a better injury fill in. He'll be one of the players I'll be watching closely in the preseason games.
