honestly, never heard of him. but judging from the stats in that article, he seems like he could be a great bench player.lets just hope he brings a lot to our team.
Heat just keep signing undrafted guards, most of them will probably go to the NBDL, one might stay on the roster.
^^That's good though so they can develop and then make their way into our rotation year by year. Pat Riley is sorta running this team like a small market MLB team, get as many prospects as you can(through the draft) so they can develop into great players.
yeah, i like the idea, he gets solid nbdl guys that can develope into something *cough* vincent grier *cough*, instead of older scrubs
^^lol I like Grier a lot I think he could help us a lot on defense around his second or third year in the league.
