    Ya, in a round about way. They need bodies to bang on and go against our stars right? Them playing in games is as much a showcase for OTHER teams as much for us.

    Yeah, but if he could learn to shoot, then this Briscoe Kid could become a friend of mine...

    I am a big Olshey fan, but I'm still annoyed that they brought in RJ Hunter into our summer league when we needed a PG. If you're gonna sign Briscoe to camp, why not sign him to SL to see if he can play point? Why did Pat play PG?

    I'll tell you who he's like, not saying he is as good but the same type of player, Andre Miller.

    You can't show an embedded video using this format, you have to use the regular link

    I wouldn't count him out by getting that 15 spot on this team. He went to Kentucky as a point guard he got the handles and court vision to play at this level. He strong going to the hoop and he play pretty good D. The thing about him he is strong and if he needs work on his jump shot that what's practices for to work on weakness. Napier is in his final year of his contract why not sign a player that will take his place for next year.

    You say some wild things but I actually agree with you here. Somewhat. Miller was never a good defender. Earlier in his career he was decent, but Briscoe profiles as an above average defender. From what I've seen though their bball IQ and frames are similar. Still, if he even has half of Millers career he'd have beaten some major odds. I do like his chances over Goodwin though, who's more talented but not as smart. I see a little Lowry in him (the young Lowry, not the All Star version today) Big body, tough, reads the game, finishes at the rim, struggles with shot.

    Goodwin and briscoe are 2 different players and it going depends if they trying to replace Crabbe than you have to lean Goodwin but if your trying to find a point guard that can run a offense then you have to lean Briscoe.

    They better not be trying to replace Crabbe with Goodwin because they're different players. Wilcox is closer to Crabbe. They should just go with whoever the better player is. Or leave the 15th spot open if neither really impresses.

    Naw he's Lowry thicc, meaning he uses it to bully guys, especially when finishing at the basket. Felton was just fat to be fat.

    I can totally see the comparison, but he's not as good and definitely a project.

    Makes me miss Dre.... a lot

    The best part of this video is the scene of Harden practicing his flops at the very end. He's in mid-season form already.

    Yes they are different players Crabbe never attack the basket and Goodwin attact the basket but also see that Goodwin look to score when he has the basketball in his hands something that Crabbe had little problems at times in the game. But Crabbe is alot better 3 point shooter than Goodwin. But that why you have training camp and we don't know if Olshey going bring more players in.
