Some of the cats I know from the left coast have been tellin' me about this cat since his days at Gonzaga. Is this dude for real? They tell me he's got a shooting touch thats off the chain. I haven't seen him play,but he's he for real or do all my Westside brahs not know what they talkin about? On a side note,I used to live in Yakima and me and my cuz often used to make the drive to Seattle to see the Sonics...but that was back in the day of the X-Man,Dale Ellis and Sedale Threatt...
This kid can shoot the ball better than anyone I have seen. He had 31 on 10/11 shooting earlier in the year (no that isn't a typo ) and has sparked quite a few Sonics runs this year with his gritty defense and ability to shoot the ball from range. I think he's done enough to earn a job in this league, he's been floating around different leagues since he graduated.

He's 26 I think, been floating around development leagues most of his basketball life. I see him as a Steve Kerr/Fred Hoiberg type of player - probably a bit bigger and more athletic, but he's always going to be a role player. He's in the league on his shooting and fair enough, but I don't think his game is well rounded enough to be anything but a role player. He has enough talent to stick around though I believe.
Yeah I like him...funny how two of the top 6 3-point shooters are rookies (Korver and Frahm)...Frahm's got a killer jumper and is instant offense...he definitely needs more minutes...
