I was watching his highlights for the Remix and he looks even better than he did last year. I really think he deserves a contract in the league because of his motor, athleticism, defensive intensity, and he has shown some playmaking chops. He had this BEAUTIFUL behind the back pass on a fast break where he was going up for a layup and did a not look-behind the back pass for a dunk. Very high level read and he is averaging 6.5 assists in the first two games. Only thing he is missing from being a legit role player is a jump shot but I think he will make his way onto our regular roster at one point.
I like that we are going after these bigger defensive minded guys like Minaya, Rupert, Camara, Jabari. I like that Mays and maybe even Reath have been solid pickups… I want us to be an organization that has a true identity that runs from our regular team down to our G League team. Looks like the first two games we won, we were playing very hard on defense which has been great to see this year from Billups guys, I am glad we are seeing some consistency there.
Wish we had some more breakdowns for the GLeague because I think we do have some interesting prospects on there. Interested in if Conditt can turn out to be something. Rupert is shooting decent from 3 and is rebounding well. I am glad he is getting reps.
Are we a factory of players yet?
