Saw this guy twice on NBATV SL - and looked good - was great from 3pt range and showed some ability to drive/handle - looks like he is 6'7 210lbs with 6'9 wingspan - almost made Pistons squad in 2009 - just wondering if anyone else has seem him play or knows alittle more about him - looks like a legit SF prospect and maybe worth a partial guarantee contract to get hime to TC

I remember him from the D-League season as pretty athletic but a chucker with a crappy attitude. He did score a lot in the playoffs -- mainly by getting to the line -- but I came away liking his teammate Larry Owens' game a lot better. If he has improved his shot selection and shooting from the arc, he might be worth a look.

Hell of an athlete (elite) and not much of a real ballplayer from what I remember back at Tech. Had skills and could put up some numbers, they just weren't really NBA-level.

If he's shooting the 3 consistently now and he's got a decent attitude and approach, he's got the potential to be a really good defender at the NBA level and be a nice prospect for the Spurs' SF role -- and I'm sure he's probably on the Spurs radar if that is the case.

I wouldn't see anything wrong with a TC invite, but I haven't seen enough to say he deserves anything guaranteed monetarily.

thanks guys - seems alittle like JR Smith in terms of attitude issues - I guess a big part of whether he is on the Spurs radar would be is his 3pt shot as good as it looked in SL (50%) and is he over the attitude problems
