I would like to see the Spurs look at this kid for a #59. I suspect he might be a bit of a rough gem. His stats have been Rajon Rondo'esque (although he is older). Comparing Reb/40 pace Adjusted, Ast/40 Pace Adjusted, and Steals/40 pace adjusted and FG%

He clearly has the athleticism (his Rebounds as a PG show it). He's reportedly a committed and tough defender. He really is a true PG, with a .91 A/FGA ratio and a 2.83 A/TO ratio. He is not however, a shooter.

He offers a decent shot at a real backup PG, rather than a converted SG. Which at 59 is good value.

6'7" PG? Get him to put on some more muscle, and he becomes an instant matchup problem for 25 or so teams. Probably worth a draft-and-stash.
