    A 23 year old 6'6 wing? I mean you can't really have too many of those kinds of guys but with Jalen, KPJ, Brooks, Eason, Tate and Whitmore all getting minutes in those 2-3 slots I don't see a lot of room for him to make the team.

    Its just a camp contract .... he's just a warm body to take up a few reps in training camp.

    At best, he'll be converted to a 2 way

    I guess people can be negative about anything, even a momentous occasion for the franchise

    If you're being serious, then you need to have a long hard think about how the NBA works.

    Tip:
    NBA rosters = 15 + 3x2way players

    Training camp = 20 +

    So for every single team in the NBA there is the option to sign 5 exhibit 10 guys and see what they have got

    his hair is similar to Jalen and Head Honcho, so this is a legit signing. We all know who is jacking right now!

    Look at the size of Morrison #24. If the guy we signed is 6’6” then Morrison has to be 6’11” 275# => built like a truck. Looks like he belongs on the Texans. If he can just set screens/picks, rebound and cover the rim / paint on the other end then he is the answer. Goodness that is a big man.

    I expect all those guys to be cut so Obiesie can get the minutes he deserves
