    I heard he was coming to our training camp. He put up sick defensive numbers in college and wasn't drafted. DPOY in his conference.

    Very intriguing defender, trying to develop a 3 pt shot (otherwise awful on offense). He's 6' 6.5" without shoes and a 6' 11" reach. Had 11 pts, 5 rebs, 5 steals, 5 blocks in a tournament game last year. Probably a SF/PF tweener.

    Makes me think of Blakely, another scrub coming to our camp. Maybe Saunders can be a 10 minute bench player to lock down opposing wings? Has anyone seen him play or can provide more insight?

    "sick defensive numbers" - not sure if I've ever heard that before. Pretty interesting.

    Sounds like you need some english classes then, sick can be used for almost anything: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAkX1giNelsa #t=1m31s

    "Sick defensive numbers" is always "intriguing".

    His junior year he pulled down 11 boards per game and added three steals/blocks per contest to go along with it.

    Those are pretty impressive defensive numbers.

    Unfortunately, he's too thin and undersized to play his true position -- the four. Hopefully, he can add some strength, work on his perimeter skills and improve his jumper enough to develop into a three.

    This guy sounds like defensive stopper we need. I hope he makes it over T-Will and Parsons.

    Everytime someone is either signed or waived, it's gotta be a trade. :rolleyes:
