    What's not to like? I know he's small, possibly slow, but he's got great control. Low turnovers. Maybe his defense sucks, but if he's hungry he'll figure out how to be effective on that end.

    Quick shot, good vision, pace pace pace.. MDmA will love him if he can stay on the court defensively.

    that's by far the best style highlight reel i've seen for a new Rocket to date.

    No matter how much we change, ISO is still going to be part of a D'Antoni offense. No matter what, his M.O. is still 'Quick Strike > Using the whole shotclock'. No matter how much the offense changes, wasteful movement will have no place.

    Shamorie brings pace to an offense. That's all I was saying. I have no clue what your point was.

    I'm okay with this. Can't expect more than that from an undrafted guard.

    because sometimes low tier/cheap signings mean other players arent coming back. also because we have no money lol and rivers could demand too much for us. was just an observation.

    looks like we got a sleeper! CPs replacement? ;)

    he looks better than canaan did. hopefully he can develop a deep catch and shoot 3 like gordon, and at least guard curry decent. if he can do those things he can see the floor. he's got sick handles, but won't have the ball in his hands to create much so he needs to practice that deep 3 on the kickout!

    He shot 43% on catch and shoot 3s last season. If that shot translates we good.

    This guy says that in another video (which i can't find) he says he's coming here for a 3 year guaranteed deal fwiw.
