He'll likely see some playing time behind Clarkson if Lin is still sick.

Is he the 6-6 guard? If so, nice. Getting some size in our backcourt.

If he isn't, meh. Doesn't hurt to try out some players for the next couple of games... Would've preferred a forward though.

I would have preferred Jamal Franklin, but if this mean less minutes for Lin and Ellington, i´m all in.

I like how we're scouring the D-League for talent. That's where a lot of lottery picks end up and it seems like we're doing OK with it.
Hope we keep it up.

After Dwight left Mitch and Jimmy have worked a lot on their small game. Part of it was the new CBA, part of it was their cap space plan. But considering we know they can swing for the fences to me this has been the most encouraging thing the past few years.

Yeah, I think they're going to shut JC down a bit. Development is great, but I think we want that pick.

Guess they signed him to replace Ellington who apparently got injured and will be getting an MRI for a mild shoulder separation.

Would've preferred Jamaal Franklin or Vander Blue to take Ellington's spot

I'm surprised Jamaal hasn't gotten a bigger look from teams. He has a lot of tools that NBA scouts love in a player.

Buycks is the quintessential "adequate" guard from what I can remember of him. I don't remember much about his game, other than nothing in particular seemed to be his calling card, other than height.

I believe so too. I mean, do you think next year's draft class will have this much talent? This is a very top heavy draft class. Especially with the big men. Towns or Okafor along with JR would be really nice!
