It's a ten day, but if eventually signed for he remainder of the season he will be playoff eligible.

Daye, Baynes and Bonner out tonight, this is just to make up the numbers I'm guessing, especially with a lot of players being rested soon.

I always kinda liked him. He's a jack of all trades combo forward who's shown some flashes of being decent in the past.

He looks like an all around good player, not particularly great at any one thing. As long as he plays D and can hit open shots he should be a warm body in case of injury.

You wouldn't have noticed if you watched the OKC game but he played. The biggest impact he had was on Durant's lips when he kissed him goodbye just after the game ended.

Looks like he's along for the rest of the season. Kind of strange move, but if he is seeing real time these playoffs something has gone horribly wrong.

Agreed.

I liked him coming out of Texas, maybe we give him a shot as a reclamation project.

How does anybody feel about him so far?

Not that I expected him to crack the rotation or anything, but I kinda hope that he atleast fits the system. It just doesn't seem that way.

I see nothing about his defense. He seems to rebound well. That's about it. He gets lost on defense, but I'll blame some of that to not totally understanding it. But he simply doesn't stand out on the defensive end.

And on offense, he doesn't seem to be a good shooter. That's kinda a big thing in our offense. He's a decent athlete it seems. No ballhandling skills, not a slasher, not a midrange shooter.

We're getting an extended look at him and I don't really see anything at all from him. Hell, I'll keep Austin Daye instead of Damien James.
