You know how when you don't draft a good guy at one position, you end-up picking-up a bunch of "potential" guys, hoping that one of them pans-out. It is likely we don't have a good PG on the roster. I'm all for try-out everyone we can find until someone sticks.

Exactly. Let's make sure to change directions frequently to avoid giving anyone rhythm and ensure the tank

I don't know much about Felder other than what I've read today. However, the fact that he was dumped by the Cavs and Hawks with seemingly little interest from other teams tells us about his value around the league. I'm not sure if your comment was more anti-Dunn/Grant or pro-Felder, but it seems likely Felder won't be a long-term piece.

Nate 2.0

Good move. I predict that Felder will be better than Dunn.

Little interest? He was signed the day he became a FA.

I like both Dunn and Grant but at this point I'm not dead set on either being a lock for the PG of the future. Grant seems like a decent well rounded player without much potential to get better. Dunn is a lock down defender who doesn't really do anything on offense, so his potential is probably Average Level offense to go with elite D which would make him pretty good.

Felder? He's wayyyyyy faster than Isaiah and Nate, and has a 44" vertical, which is the 2nd highest in NBA HISTORY (or so I hear)...

He avg 27 and 9 and 2stls in college. (Not to mention a 32 PER) (I could send Dunn and Grant to college right now and they wouldn't be able to do that)... 48% from 2, 39% from 3 / on over 6 attempts per 40, and 85% from the line...

He can shoot, he can get to the whole, score at will, he's a great passer/playmaker and scorer, he's not a ball hog, he's not a ball stopper, super athletic. And on top of all that he somehow is still a good defender! (Although I really don't care if he plays D at all if he brings it on the other end)

I know basketball fans everywhere get uncomfortable when you compare the new guy to an established superstar.

But I'm looking for a flaw of his where I can say, "oh no there's no way he'll ever be even half as good as Isaiah."

And I can't find it...

I agree, he definitely could.

I hope that he gets an equal opportunity chance to compete for it...

I think actually Felder was Hoiberg's pick and he might be solid for us...

Eh he might end up being a niche guard off the bench if nobody can stay in front of him like IT.

I just wanna see Payne cut. He's not worth the cost the launder his uniform let alone $3m+ next season!

I just hope Chicago can get him on a cheap 4 year deal

Hoiberg just happened to check the Bulls facility for point guards the other day. Sure enough....

Well I'll say he's definitely the best ballhandler and shot creator we have right now while Lavine is out.

Nice move. If this makes the FO cut Cam Payne.. that alone makes the move great!

What I meant by that is he is so little valued around the league that no team was willing to give an asset (even cash) for him to the Cavs or Hawks. Of course, that doesn't mean he won't be good, I just have low expectations.

He has two years left of his rookie contract.

Between Dunn, Grant, Ryan, Kay, AB - if anyone pans out as a great player over the next couple season, I'm thrilled. I think they all have potential...someone just needs to realize theirs! This is exactly what the FO needs to be doing during the tank. The key will be to develop/vet them in a way that gives one guy at a time enough time to take a step forward, but there's at least 2 seasons to cycle through guys.

Its his size that makes him undervalued, guy had a freaking 44" vertical in last years combine. The second highest in the combine history, so its not like his size will be that big of a disadvantage as he surely can bounce. And his skillset is quite good, wouldnt be a surprise if he could evolve into a IT'ish with a defence if given playtime.
