25 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks.

Over the course of 4 games.

He should be the primary PG off the bench, and will have some good chemistry with Brandon Rush when on the floor together. Statistically, I don't care, he's just expected to come in with his veteran savvy, inject some consistency and defense into the second unit (as well as the PG spot) and that's basically it.

He'll be a good addition this season. He has the ability to be an effective starter when necessary, and plays above average defense, two things that will be good assets for this team.

I also like the fact that he isn't a dominant shot taker, hopefully allowing for more productive offensive plays.

Signing Earl Watson was by far my favorite offseason move. ahead of drafting T-Hans too. I think he will be a solid addition
