Seems like he’ll help promote a defensive mindset during practice, which is about as much as you can expect from a two way player.

Pretty freaking athletic too, the kind of guy you take a flier on and hope he some finds a serviceable 3 point shot.

On the bright side he can actually shoot. I saw parts of a game, can't remember which one couple weeks back, he did have like 4-5 3's in a game and that already better then Ennis :)

No. Far from it. He plays defense.

Also moves well off the ball (and into the air). After 30 seconds of play my eye test said he's our second best defensive PG after Ball. And he's a good cutter on offense.

If he can get us some stops, he can win us some games. If we don't get stops we stand no chance.
