I know it didnt get much headlines but I'm happy we brought Xavier back into the fold. If he can stay healthy he can be part of the rotation next year.

"Xavier earned a spot on our team last season after being a training camp invitee, and we hope he continues the dedication to improving he has displayed for us thus far,” General Manager Mitch Kupchak said in a statement. "When healthy, Xavier provided our team with an offensive punch, and we expect he’ll strive to add to his skill set and become a well-rounded player."

2nd unit of

Nash/Clarkson (hope we nabb Sessions for the minimum)
Henry
Swaggy
Boozer
Davis

Thats a solid 2nd unit right there. Meaning we shouldn't need to have core players playing heavy minutes if we can stay healthy and gel well together

If he stays healthy he can be a starting 2 guard in this league soon. I hope he develops well this season.

I think that's out of the question until he improves his shooting drastically... otherwise that team would most likely be bottom 5 in the league

Beggars can't be choosers, at least he is better than Smush Parker.

he's decent slasher and ft drawer, despite his terrible ft% for a guard.

So he can draw fouls, but he's fragile and can't make FT's. That doesn't seem worthy of his hype.

I just hope he works on staying consistent, whether it's a away game or at home just stay consistent. Obviously easier said then done but that's the biggest thing he needs to work on.

Number 1 priority for Xavier is to stay healthy. The 2nd unit is looking very nice right now. Very underrated.
