I haven't seen him play since OSU days... but from what I remember... no offensive moves, just defense, transition, rebounding, and hustle. Basically a guard version of Nance Jr.

Yeah, not sure how confident I am about this signing. Not a shooter at all.

On a team with great shooting, I think he'd be perfect. Unfortunately, that's not us.

I like this signing. GPII is the perfect player to play along side Clarkson/Kuzma.

He's here as a warm body after the inevitable Clarkson trade.

He can be a decent pickup. As others have noted...could be due to Clarkson &Tyler E trades being discussed.
