I envision a scenario where you play AJG with Dame, Giannis, a wing defender, and a big, and he absolutely torches teams for helping on Dame/Giannis or Giannis/ Dame pick and rolls.

Sure, if he's in there with Giannis/Dame and 2 others. But if he's in there with Giannis/Dame/Khris and Lopez he's not getting many shots.

The struggle to get to the NBA helped hone Cassell’s work ethic. When he got to Houston, Cassell once again had to hustle to earn his minutes joining a team that had won 55 games the year before and featured future Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon as well as a crowded backcourt.
The Rockets picked up where they left off, winning 58 games and finishing as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. That meant only spot starts for Cassell as he carved out a backup role.
”It was unique because we knew we had our work cut out,” Cassell says. “Phoenix was a great ball club. Charles Barkley was amazing, Kevin Johnson was amazing, they had a lot of great talent, but we had the best chemistry in basketball at the time.”
The series went to a deciding Game 7, which was also Cassell’s coming out party. The kid from Baltimore finished with 22 points and 7 assists, helping to lead the Rockets to a 104-94 win. The Rockets went on to eliminate the Jazz in the Western Conference finals, setting up the series against the Knicks.
Even as a rookie, the spotlight wasn’t too bright for Cassell.
”I wasn’t nervous, I have been in so many big games,” Cassell remembers. “As a kid you dream about playing in the NBA Finals. Until you get there, you really don’t know what to expect.”
The series went back-and-forth leading up to the deciding game, where Cassell stamped his arrival to the big leagues. He finished with 13 points in 18 minutes, helping the Rockets claim their first NBA championship by beating the Knicks 90-84.

48inch Vert. It's pretty good but he's not going to outplay ARay GreenMVP2110 wrote:ShootingtheJ wrote:The Suns are waiving 6'5" combo guard Keon Johnson, a former 1st round pick. I'd offer a 2 way spot for him. He can get to the hoop.
Yep would much rather have him than Wigginton or Bolden
