The team will be exciting to watch when he is on the floor (hopefully for at least 20mpg).

Now for a Math problem. If Ish Smith is 2.7 times faster than Chris Duhon, and it took Chris Duhon 7.9 seconds to get the ball past half court, how long will it take Ish to get the ball past half court?

good move. dudu should have never got minutes over him. he can push the ball, hes very athletic, has good size, and a decent passer

not to mention hes a way better defender then nelson. so they can put him on the big guards

Is it possible to have 16 guys on the roster?

With the D-league, yes.

About 2.93 seconds.

From my understanding, any team's D-league player is automatically assigned an inactive roster spot on the NBA team's roster, making up 1 of the 3 inactives allowed in the CBA. So I think it's 15 only, regardless of d-league.

I like that Ish Smith is coming back.

The Magic will have to bring in one more point guard and that will give them 17.

A trade is likely involving Harrington, Turkoglu, McRoberts, Redick and/or Q-Rich to pair this roster down.

This and the coaching staff are the last things to do this offseason.

Glad we got Ish back on this team. Great move and I think he will actually flourish on this team since Stan won't cock block his minutes anymore.

Hes actually pretty small and not that great of a defender. Are you thinking of someone else?

I agree. Ish is quick and go for the steal, but he is undersized and underweight. He can easily get out muscled. He was the worst defensively of the four. But, I think Ish just need development and he will be solid.
