Also another pro-tip, avoid the days the Lakers are playing.

That was fast....

No PGs for summer league... or..... did we draft our Point Forward ?

Stepping into a far bigger role, the 21-year-old point guard has averaged 10.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game emerging as a productive option in his first consistent action in Brazil's top league. Helping Paulistano make it to the playoffs with a 16-12 record, De Paula and his young teammates went on an improbable run to the Brazilian League Finals where they pushed a far more experienced Bauru team to a decisive fifth game, but ultimately came up short.

For all the strides De Paula has made, particularly with his decision-making, his physical tools remain perhaps his most interesting attribute as a prospect. Among the tallest point guards ever measured in our database, standing 6'6 with a 7'0 wingspan, De Paula towers above most floor generals, giving him the versatility to play/guard up to three positions at the NBA level, while also possessing decent athleticism and a solid frame.

But of course Houston signed HIM too.

We will probably just end up using some of our NAZ team to fill it out. Maybe it will give us a chance to see a lot of Bender and Jackson's passing.

Watched him closely here in Brazil. He's pretty bad. Doesnt know how to use his body, cant turn the corner on anyone, super stiff.
Yago (18yo PG with sick handles and shooting - 5'8" at best tho) might be our best prospect over here.
