Played with Clippers last season. This season had some games with Dallas. He is a pure shooter but doesn't do much else to the extent that even with his amazing shooting he didn't get playing time anywhere. Still, I remember he had a big game last season of 20+ points. And if you saw the Pistons game last night, that 3 he hit is going to go down almost every single time. Too bad he is non-existent at every other aspect of the game. Oh, and he played for Houston previously which means he has completed his Texas tour

He's a big that can shoot the 3 and thats really about it. Looks like he might be some Bonner insurance for the rodeo road trip in case that knee injury keeps him on the sidelines.

Seen him play before but it was also garbage minutes. What looks obvious is that the guy can shoot and he has a very nice stroke. Other parts of his game is nonexistent. Atleast Bonner has the size to play Center or atleast be physical with guys. Novak is a tall skinny dude.

Did we really need another Bonner like guy with no other skills? Wow this signing makes me scratch my bald head.

Well, it's only a 10-day contract so don't make too much of it. As in the last 2 years we will likely not fill the 13th spot permanently until the deadline.
