I was just on NBA.com and i seen his name and it popped into my head that he was actually a decent point gaurd, a perfect 3rd string. I liked him a lot while he was in Toronto, what do u guys think?

And if this was posted b4 or w/e my bad im not on this site 24/7

I only want him if Darrick Martin is gone. But its reported by the Toronto Sun that BC is tring to get a PG from a team via trade. I think it would be a really good thing if we just sign a guy and waive martin, so we do not have to give up anyone. (Keep Dixon for deadline, use graham during summer for trade)

Is he still a bricklayer? Because dude had ZERO jumpshot. If he had even a decent jumpshot he'd probably be on someone's roster right now.

I mentioned Barrett as a probable target last month. He's playing well in the D-league.

As for the 'bad jumpshooter' label? I'm pretty sure that there aren't any PG's around without some deficiences. I'm just looking for a guy that can play hard, move the ball to the shooters and won't take bad shots everytime he's on the floor. Or basically everything that Dmart and Dixon don't provide.

oh jeez.. he was terrible.

I remember 2 years ago when Jose was riding the bench with a DNPCD because Sam was giving Barrett so many minutes :crazy:

Who's that dude whom the Raps were interested in in training camp besides Moon? Wasn't he a pointguard?

Take your pick
The guards in attendance were:

-Kentucky alum Gerald Fitch
-Journeyman floor general Eddie Gill
-Lighting quick but undersized point guard Pooh Jeter
-Former New Orleans second round pick Tim Pickett
-Illinois star and former Knicks draft pick Frank Williams and
-Guard Dewarick Spencer, a former Arkansas State guard coming off a tremendous season with Roanne in France where he averaged 20.5 points a game.

Pooh Jeter, playing in europe I think.

Barrett is a logical choice but lets be real, he isn't much better than Martin.

thanks for the list of training camp pg's. i was following very closely.

was frank williams in our camp? he or omar cook seem like perfect 3rd and/or emergency pg's. omar had tons and tons of assists here. couldn't hit a shot to save his life but he did distribute very well.

Why do we not contact Dallas about the kid out of NorthEastern( or NorthWestern), I think his name is Juan Jose Barrea. What I saw of him in the summer league games was impressive. I do not think that his price tag would be to high and he was a true point, not a scoring point so he would not slow down the offense list DMart did last night.
