Jones does interesting things to our team. As a starter, the team's pace was through the roof (~100 PACE) and blew teams away with Perkins and Sefolosha out. I think it's worth exploring.

Roberson at SG was even better, something like +24.7 points per 100 possessions with Perkins and Thabo out, and +14 per 100 possessions with just Thabo out. DRTG (< 80) seems unsustainable but still.

I'd try both before going to something new, and definitely before trying out Morrow.

I would also,
but our starting center name is Perkins.
So I would gladly start Lamb or Morrow because I think it makes more sense

Scouts are very torn on rather or not he can handle PG. He's more of a combo guard. However, Presti loves that type of PG which is why he was a perfect fit for OKC. He's very much in the mold of Reggie. Interestingly, Russ, Reggie and Semaj all had the same height and wing span when drafted. Semaj would have ended up a first round pick if he had gone back to school another year. Just like McGary would have been a top 15 pick, maybe top 10, if he hadn't tested positive and had to leave this year.


Pretty sure Russ is 6'7 wingspam, and Reggie Jackson is 7'0 ft.

He'll come off the bench and get about 20 minutes per game. Basically will get Fishers minutes - he's a guy who can't create, play defense or rebound - but hell make more of his shots at a much better percentage. Great pickup.

I know PJIII is out of position at SG, but at least he isnt a total offensive liability. Roberson needs to start shooting at least 30% from 3 before he starts seeing time at the 2 in the starting lineup. Last year he was at 15% and just totally laughable on that end. Looked better in summer league, but well see.

Love this signing. I've wanted Morrow on this team for several years. This guy can flat out shoot the basketball. He'll be perfect in this offense. We should torch teams with him in lineups alongside KD and Russ. Assuming everyone is healthy next season get ready for large amounts of garbage time with KD and Russ sitting lots of 4th quarters.
