The guy has played for the 66ers all season. In 40 starts he has played in the 2010 D-League All-Star was averaging 20.7 points, while shooting 50.3% from the floor, 7.2 assists, 2.3 steals. He will probally split minutes with Weaver for Harden usual minutes. Thi kid should be fun to watch in OKC.

I thought this should happen
His shooting abilities hopefully come to great use

Not a Thunder fan (first, anyway), but let me chime in about this kid being fun to watch. I was at the D League All Star Game, front row this year, and he put on a show late in the 3rd quarter. He lives for the fast breaks, and loves to attack the hoop. Seems like he's very athletic, and should be a great addition to what is slowly becoming the NBA's most dangerous team of the future.

Great pickup for you guys.

Can't wait to see him contribute to the thunder by scoring and letting our players get some rest.

Why are we bringing him up? Is he going to replace Kyle Weaver?

No he will probably replace some scoring that is missing with the loss of Harden

Shakur is unlikely to see the court, he was signed to a 10 day because Antonio Anderson's 2nd 10 day contract expired. They couldn't keep Anderson without signing him to a guaranteed contract for the remainder of the year, so they dump him for Shakur who they will probably keep for 20 days and do the same thing.

He's a tweener who is too small to guard most SG's. He's become a much better shooter in the D-League than he was in college, so we'll see where this goes.
