Jazz fan here, just wondering how you felt about Mike James while he played for the Wizards?

He looks like he has the skills to be a penetrating drive and disher, but he ends up shooting too much (though he can get hot sometimes), is a little careless, and, while he sort of exhibits the demeanor of hard defender, whatever actual skills he has in that department (if he ever really had any prior to joining the Wizards) have severely diminished.

As a 5th or 6th guard, you could do better (maybe much better) but, I suppose, you could do worse as well. If injuries force him to play a big role, you'll probably be shocked at how disconnected he looks from the team's overall game plan.

He is Mike James Beeetch

He is a warm body and what appears to be small hands which isn't great for a basketball player.
He has a big smile so you have that going for you.

He is a back up guard on a bad team and he doesn't make the roster on a good team.

Just the thought of Mike James playing for Jerry Sloan makes me laugh...One is an old school, no nonsense guy and the other is a delusional egomaniac...
