Wizards To Sign Jarell Eddie, Waive Ryan Hollins

The Washington Wizards plan to sign Jarell Eddie of the Austin Spurs.

The Wizards will waive Ryan Hollins to clear room for Eddie.

Eddie has averaged 14.1 points on 52.5 percent shooting on three-pointers in 11 games this season with Austin.

Yahoo Sports is calling him a SHARPSHOOTER

Dude is shooting .535 including .52 from 3

THE GAME CHANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ORTG off the charts

Whats his PPA baby????

Another small forward

(6'7" 223 lbs with a 6'10" wingspan and an 8'8" standing reach) + (pace & space) = Power Forward.

Strangely enough he's listed as a SG/SF

Nah, on this team, he's a C. A Super-C, really; like a Klitschko.

Caught me flat-footed, he wasn't on my D-league radar. But!! This guy was on the Spurs radar so....

I ran PPA on the D-League last season when Eddie had 37 games played. At that point, his D-League PPA -- not a projection of what he'd do in the NBA -- was a 97. In PPA, average is 100 and higher is better. If he closed out the season playing well, he might have pushed into slightly-above-average range. Maybe.

But hey, they "added" shooting. Or something.

It'd be nice if they'd add a good player someday.

The Warriors also invited him to training camp.

He obviously shoots well, seems kinda meh in rebounds, assists and TOs.... whether or not he can pay dividends will prolly based on his ability to defense. His TS and Ortg/Drtg diff. are nice. Bodies that they are WILLING to play are helpful at this point. 7-8 man rotations are not ideal. Still want them to sign Sims.... Maybe cut Neal/Gooden when Anderson is healthy and sign Dorrel Wright when he is done with China.

Run it again for this year when you get a chance. His numbers are up this year. Hard to imagine someone with a TS% of 0.73 being below average.

Welp, Kelly Oubre is a 3/2, and his wingspan is 4.25" longer, and while his standing reach is lower, his vertical leap is about a foot higher (Kelly might have not been reaching high on that standing reach test - shame on him). Eddie at the 4 should be a non-starter, but it could happen.

He's a shooting specialist who made one third of his 2 point FG attempts in his senior year at VA Tech.

Upside potential of Cartier Martin.

Blockbuster went bankrupt. Not sure if we should be emulating their moves.

Championship!

Quick question to the cap experts... ben standig on twitter claims that we do not cut Gooden or Blair because of their guaranteed contracts... If we did cut either aren't we still under enough to sign a guy like H. Sims to a min. contract without reaching the lux tax? Or are once again foiled by Grunfeld's lack of foresight and Ted's cheapness.

Don't have time to run it on the whole league, so I just ran my estimator on his numbers. His ePPA so far this season in the D-League: 132. Better, but still not outstanding. Looking back at last season's numbers, Capela had a 200.

When I look at the inputs, I see Eddie shoots well from 3pt range. He doesn't get the FT line, he doesn't rebound much, and he doesn't get steals or blocks.

Kind of a classic Grunfeld move. Basically go get a guy based on one -- and only one -- thing.

Eddie won the 3-Point contest last year, who's minutes does he get...if any?

He was signed because Neal and Porter are out. We are very thin at 2/3 right now.

My guess is he'll back up both Temple and Oubre until Neal and Porter return.
