Denzel Valentine

At best he could be great Bats insurance.

At worse if we lose JLin to FA then I see Valentine as an amazing replacement as our back up PG/combo - who might not drive as well as JLin but strokes the 3 ball like a champ - and can play next to Kemba.

I think Baldwin would be a perfect fit for this team. Excellent size at the PG spot (almost 7' wingspan as a PG!), solid passing skills, great athleticism, can shoot the three, young (just turned 20 in March)...sign me up.

Korkmaz's name just sounds like the reaction to a boneheaded play.

"Furkan Korkmaz..."

Thinking Baldwin here as well, and I think Luwawu should be added to the list next.
