I know nothing else about him.

A 29 year old point guard, 6'3". Was undrafted. Has been with multiple NBA teams, typically briefly, but had some big stat games with Indiana and Portland. Looks like a Cho "throw a dart" pickup if signed.

I remember his name from Indiana, he had a few ok games for them. Meh

holy **** I read Donald Sterling and wondered what the hell was going on

Were also working out Norris Cole. Webers probably gone.

It only make sense to add another PG and get rid of Weber since we added MCW. We can't have 2 backup PGs that'll shoot 20% on 3s. We need at least one that'll be above 30%.

Norris is a fit, if not the most sexy FA add. A vet, athletic, works hard, solid person. Shooting is a problem, but gets at it on defense.

For what it's worth, I'd just as soon Charlotte keep Weber.

Now, if we can only get Cho to remove his Celtics brain block and take a look at Demetrius Jackson...

In my mind Donald Sloan, CJ Miles, Shelvin Mack, and Mike James are all the same guy and ride the bench for the Indiana Pacers.

Count me as a "no" on the Norris Cole front. Guy flat out sucks at everything. Take some shooting from Brian Roberts and add some defense and that's Norris Cole. I would much rather roll the dice on Weber even if he can't shoot.

Add Isaiah Canaan to the list, probably the most interesting one so far:



Makes sense as we've got about a week left until Weber guarantees.

Ok, at least they're doing some homework this time, not just picking familiar names like sessions/Roberts

Someone stole Elliot Williams and Damien Wilkins.

Canaan is definitely a shooter, not sure on his point guard abilities though.

Canaan is a career 36.8% FG shooter. Woah.

I don't know why we're looking at NBA retreads. Why not look overseas? Even if it's only for American players that washed out due to maturity issues like Josh Selby.

Or Russ Smith. He plays in a sort of minor league in China, but he's tearing it up. I've always liked that guy. Gutsy Cardinal with mojo. The Hornets could do with some mojo.

But I'm not impressed with who Cho has brought in for workouts so far. Still in favor of keeping Weber at this point.

or if we're looking at the china league, how about Donald Sloan. Oh wait!

Full list:




Norris Cole
Donald Sloan
Isaiah Canaan
Demetrius Jackson
JJ Frazier
Marcus Paige
Jared Cunningham
Nick Johnson

Plus Quinn Cook was just released.

Jackson really stands out from that group, would love to pick him up.

Quinn Cook please, I wanted us to sign him last season instead of Roberts. Him, Jackson, or even Paige would all be good pickups.

I'm not crazy about any of those players, but I like what we are doing. I feel like our front office and scouting department have shown major improvements this offseason.

I am intrigued by Jackson and would probably prefer him over anyone on that list.
