NO.

NO.

I was reading a little bit about him and it sounds like he's a pretty good ball handler and can bring the ball up. So he could be valuable in the sense that we could use him at 3 positions and it would eliminate the need to get a third point guard. I think LB likes to have players who are versatile and can play multiple positions.

We'll see, if he plays well at camp and LB likes him, then why not? Also Larry probably feels he can make him into a better player.

You guys are also bringing Antonio Anderson to training camp.

I don't mind Antonio Anderson. He was the next best thing on the Tigers last year behind Evans.

Joey's not near a good enough ball handler to take preasure off bringing the ball up.

He's got a good post game for someone his size, but doesn't really get to use it a whole lot. Solid rebounder at SF. Good transition player, and was starting to take the ball to the hole a bit better last year. Has a decent midrange jumper if he's open, but for some reason he needs to take a dribble before he shoots, and cant catch and shoot.

His weakness's are that he's a poor defender, with poor lateral quicks, Very bad basketball IQ, poor handles, and gets lost in defensive rotations.

Honestly I don't really think he's a LB type of guy. LB afaik likes high IQ player, that play good defense, and are multi-talented. Joey's pretty much the opposite of that.

An interesting player for sure. If he could shoot the three ball, he'd be the perfect player opposite a scoring PG. He has size to play multiple positions, and is a great defender.

Good thing we aren't considering bringing in Joey to camp. Now do you know anything about Stephen?

thanks for the info mnwi. hope things are going well for you. always enjoy your input.

Nice catch! I'm reading his response (without realizing he's talking about the wrong player) and I'm thinking Draft Express (where I read the reports on Stephen Graham) must have some dopes writing for them.

I've always liked his ability to create space then dish off to team mates for easy baskets. He seems to have a pretty high BBIQ - although he does get tunel vision at times.

I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him in and seeing who out plays who between him and TMNT.

AGAIN..WE NEED A BLOODY POWER FORWARD!!! WHY DO WE KEEP LOOKING AT SWINGERS????
