Good move. Plenty of upside.

Still waiting to see what we do with our open roster spot

They traded in Charlie Brown’s higher floor for Foster’s higher ceiling, since neither guy is playing for us this year anyway. Good move, though i feel bad for Brown, who could make a roster somewhere.

Foster has some great looking highlights.

I’m very happy to keep him on a 2-way because his potential is exciting. Could be a high impact PF in the league if he reaches his ceiling.

I feel bad for Brown as a hometown kid but he stinks. He was absolutely a case of a big fish in a small pond kind of scenario. He looked like a more exciting prospect for us than reality because we had the worst group of wings in the league.

MFJ is 2 months younger than Banchero.

Guess that means 1) Banchero is a bust at #1, 2) we rock at sneaky offseason acquisitions, or 3) both 8-)

Great to have him on a 2-way contract. I think he'll do well and earn a permanent contract soon enough. I base this solely on viewing a single highlight reel, so you can put great confidence in my prediction.
