Feels like we've signed him like 5 times.

I like the signing he deserved it after last season. He always seems in control and has a lot of potential to improve his game. He'll be a good break glass emergency if we need him.

Surprised he couldn't get a team like Phoenix or Miami to take a chance on him as depth piece with a real roster spot.
Nothing to complain about him being on a 2 way from me.

Good for us. He's better than Frank I think

Theo is 5/29 from deep shooting this year.

He is also the 2nd worst player in the NBA by WAR and Vorp.

Imagine Cliff has to start to move away from him until he can make an outside shot.

don't worry he will replace him with a far worse player whenever Frank gets healthy

Frank is an awful shooter, but even he is better than Theo.
He has a higher career % and he has never shot worse than 25%. Theo might shoot 16% for the year if we keep trotting him out there.

So when do people responsible for having two pathetic players of this level for reserves get held accountable?

:lol:

Yep…that’s what I thought.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

I don't think we should roster either one, but Frank is arguably the least talented offensive guard in the league. He shoots a really low volume, and only got passable 3P%s with Luka Doncic getting him wide open 3-point looks. If we actually give him the ball (which I believe Clifford will), he goes right back to his NY stats.

The fact that this discussion is even happening is kinda the point. we have no less than 7 players who if they were waived tomorrow, I wouldn't blink. That is so many wasted roster spots.

Theo been out of the rotation for last 2.5 games, Clifford is clearly seeing how much he is killing on offense.

Assuming health, when we tighten the rotation we're not gonna see Theo, Thor, or McGowens.

The 4Ms are an excellent group to build around. Assuming we can keep Miles (big if), we're close to getting real good real soon.

He just can't shoot. Maybe he goes to Europe and comes back Exum like in 3-4 years.

I'm a bit surprised they waived him but to be fair he's been pretty poor this season.

We'll probably sign him to the Swarm and bring him back again for the 5th time.

Disappointed. His jumper needed work but he checked all the other boxes. Was a high level playmaker with a high IQ. Just the type you want to develop on a 2way. Someone else will pick him up.

Mensah is not an NBA caliber big.

As predicted, he's been promptly claimed of waivers...Phoenix
