Yeah I highly doubt his ftR is going to hold up in the NBA and he's gonna have to learn to be very selective on when exactly he tries to get to the rim. He does possess some elite traits but severe limitations as well.

I don't know why they love this prototype of guard. I mean maybe they don't but they just see some clear path to becoming an NBA player there because Nowell has major swagger and is a baller period.

He's gonna be fighting an uphill battle but he's up to the challenge.

Excellent! Now let's trade for, or use the MLE for the main PG.

I love this dude, no idea about his future potential.

Nice piece for Summer League and G League, as he's a great distributor.

Of what I've seen from him over the course of his college career is that he's someone that knows his role, always recognize it, & play within it.

He sort of always reminded me of Kendall Marshall in that sense. Odd comparison, but I always felt like things could've gone a whole lot different had Kendall been developed by the Raps.

On what volume? Nobody is going to expect a sub-6 footer to consistently take shots at the rim, he'll need a middy and be a long-range threat to round out his game, since he's not going to be able to add inches :lol:

If he had that element to his game, he'd have gone in the first round.

You'd think they'd try someone else too right or is this it? Oh man

because they come cheaply / undrafted

No idea if he can Mugsy Bogues defend his way on to a NBA court but jokes aside his bball IQ did really stand out so hopefully he can. I don’t know anything about him as a defender.

Hoping this guy can find a role!

Seems like he would become a fan-favourite, especially with his elite court vision.

Don’t we get three 2-way spots?

I believe there is an NBA rule that allows only 1 undrafted PG on a roster

I believe you, you better enforce the rule

Here he is taking on Cam Reddish

Watch on YouTube

It’s a 2 way contract. Not just summer league

He’s gonna play with the big club

Wow, cannot believe he got a 2 way so fast. Not really sure we needed to be so aggressive with a 5'7 guard who will be 24 in December.

He is a phenomenal passer and has deep range but actually playing on the Raps seems like a stretch to me.

Yes but you got to act quickly before they get snatched up.

Great story but he's just too small
