Solid addition, bit like the Cam Payne role. Knows what he does well, doesn't force passes or shots and he can run the second unit easily. Like it.

Also started 60 games next to Beal 2 seasons ago, so they should know each other well.

Much like Thad Young, he came 3 years after we really could have used him!

Love this signing. Love Monte.

If he can stay healthy he will be a solid contributor at the PG spot.

About as good as we could have hoped for.

He's +/- God

Last 4 seasons on 3 different teams, starting or bench, contender or tanking he's always plus.

If the 8 minutes of bench in each half is positive then teams have to beat us with the Beal, Booker, Durant starter minutes.

Tastic??? Rock on. Glad yer still kickin

This dude isnothing like Payne-ful. Finally a monte i can like. He’ll start adequately when Beal or book goes lame. Couldhavebeen a far worse pick up

I like it a lot. Can run the offense while Book sits, never turns it over, good 3 point shooter. Also might allow Book to play more off-ball, run off screens, and not have to generate so much of his own offense. Great pick up.

Every time I saw his name on the stat sheets, I thought it was one of the MoBros

I'm already dreading this year's inevitable Drysdalian slip ups.

4.75:1 A/TO ratio and shoots 39% from 3 for his career. Definitely about the best we could have hoped for.

The Count of Monte Assist/TO.

Haha is that his nickname? Very CP3-like in that regard. Given our turnover issues last year, that'll be a big help.

Mulhollanddrive · Post #19 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Thu Jul 4, 2024 1:12 am

Started 71 games 2 years ago.

Had more than 1 TO in just 17 of them.

This is the best nickname I've seen since Jalen DamnSon and World B. Flat.
