Don't forget to mention the 4.3 turnovers per game. He led the NCAA in that statistical category for the 2012-13 season

MCW is the king of turnovers. My friends & I have already nicknamed him T.O.K. for turnover king, and it's sticking every passing game. He's already committed 4 turnovers at the top of the 2nd quarter in today's summer league game against Orlando (Oladipo)

I wonder what would Tyrus stand for then?
Total
Turnoff?

(that amnesty related thread about him on Knicks board is sadly hilarious, they are mostly enthusiastic about them possibly getting him)

Charlotte Bobcats

Cody Zeller: Another year at summer league, another new Zeller to watch. Cody is following in the footsteps of his brothers Luke and Tyler, and much attention will be given to how well he shoots the ball. Al Jefferson is the mayor of the left block in every NBA city, so Zeller will need to add range and be very good defensively to make the pairing simpatico.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist: The Bobcats haven’t exactly been fun to watch over the last few years. MKG doesn’t help when he throws up that wounded duck of a jumper, but it’s wise to be patient so you can witness nasty jams like this one. He has a lot to fix, but the rebounding and defense should make MKG a valuable contributor soon enough.

Jamie Skeen: The former VCU big man may not get a ton of playing time in this setting, but perhaps that will push him towards another career. Like Antonio Gates, Jimmy Graham, Tony Gonzalez and others before him, Skeen may look into making the transition from college hoops to the NFL.

Dwight Buycks signed with the Raptors on a multiyear deal...

Some guys who I have been impressed with... who are not currently signed.

Ian Clark- excellent shooter and putting up good numbers for the Heat
Kyle Kuric- great shooter from Louisville
Tyler Honeycutt- extremely smooth
Chris Roberts- Dude gets buckets on Jazz team, no idea where he came from

With Dwight Buycks off the table, the only guy on your list that intrigues me is Ian Clark as a possible 3rd string PG for Charlotte, but I'm not sold on him the way I was with Buycks. Clark has good size at 6'3" & the ability to shoot lights out from deep. Clark shared 2012–13 Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year with Murray State's Isaiah Canaan who has a reputable reputation of his own. I like the fact that Clark was the best player on the Heat summer league team & kept them competitive despite not having any top NBA prospects on their roster

That's him in high school? Are you sure that's not a 4th grade picture?
