Don't know much about him. What should I know? Good? Bad?

stretch 4

Haven't seen him play much myself either. Looks to be another stretch 4- a good fit for SVG's system.

Can't find this anywhere; what's the source?

And if so, I think it's a "meh" move, but why the hell not? We're plugging Miller into Jerebko's old slot and Williams into Datome's. Don't expect anything out of him short term or long term (he is 29), but with only Butler and Tay at SF it can't hurt to have an extra body.

Marc Stein on Twitter. Now langlois. Had no idea he was the 17th pick in '06. He's 29.

And I agree with Doc's prognosis, just a depth move in my eyes..more bodies lol

Another 6ft 10 sf/pf who shoots 3's?

Tom Haberstroh of ESPN just said if the Hawks are Spurs East, the Pistons are Spurs North...I'll take it.

Marc Stein reported it on Twitter about 20 minutes ago.

I guess you can never have enough shooters. I wonder if Quincy or Shawne get any minutes any time soon.

Meh... seems like a low risk move. He probably won't see the floor if tolliver stays healthy.

Look at SVG loading up for the playoff drive... got our own new version of Charlie V :lol:

Why couldn't Dumars have tried to get shooters around Drummond and Monroe? Seems like Stan continues to find low cost alternatives that actually fit this team.

Stan makes signing shooters look easy lol

Because SVG and Bower > Joe D in the office...the more I watch them work the more I'm convinced that Joe lucked into that 04 team lol

Pistons are looking at Quincey Miller as a potential guy on a tryout whereas Shawne will back-up Tolliver now as the third big.
