Well at least he is more finished product than J.Grant.
Grant cant make 3s. Justin Holiday probably have more experience on guarding NBA pg's. Height, Wingspan looks right.
I guess we'll sign Galloway anyway and that looks enough for PG rotation.

Lets see if we can get good starting SG&C.

NLR, he's the best player in the trade that you got from us.

Under-rated pickup. Plays on both ends of the floor and makes 3's like its nobody's business. Plus, he has a streak to him - a chip on his shoulder.
For love, not money.

Good young 3 and D player, Warriors didn't skip a beat when he played.

I like him a lot as a backup SG in the triangle. Looking at his numbers he is a good spot up shooter with a 1 dribble pull up. He is very athletic and has a huge wingspan so he can get up and throw the ball down at the basket in transition. He had 2 very different roles with the Bulls and Golden State the year before. It seems that GS used him more as a spot up shooter on the wing while he was more of a dirty work hustle player with the Bulls. When he has gotten extended minutes he has played well. In 9 career stars he has averaged 26 mins 12 points 3 rebounds 2 assists 1 steal 0.7 blocks 50fg% 53 3P% 77 FT%. I know it is a really small sample size but he has game.

Also since we love nicknames on this board his is The Fireman.

Bulls fan here. I'm sad to see him go. I like how he plays. He is a tough defender and is a decent 3 point shooter. He came in mid season and beat out the incumbent Tony Snell for wing bench pt. If he is your starter that is an issue, but he is adequate off of the bench.

Bulls fan here, little upset we included Holiday in this deal. He's lengthy, plays great defense, will know down an open 3, & hustle his butt off for the 10 minutes he may get. Solid 4th guard for spot minutes.

8-)
Upperclass wrote:He's the starting 2 imo. Has a mind for the game, can hit the 3, attack the hoop on occasion and has crazy long arms. Good defensive instincts. Warriors trusted him a bit in close games last year. No idea why they let him walk.


As long as he can shoot 3s and play defence am good. 20 mins of the bench guy great.

Lance Thomas' replacement. He will be a nice rotation player.

He was decent on the warriors a couple years ago, really bad for ATL in the preseason last year, didn't see him play for the bulls. It just seemed like after he lost his spot in the rotation to barbosa he lost his confidence.

How is he not a starter if he's 6'7 with a 7'1 wingspan, shoots the 3 at a high clip and plays great defense?

Seems like exactly the type of guy that D-Rose and Melo would want in the starting lineup, someone who will know their place.
