He wasn't bad in his playing time for Memphis last year after they traded away half their team. He's a shooter for sure. Weber was his backup during that time.

Looks like Weber got picked up by golden state. Maybe that explains why we didn't bring him in.

McCallum is one vowel away from being an awesome NBA player.

Well he's going to get his chance if Kemba and sessions are out. Let's hope for a diamond in the rough story

he's only the second best McCallum in the NBA world, to boot. That honor goes to Jack McCallum, of course.

I'll second this. I've always been a fan as well. He's got really nice size and could play off-guard with Kemba without the defense taking a nosedive maybe.

Squint your eyes a bit and he kinda looks like Steph. Close enough?

I was annoyed not to see McCallum tonight, but our second unit was more than fine so I'm not too annoyed about that.

I'm confounded by this whole thing.
First of all, why didn't the team pull Xavier Munford up? The guy was looking good in Swarm. Shooting 40% from 3. Performed well for MEM last spring. I understand Munford went to Europe but if CHA gave him a call up to the NbA you think he would have stayed?

Then McCallum? Honestly, his style of play is more like Sessions, not a 3 pt shooter. His jersey says DRIVE. Still, WHY CALL HIM UP IF YOU"RE NOT GOING TO PLAY HIM? when you've got a PG crisis? Really? Is the offense that hard to learn? McCallum's played for San Antonio before. You're gonna hurt Roberts' feelings? Seriously, I'm confounded.

Maybe he's getting a 2nd 10 day, and has spent the entire 1st 10 days learning the system? It's not really much of an excuse but that's the only explanation I've got.

Given how long Sessions is out seems like we'll probably get our answer.

If we don't trade for a PG and he doesn't get a second 10 day, then we just didn't like him. If he does get one, might be what you said.

If we trade for a PG, maybe we were praying that Roberts would show enough to make another team think he'd be worth trading for (i.e., he'd be playable, not like a real contributor to a playoff team).

Second 10-day will take us right to the deadline, so I'd assume we keep him. After that we'll have to decide whether to keep him all year.
