He also has the most fun dunks and he hangs on the rim every single time and NEVER gets called for it. You will like him on your team!


I am surprised the Raptors did not hold onto Bembry. I liked having him as an emergency ball handler when PGs missed time due to injury.

Defensively he was great,
On offense he struggled and made some turnovers that were pretty ugly but all and all for a guy we had on the books for less than 2m a season he got plugged into a lot of different roles and was serviceable.

As a toward the back of the bench guy, you will be happy with him.

He earned it. He played out of his mind after Kawhi went out.

Scottie Barnes is going to do everything Bembry did and more. Thats the thing about Scottie, he basically saves us 3 or 4 roster spots because he can take on 3 or 4 roles.

Average Defensively, meh on offense - but that was probably because Raps asked him to do way more than he's capable of.

he is no consolation prize, he was likely going back to clippers with or without demar, they didnt use an exemption on him, they could have signed demar with tax mle and still resigned reggie, i think reggie was just looking to see a team that could beat the maximum offer of 11ish per year from clippers.

Solid defensively against opposing guards, really fast so he’s good on fast breaks, but struggles in half court since he isn’t a shooter and doesn’t have the size/handles to really create his own offense, more of a cutter or straight line driver.

Solid big with good hands, size and touch. Had great chemistry with Scottie too, maybe he'll be a future FA target ;)

Wait a sec, I'm confused too. Everything else said 12:01pm, but 6pm makes sense since there's been no fireworks yet


I smell something fishy here. There is no way Reggie Jackson settled for just that. This guy must be getting at least another $20 million under the table somehow.

Not many teams have cap space, and I don't know if he wants to go to OKC

I agree, but there have a been a couple of terrible contracts given out this offseason. Reggie Jackson was the Clippers' best player in the playoffs after Leonard.
