hey guys, just curious about his status with the team, and an honest eval of his attempted comeback from a near career ending injury. I saw the game live where his leg split in two and cracked open and it was the most gruesome injury ever. it's amazing that the dude is walking, let alone playing ball again. Thanks

he's lost (obviously) a lot of his quickness, especially the ability to accelerate. he's still a big PG, though, and there's no reason he can't be a great backup if he continues to build on the PG skills. he only played in 8 games at the end of the year for okc, but had a few nice ones. i think at worst he'll be a decent all purpose backup guard.

he had a nice allyoop which suggests he still has a little spring in his legs. i think he needs to continue to strengthen them back up and maybe he could possibly start and move westbrooke to the 2guard

yeah, that alley oop dunk at the end of the season was awesome. you could tell even he was excited and maybe even surprised!
