So he's Meyers Leonard?

So he's Meyers Leonard?

Pre-Streaming, so at least we know what we're getting into. Once he starts playing COD on Twitch we can cut him.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Is he untouchable?

Where did you want to touch him?

Is he a young Kevin Costner?

I watched this guy in person when he was at UCLA, and he was so good. But he wasn’t the stereotypical tall skinny white guy. He was actually good on the boards and preferred to score inside rather than launch threes. He was also a plus passer. Idk how he is as a player now, barely watched him in the NBA, so hard to make any sort of judgements on his future. Seems more like a project for next year.

 

[BlazerBeav]

This is literally the missing piece, right?

 

[PCmor7]

I wondered what happened to Luke Babbitt.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I'd rather have TJ Ford.

His father was a pretty good player in the Euroleague in the 80s and 90s.

2 way contract? How does that work right now with the g league situation?

That’s what we used our last roster spot for?

 

[wizenheimer]

so, a 2-way....that means they can still sign RHJ..right?

 

[Minstrel]

T-Leaf.

He can have an elaborate mug-swirling celebration when he does something great, like he's "reading the tea leaves."

two ways don’t count as part of the active 15 man roster. I doubt Leaf will be spending anytime in the g league this season. My guess is he’ll practice with the team and provide depth as he can be active for the remaining games. I also believe he would be a RFA if they give him a qualifying offer in the summer, but not 100% sure. Could be cheap depth for next season.

I like this.

Low risk, high reward type of signing.

 

[MickZagger]

He can put the ball through the hoop. Dead eye shooter. He lit us up with the Pacers once.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

I like Leaf over Blevins in a game of 1-on-1.

no joke, I think even Yim could take Blevins.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

Ain't gettin' none a my minutes.

Agree on the risk part.

What do you see as the high reward?

 

[THE HCP]

I see no mentions on here of his dad.

At this point I wouldnt be surprised if we traded for Justin Jackson over the summer.

What about Shawn Respert?

he just got released and we have an open roster spot...

He rooms with Blevins.
