6-9 Point Guard????

Well there are so many complaints here about a short guard rotation that Joe decided to address that constant complaint.

My thoughts exactly. I saw that he was a combo guard and went straight to highlight videos. Off the bat I noticed he wasn’t 6’4 or shorter which prompted me to see how tall he actually was. He’s essentially the poor man’s Ben Simmons.

Considering the pick is top 55 protected, I'd say he is a VERY poor man's Ben Simmons. And that isn't exactly a high bar anymore.

Funny I initially typed “VERY” as well but deleted it because of the player Ben is today.

He increases the average height of our point guards. So there's that.

 

[BankTeller]

Haven’t seen too much of him. I’ll say, I’m way more excited about him than I was about Cam Reddish or Kevin Knox.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I bet he is waived is less the 30 days to sign someone who was waived today / or in the coming days ....

He’s a name on a waiver form

 

[Ed O]

Swish! It's one in the hoop for the Blazers.

 

[maxiep]

Man, the Remix are going to be amazing!

 

[maxiep]

Just a hunch, but this move smells like a Mike Schmitz deal. My guess would be that he sees something in this kid and he's worth a flier to see if he can make the leap.

Put him in Coach. Let's watch Dalano rack up a double double vs. Pistons tonight.

His name kinda sounds like a flashy drink. “Hey, I’ll take a Dalano Banton on the rocks please.”

What’s a Dalano Banton?

Two ounces gin, one-half ounce creme de menthe, one-half ounce sweet vermouth, and a dash of aromatic bitters, shaken with ice and poured into a chilled 4 ounce cocktail glass.

Idk why but I was thinking it sounded like an Italian pastry or something.

To me it sounds like a particular breed of chicken.

"The three hens are Rhode Island Reds, and the rooster is a Delano Banton."

I’m sure they got him just to keep Sharpe happy. Rumor has it that Sharpe was going to walk if they didn’t put another kid from Canada on the roster.

 

[AquaXI]

I think Cronin wants us to be Celtics west.

You making stuff up?

Does he need an interpreter or something?

Missing a Tatum and Brown
