He‘s a free agent, 25 years old, his stats after the trade to the Bulls look nice, he was defensive player of the year in college although he‘s smallish, and went to Duke like half our team - have never really watched him play, could he be worth taking a flier?
His stats in a limited sample size where 11.5 points, 4.9 assists, 0.8 turnovers, 1.1 steals on 57% from the field in 25 minutes.
I think the opportunity to start at least half a season on a really good time should be quite attractive to younger guys looking to establish themselves and showcase their skills, shouldn’t it?
Him and his brother are both names to consider. Tyus was the better player. He was one of the better backups while in Memphis. Although his stay in Washington was uneventful and the Suns fans were not crazy about him. Probably just a good backup for the right type of team.
Tre Jones is similar and is probably the odd man out in Chicago. Seems to be positioned as a backup as well.
It will be really interesting to see what the teams thinks about Brandon Williams. Was he just a neat story last year or does the team have hopes he could be a real rotation level player?
