We have enough guards…
What’s different about him?
Team suffix W
Couple of quotes I found from when they were on the Raptors:
“I think he’s played for us well just about every time he’s gone out there,” said Raptors coach Nick Nurse following Monday’s practice. “We’re always talking about solid play, which is guarding your position as well as you can and executing at both ends of the floor. He’s got us running stuff and is capable of scoring a little bit as well on his own but doesn’t overdo it. He just fits in nicely there on both ends.”
“I think that he’s a really good defender, first and foremost. He’s really done a solid job,” said Nurse. “I can’t really remember a time he’s not played pretty well for us. He’s able to make a bucket, … he’s an adequate three-point shooter and he knows how to play.”
Anyone have any info on him? He’s 6 3 and 177 pounds and about to be 27. What’s the point?
