Deuce is a beast, but is going to struggle with taller PGs, as I thought...but he can shoot, is an absolute pitbull on defense, and knows it isn't about him...great leadership attributes.
Grimes- he is a Klay lite type....still getting his timing, but he is all about buckets, and I think he is streaky more than a dead eye shooter...but we'll see. I think if he is operating with open looks he will be fine. Seems to have a good head on his shoulders.
Sims - my new favorite goon has been up and down. When he gets to put people on a poster, he plays harder. Last night, 13 rebounds and one poster. Previous game, he was behind the ball all the time coming down court...maybe it was fatigue. The athleticism of course is there. He is also strong as shit....footwork for both rebounding positioning and scoring is a work in progress. Hopefully Thibs will get him into the rotation early in the season, get him minutes to boost his confidence, then let him go tear up G-League and bring him back for the stretch run and the playoffs.
Jackabootie or whatever his name is...back to the Euroleague. The other guy's name escapes me too.
MJ Walker will probably start the year in the G-League but he should end up on someone's bench soon.
