PLEASE GOD LET THIS BE TRUE ;D.

When we play them, just let him shoot.

He's going to get on the court? ;) ;D
He can back up another ex Celtic in Etwaun Moore  ;D

And Jordan Crawford!
I'm bitter.

Sorry things didn't work out better for him in Boston. Hope he learned something. Wish him the best.

I still expect James Young to be a solid rotation player in the league.

Good pickup for New Orleans. Young, cheap, talented bench player.

I agree. For all the flak he gets on here he is still only 21.  There were reports in training camp last year that his D was much better, and was starting to fill out a little more with his body.  We were a very deep team competing to win so he didn't get much of a chance behind Crowder and Brown.  I wouldn't be surprised if he blossoms into a rotation player. Has a good looking shot.

NO is starved for wing players.  Let's see if he can capitalize on it.

Great situation for him, he'll get a chance in that chaotic, fluid situation down there.  I think that he can play.

Shot well in inconsistent minutes; has good hands which translated into steals. Good body, flexible hips and shoulders.

Very careful with the ball, but doesn't make plays for his teammates - ultimately, the big constraint on his minutes, I'd guess. Extremely low assist %.

Upside is something like: rotation player on a playoff team.  He appears to have only belatedly realized how hard he has to work at this level, but he's got some great tools.

Good luck!

I'm sure Ainge will be happy to get one of his more notable draft wiffs off the roster.

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
I still think he has a chance to be solid coming off the bench.
