He averaged 10.3 points per game last year. Thats all I know from my brief research.

Taken from another blog:


Well-sized for a PG, but not a pure PG. A scoring point that can ballhandle but is not a natural distributor. Can shoot well from 3, and has a good off the dribble pull up off a screen. Is not frightened to take it inside, can and will finish in traffic surprisingly well. His 3's almost all come off spot-ups, he's not big into launching 3's off the dribble- out of his range. Is a decent, not great spot-up shooter. Definitely one of the more athletic backup PGs in the league, but not particularly explosive. Quick, fairly strong. Not a chucker, even in GS system, will pick spots fairly carefully. He's spent very little time as the only ballhandler on the floor, by virtue of GS's system loving to overload forward spots with ballhandlers. His ballhandling is adequate but not above average. No advanced dribble repertoire. Makes simple passes, mostly to perimeter shooters. Not turnover prone, but has not had enough responsibility to prove it a trend. Would be best to play him with one of Rose or Brewer at all times, unless he really impresses in practice.

Defense: It's all crap in GS anyway. Will do anything for a steal. Is fast enough and savvy enough to get some, but really sacrifices position for it. If he's not overplaying the lanes, he's not playing much D. Will go under screens too much. Doesn't foul too much, because he does not contest all that hard. A lot of these are bad habits that have to be broken, but he's athletic and savvy enough not to be a liability on D if the team stresses it.

Sounds good to me.

I like this move - good combo guard who share minutes between the point and the 2.

Cheap deal too ...

Yeah I like the deal too. The money is nothing...and I'd much rather have him than an Earl Watson or Earl Boykins type. He can actually shoot. I'm quite pleased with these minor moves. I'd almost rather have Brewer than Reddick (although I'd probably rather have Reddick than Korver)...I think they're picking up solid guys at reasonable prices that should be able to fit into Thibodeaux's system. I like their depth right now, just need to find a backup big guy but that's likely going to be a piece of shit anyway from what's left to pick from.

I liked Watson a couple of years ago. He will be a good back-up for Rose. What's next?

The only other thing they still need to do is sign a back center. They got about 4.5-5 million left under the cap. Im thinking it's going to be Kurt Thomas. Im intrigued with the idea of bringing in Shaq, but I don't think Shaq would accept a backup role.

He probably figuers there is a starting job out there somewhere. He'd probably be right, but it's going to be for a horrible team....

I'm not sure they're going to spend a lot to get another Big like Shaq. They really like Omer Asik who they brought over from Turkey. I think they find a cheap, big body and call it a day - somebody who can give you 6 fouls when you need it.

I've never seen him play (beyond Youtube highlights) but he seems like a Euro Joakim Noah. Good shot blocker, runs the floor well, will score on garbage - not much of a refined post game. Doesn't quite have Noah's high energy and killer instinct, however.

Rotation:

Rose/Watson
Brewer/Korver/Watson
Deng/Korver/James Johnson
Boozer/Gibson/James Johnson
Noah/Asik

Wasn't Rashard Griffith playing in Turkey? maybe his corpse is still there

I think they punt on the center and sign a guy like T-Mac or Josh Howard.

I just saw this hilarious comment on a ESPNChicago.com article:

Quote:
i dont see this as a nice pick up for they could have resign pargo for the same amount as watson. it lookos to me that they are just filling in the spots with people who is bench players and not players that want to honestly take the team to the next level


Did this person see Pargo play at all last season? He isn't a guy that would take you to the next level, unless you consider the next level to be the NBA Draft Lottery.

Well it lookos to me like you dont know what you are talking about. Pargo is teh bomb.

Right...agreed comments like that are useless

However, it it strange/funny to me that someone would have ENOUGH knowledge to know about Pargo to make that comment but yet clueless enough to make that comment, if that makes any sense

So what you're saying is that Jannero Pargo or maybe his mother posted those comments on the ESPNChicago comments section?

Just read the article now and thought this was amusing:
Quote:
"I know that he's a defensive-minded coach," Watson said. "I heard he was one of the top assistants last year. It's going to be fun to play for him. I'm not sure what style or anything that they play, but I'm just excited to get out there and play and to play with a great team and a future playoff team."


So...he just signed with a team and he has no idea who the coach is and doesn't know what style they play

I cant believe I forgot about this before, but how about bringing in Brian Scalabrine? He can knock down the 3 and could split minutes with Asik at Center. And he would likely take somewhere near the minimum. I say do it.

Yes! For the comedy value alone...a thousand times yes to Scalabrine.

Crazy redheads always bring a wild card factor. Non Irish redheads even moreso.
