Injuries throughout his career have really hindered his athleticism. He used to be a highlight reel with his crazy shots. He's very inconsistent as a shooter and can be a black hole on offense at times but he was like the only other guy who could create his own shot outside of Donovan, and when he's on, he's on. I'd say he's a #8 or #9 guy on a team which is sad cause he used to be capable of much more.

Was really disappointed in his shooting during his brief stint with the kings, not that it was previously great: i thought with his size and ability to handle the ball he could have provided some value for backup PG duties, but he couldn't really facilitate anything offensively either. He ended up getting virtually no PT as 2nd half of season come to an end

Since Memphis traded Kyle to the Suns, we could resign him now I believe.

Nigel Williams-Goss signed a 3 year deal with the Jazz. He was a second round pick a couple years ago before heading to Europe for the last two years. Looks like the Jazz are confident that he's ready for the league although I'm sure it's a two-way contract.

The Jazz thought NWG was ready to bring over because of how well he shot the ball. His 3 point percentages range from 38-50 in four competitions over two years. The Jazz also liked his high assist to low turnover rate

League sources: signings of Ed Davis, Jeff Green and Emmanuel Mudiay will still be a bit delayed because the Jazz are not finished reworking the back end of the roster. Expect the jazz to sign at least one more player and very possibly two

One note on Derrick Favors: New Orleans was his preferred destination when it became clear he had to move on. The Jazz did their best to accommodate that when that was communicated to them. Good business on both sides

Classy move by the Jazz.

Yeah, those are pretty damn tight. I think I'm copping a pair of the black and white ones as I can't really do the flashy colored ones. I do like them all though.
