he seems like he plays a little like a mini-Melo on the wing/post.

Looks mostly like a 3 pt shooter but also has post moves. Maybe nice if he ever sees PT.

Love that Grunny's thinking out of the box with the PP and CC signings.

I guess it's a good idea to load up on some trade assets.

Quick release. The only negative I see is that he doesn't elevate that much on his shot attempts, might have trouble getting his shot off against quality defenders. Copeland looks like he plays with a chip on his shoulder which will fit right in with the kind of team Grunwald is building. |

not sure if his game will actually translate in the NBA game.
Looks like a Novak with a Al Harrington/Melo shooting/scoring mentality. I guess if you spread the floor with with 4 shooters, he would open up the lane. He looks very frail, doesn't look very mobile, athletic, quick/fast, or strong. Can he defend a position, rebound, and take contract would be my biggest concerns. Doesn't seem to have a very good handle and the ability to blow by his man, it would be a lot tougher in the NBA. He looks like will be more of spot up shooter, role player, like Novak, and have a lot of adjustments to make in the NBA. Really hard to tell, if he can find quality minutes, until we can see him vs better competition. |

Chris Copeland G 6-8 224 Mar. 17, 1984 Colorado/USA Okapi Aalstar/Belgium R
Interesting that we had our first Summer League practice today and now Chris Copeland is signed. I think a non-guaranteed contract but haven't heard the details. He must have impressed Woodson. From the highlights his jump shot is a bit awkward. But they all go in. 100%. The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

Goes in line with our "now is the time" philosophy. He is an older player with overseas experience. Much shorter learning curve, and you don't have to wait for him to mature physically, either.
Interesting jump shot- does not get up too high, but the fall away motion gets him clear. A bit like Dirk's shot, in that aspect. Hope he works out. Maybe an instant offense kind of player- who gets more time if his shot is falling- if not, you sit him. Definitely someone to watch in SL, since it would seem that we are already committed to him to some degree. No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities- C.N. Bovee

How about comparing him to a guy like Lee Nailon? Pure scorer, extremely dangerous when hot...

He was bigger than all the guys on the floor so it's hard to say what would happen with a hand in his face but with that slight fade I hope he'll be ok. Looks like he need to work on going left, is a bit of an iso guy, and has to work on finishing around the rim. But looks like a nice, cheap pick up and a good practice player at the very least.

Hit 57% of 2pt shots, 44% on 3′s. - those are good numbers.
