Was he an MDA inspired pickup? He's shown the ability to make PGs look pretty good.
No, he was not. Sam Hinkie chose him. Mannnnn. I wish I were in the office when that happened. I'm sure the convo went something like this.
sixers Owners: were firing you Sam and bringing in Coleangelo.
Sam: No, wait! I was just about to unleash the key to my master plan. You know that guy we cut earlier this year from our roster?
Owners: Listening.
Sam: Well, I'm going to give up 2 second rounders to get him back! He's the key to this whole thing!
Owners: Face-palm. Ok, but if we don't win a third of our next 12 games, you're fired.
Sam: (Sweating....) Picks up the phone and calls another GM... (ring ring)
Other GM: You want who? (laughing) Ish? Ish? Is this a prank? And you'll give me a second rounder for this guy?
Sam: Make it 2 second rounders.
Other GM: Why do you want him? We just cut him! Sam, are you going to cut him again just to mess with his confidence?
Sam: (Chuckles) You know, I hadn't thought of that... sounds kinda funny, but no, actually I need Ish to save the Sixers.
Other GM: You really have no clue what you are doing...
Sam: Deal?
Other GM: Deal.
