Recent appearance at the lifetime gym

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1857356184277785&id=122412554438832

His back story

He's from Canada. Just played in the Fiba Americas tourney and played well. He played ok in Sumner league but this kid has the potential to really break out. I can't wait for training camp

I like him too but we keep on signing vets on a team that will win 33 games with or without vets.

I think XRM has a better feel for the PG role than Randle. He could be the dark horse of Training Camp.

We signed a lot of guys.... but that's why you sign them to non guaranteed contracts. The cream will rise.

We should call him X-Ray machine, he will see right through those defensive schemes.

"Pass me the ball.. eh?!"

Gaines is still here, wouldn't be surprised if he's found us a few diamonds in the rough.

He was highly ranked conning out of Canada. He came up with Wiggins.... check the video I posted. His college eligibility messed him up. If he went to college on time he would have been a 1st round draft pick.

I could see this guy making the team. I know they like Baker and they just drafted Frank... but if this kid balls out you can't let him walk away.

I was impressed by him in Summer League and Hornacek got a good look at him there. He's smart and can penetrate. Plus he's very athletic and has good size. I like him better than Randle plus I'd only keep one of Sessions or Jack.

I don't think Jack's body can make it through training camp. Can see him mentor but our new X-Man makes the team. Randle doesn't have the handle! And he can't defend well enough. Maybe he accepts a D-League spot and is back next year when Sessions is gone. I think Frank's gonna be our future starting PG for a long time though!

If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

J.Isaac got all the shine but this dude was just as good.....imo.

Will he be able to elevate his game to the NBA level? That's the question...but I've been rooting for this guy all season and was ecstatic when the Knicks signed him.

Nothing spectacular but just smoother than our other guard looked IMO. He looks more ready to actually play PG at the next level.

I like Jaramaz too, although he might need more time in Europe to perfect his outside shot. He's a tough, stone-cold killer. Does anyone know if he'll be at camp too? We're going to have so many guards there!

IDK, going to an "unsanctioned" high school. I know America is all about second chances but is it even safe to have him in the country? Unsanctioned!!

He's got a great stroke and very motivated and athletic. Let's see if he has toughness and speed. I'd rather see Dotson and XRM - trade Lee. Jack superfluous and Sessions is a vet that can stay but it play. Thus Baker, Frank,

Yup...keep Sessions as a daddy...Rotate the young guards at the 1 and 2. Both Baker and Frank are very comfortable at SG, if need be. I would also like to see THJ at the 3 every now and then.

Would like Jack if we were a competitive team, but I thought that picking him up was a bit much, especially since we had signed Sessions.

EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

I don't think Jaramaz is going to Training Camp. I believe they have the 20 spots filled and I never saw any report of Jaramaz signing a contract.
