I know he is not perfect but I really wanted a player who constantly drives to the hoop to put pressure on opposing teams defenses. I am glad to finally have one.

Me too. Burke was that early on, but you're right its been a long time coming.

showed both strengths and weaknesses. His drives are terrific but his defense is an issue and put him in early foul trouble. Shot needs work.

I agree. Really like having Jordan on this team. I wonder if they would do a Reddick like deal with him if things don’t work out in free agency.

I appreciate a simple layup at the rim. Mudiay's herky jerky layup attempts were a source of agony for me, especially when they didn't go in.

we are better with the new additions no doubt about it. My only fear is that our draft position might suffer
There is quite a cluster of bad teams around the bottom 3. One win changes a lot.

Yes although the new rules might make it better because the bottom 3 have same odds so even if we end 3rd worst we still have a decent chance

Showed the positive effects a pg that takes to the ball to the hole and put constant pressure on the defence can have on the team....Got to the rack with ease, finished above the rim and on two plays, drew the defense in and kicked it out for wide open jumpers. Only saw one ill-advised shot...Dotson, Kornet and Knox will benefit tremendously playing alongside Smith...

Would love to keep Jordan especially if we win big in free agency...

Not scientific, but I look at the way Perry/Mills are amassing first rounders, shedding cap space, adding talent. Believe the BBall Gods will be more willing to look our way, than the old way.

That was good. The question is his defense and can he develop a better shot. Still I liked what I saw

So frank is out then?
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

We are due for luck. However the Cavs always seem to win the lottery when they are bad

No...Frank is a utility guy off the bench...He has the ability to back up both guard positions and if the other team goes small, can get some minutes at 3...
