Someone might, but Fredette would have to take a pay cut....

I think the issue is that he's a 13th man who plays like he thinks he's a superstar.

Precisely. He seemingly has never gotten over his college hype

His inability to defend quickness or size is probably a bigger issue than his shot selection

Dude can flat out shoot tho

Seems like the complete opposite of Smart. Can’t defend a chair, is selfish, and is lights out from anywhere outside the arc

He's IT 2.0.  better at shooting but worse at attacking. About the same defense. Idk how his passing or handle are like

He's got a good career going overseas.  Did he say he wants to get back to the NBA?

In Europe, there are 50-100 guards that are better than him.

Pass, he is simply not a very good or consistent NBA player that being said, I don't think he would be much worse than Wanamaker.

I know im beating a deadhorse here but this guy can score! The way NBA is now with all this 3 point shooting, he should get a chance with someone

I'd be open to the idea of trading Rozier for a center and signing Fredette. But as Liam said, he'd have to take a pay cut.  I bet he's making a lot in endorsements in China too.  Didn't Marbury make a fortune over there?

I think (hope) the jury is still deliberating on Wanamaker.   The most condemning evidence against Wanamaker might be how immediately useful Shane Larkin looked last year.  Larkin was a perfect 3rd string PG, giving reliable minutes when needed.  BW gives no indication of that so far ... but it is early.

I don't want to see Wannamaker until Gino is dancing. Based on how this team is playing I don't expect to see Gino for a while. The small sample size of Wannamaker from the preseason made me rename him Wannalarkin.
