Which non-roster player is closest to being NBA quality?

[Roy H.]

Amari Williams

Kendall Brown
Max Shulga
RJ Luis, Jr.
Ron Harper, Jr.
Wendell Moore, Jr.

Bonus question:  if the player you chose isn't on a 2-way, should he replace one of the guys that is?

the answer would be None.

[Donoghus]

the answer would be None.

Haha...I was thinking the same thing.

I may be answering a slightly different question, but I feel that Amari Williams has most potential to make it at some point.  He may not be the closest at this point, I don't know, he may be that too, but that is harder to judge for me.

Amari Williams has some of those "can't teach" traits that none of these other guys have.  He has the size and length of course, but he has really good hands, really good vision, and handles the ball like a guard.  He also disappears and seems completely lost out there at times, maybe even most of the time.

I am not sure what the deal is with him and his "disappearances", but with those can't teach natural tools, I see him as well worth some developmental investment.

RJ Luis, I am still not sure about.  I don't believe that I have ever seen him play so don't have a sense for him.  All the other guys seem to be exactly what appear to be, fringe NBA players at best without a whole lot of ceiling.  So to the bonus question, I have no idea.  They all seem equally underwhelming to me.

Harper?if in the right system I think he can contribute

Harper?if in the right system I think he can contribute

I think that's my pick, too.

It's interesting that none of our 2-way players are particularly close to the NBA.  It's usually good to have at least one "break in the case of emergency" guy who can play at the NBA level.
