I think he may have a lots of upside. 20 years old with 2.03 m. Shoot well. I would take him over Harrangody.   What do you think?

well he's 22 but i'm intrigued by the fact he's an NBA level athlete and good scorer; could probably be a decent defender at some point.

No sorry. he is 20 years old as he was born on January 1990. I looked it up!! I may be too optimistic I think he could be pierce future replacement.

No. Pierce's future replacement is not someone who went undrafted. He might turn into a decent rotation player somewhere in the NBA, but the skinny on him is that he has no skills off the dribble and no ability to move his feet defensively, and I don't think I saw anything today to disprove these statements.

He does looks very nice -- but he can only survive if he can play / guard the 3. If he can, he can make it in the NBA.

Nba.com had an error on his profile--they actually had him as born on January 1, 1900.  Perhaps you saw that and your eye tried to correct it to 1990.

Yeah I was looking at his draft card last week, and when I saw him today I agree he definitely already has an NBA body. 6'8" with a 7' wingspan? I was intrigued when I heard he was on our roster and seeing him briefly confirms that notion.

I was also intrigued by his teammate Manny Harris.

I doubt anyone is looking for pierce's replacement; we're looking for a guy that might be able to play in 30 games for 5 minutes or so.

I could have sworn it said "pierce's replacement" while it actually says "decent defender". I am an idiot  ::)

edit: Meh, I was looking at the wrong post.

Thanks for the opinion. Did Anthony Morrow go undrafted too?

He's not Pierce's replacement either -- judging by what he's shown up to now, he might be Eddie House's replacement.
