Along with Sully,  Kris has probally been the most consistant , all around contributor on the team. Does move like the Captain with young legs. He is always in control on offense.

Just the summer league, not LBJ or Kobe he is playing against.

We'll see if he keeps up the good showing.

Danny/Doc  , can't help but reconize his talent.

I think Kris would be good playing beside Rondo and AB or Dooling.

The vast majority of Danny's second rounders make the final roster, and Joseph really looks good.

The guards in the summer league are horrible passers and usually shoot first.   I think Sully and Joseph and Melo would look better playing with Rajon's passing.  He makes everyone better with his passes and IQ.

I really like Dionte Christmas, he is playing like a man among boys--a strong defender, makes few mistakes...just doing everything right and playing as a big physical point here and there--I am very impressed.  And Joseph could really turn into an athletic, long all around 2/3.  We need roster spots for these 2!~

I'd never heard of him, but he's kind of intriguing.

Greek League 2011-2012 (Leading scorer for AGOR, the 4th best team in Greek league, second leading scorer in league):
26 games, 32mpg, 18.6ppg, .463/.360/.710, 4.4 rbs, 3.0 asts, 1.6 stls.

Solid line, really.

Went back and looked at some earlier stuff. 2009 ESPN NBA draft profile:

Quote
Projection   Second round to undrafted

Positives   
Good scorer
Long arms
Excellent shooter with NBA 3-point range
Can put the ball on the floor and get to the basket
Sees the floor well
Good defender
Great feel for the game

Negatives   
Not an elite athlete
Needs to improve his handle
Tries to do too much
Questionable shot selection
Needs to add strength

Jan 2 Update: Christmas made a name for himself last season in the NCAA tournament but has really turned it on as a senior. He dropped 35 points on Tennessee last week and followed it up with a 21-point performance against Kansas on Saturday. Christmas has a sweet shooting stroke and deep range. He's less effective taking the ball to the basket, but he's willing, which is a plus. Right now, he's a first-round bubble prospect. His age (he turned 22 in September) works against him. But his consistent production of the past few years says he's a kid who has proven he can score at the highest level.

Over 4 years of college ball at Temple he averaged:
15.7ppg, 4.4 rbs 2.0 asts 1.2 stls .425/.360/.777, 29.6mpg

His shot hasn't been falling this summer league:
27.8 mpg, 0.432/0.238/0.429
But he's getting boards and assists:
6.5 rbs, 4.0 asts, 1.2 stls, 10.0 ppg

...and of course as i write this he goes for 19 points in one half with 3-5 3pters and 4-4 ft's.

So if he had a rep as a decent defender and he's improved upon that, I could easily see him finding a place as a backup SG to run with Rondo as he provides shooting and can defend the SG spot. Sounds like he can definitley shoot, defend the 2 with good size, just struggles with dribble drive, but if Rondo's go the ball, that detriment is neutralized.

Thanks VT hope Christmas gets a camp invite and then a head to head with Moore should settle who deserves the roster spot.

I think its pretty clear Sully and KJ and Fab are going make this team and contribute by the 2nd half of the year. In time for AB  to get back...these 4 guys should make a youthful impact and be fun for RONDO to run em. I'm excited.

   After all,  KG wanted a new 7 foot 255lb pittbull (FAB) to train all for himself.  Should be really interesting to watch.

Not sure who will make it , Moore or XMAS... ???

Williams , JJJ, Gibson headed for D-League.

There's absolutely no way JaJuan Johnson gets cut from the roster.  I know some folks don't like him, but remember he's under contract for $1.1 million this season.
