I wonder if the Red Claws pick him up, assuming he doesn't make another NBA roster...

Not an NBA-caliber player.

Ah Jay Snipah.  Pay Bo no mind, he'd be lucky to coach you someday, kiddo.

At this rate RJ will probably end up playing for Coach Bo pretty soon.

If he's not an NBA caliber player, I'd assume it would be the last time...

I never discount the possibility of other GMs making the same mistake with him Ainge did.

Right. I've had a million spot up shooters who can't guard a chair.

Dime a dozen.

Said here for a long time Hunter couldn't play in the association.

Right again.

And to think there were people suggesting that Hunter should be starting at the 2 for the C's just a little over a year ago.

That's too bad. RJ seems like a nice kid. He did a lot of good things on the court but he was a step slow and was a shooter that didn't shoot at a high percentage. Maybe he can find a spot in Europe or China.

Haha funny comment from the Bulls blog on Hunter being waived:

"I'd feel worse, but the dude looks too much like Matt Barnes
His biggest flaw imo"

I just came up with a great idea, we should have an affiliate team in China!

i liked rj' possibilities but he just couldn't shoot for any average even with the windy city bulls-just too thin
