Cho: deep class of PGs.

Never heard of him. Hope he can play.

Roberts can play, and he's cheap. Basically buried a 1st round pick in Austin Rivers on the bench in New Orleans

when i was looking at the available PGs and came across his #s about a week or 2 ago- i was blown away.. we could get him for cheap too.. will be interesting to see what happens

To be fair... It isn't that hard to bury Austin Rivers on the depth chart as a PG. they should've just drafted him as a SG or not drafted him at all.

WE HAVE COMPETITION.

 

Sources: Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies have expressed interest in free agent point guard Brian Roberts.

Lot of teams, though, aren't willing to allow an undrafted 28 year old that played in Europe for 5 years before coming to the NBA overtake their 1st rounder and make them look estupido is all I was saying.

 

But you're right on all accounts

Jordan Crawford is 6'4.

I like Roberts, I had him in my mid-tier backup's with the likes of Shelvin Mack, Jerryd Bayless, Devin Harris, Jordan Farmar, Aaron Brooks, and Mario Chalmers.

[carolina-chuck]

Is he better than Sessions?

[carolina-chuck]

18 assists in one game? Sign me up.

He's a decent-good field shooter with good range. Shot 36% from 3 last season, 39% season before.
