    I like Swaggy, but I have to agree with Sirronstuff. I think he bugs people because he doesn't seem to take things seriously on the court at times. That said, I still find his lightheartedness appealing. I think he's a competitor, and I think he didn't like how things went down with all the losses last year. He wants to win. I'm hoping he has a good year and can contribute. If it doesn't work out then I hope we can make a good trade with/for him.

    He's a solid player. He loves playing basketball and he actually cares about winning. Yes, he's goofy, but I think the pros outweigh the cons in his case.

    Yikes. Now he's become expensive as this won't endear him to front office or Byron. Good question about his training. Guess we'll see how that goes starting September 28 with how he's looking.

    his contract is still very cheap considering where this salary cap is about to jump. I can't complain with what we're paying him

    We're not paying him that much. I just hope he's not a distraction this season.

    Nick and Lou are superfluous on this roster together. Once Lou was signed, that said all I needed it to know. He'll be shopped before the trade deadline this summer, and if we can't make anything happen on the trade circuit advantageous for our team such as getting a pick back or more likely a player that fills a need, he'll be waived during the summer next year, IMO.

    I think a deadline deal for an asset will be his fate, UNLESS we're somehow headed for the playoffs

    We have seen a lot of @NickSwagyPYoung in our gym this summer. Always great having former Trojans around & getting better!

    Yeah. And the pic of him in the training thread interview with Tim, lifting weights. Maybe he's roiding up and went into a rage outside the club the other night. [​IMG]

    I'll say it: I've loved what Nick is doing so far. Sure he lost us Game 2, but he'll probably not be in the game late during the regular season. Yesterday he played good defense and created good shots as well. He's played within the team concept and been successful doing it (outside of Game 2 of course).

    Props to Nick!

    Some ridiculous shots from Swag tonight. Good game for him overall.

    He's good off the catch and shoot, do not want to see him trying to create for himself.
