    Nice. He's 6'9", good defensive disruptor, decent shooter, athletic. He's only 185 pounds, but he could play the 4. Versatile defender, can guard 1 thru 5.

    Great move. This is what winning in the margins mean.
    Adds much needed wing depth and will have opportunities to prove he deserves a bigger and longer contract.

    Good signing. I suppose if we don't get Kuminga (which I kind of hope we don't), we now have a few young options at that spot. Hopefully one of them breaks out.

    Yeah, Sierra Canyon. Right up the hill from my house.

    Great value signing. Rob got lucky again.

    Really like this signing, low, or even no real risk on a young player with potential still, at the size and position we lack badly at. Cranjis says he’s been improving and needs a better situation

    I love this signing more and more.
    I think he and Jake will fight for the 7th/8th spot, depending if we get a starting 4. Carr may get in on that too.

    Any of them have the ceiling to be rotation players in a contender in 2/3 years. Thiero too.
    All of them in the non-Luka/AR/Kessler positions.
    It will be great to follow their development and see who pops out and great setup by the FO

    He must have been 2-3 years ahead of Bronny with the age difference?

    LOL … yeah Rob stumbled into another one…. probably from lurking here. No way he had a plan.

    Adding to our promising youth movement.. Good to see.
    Don't know much about his game, but we needed another wing defender.

    Yay! A much needed defensive minded player! I will be rooting for him to become a dependable three point maker so he can get more burn.
