Age: 24
Number: 5
Nickname: N/A
College: Cal State Fullerton

Yrs in League: 0
Previous Teams: N/A
How Acquired: Free Agent '08
Contract: 2008-09: $0.4mil; 2009-10: $0.7mil (Team Option)
Strengths: athleticism, quickness
Weaknesses: PGs are typically expected to pass the ball occasionally
Offense (Scoring & Passing)
Known as a scoring PG or even combo guard in college, and certainly looked much more comfortable creating for himself than for others in the preseason. Wants to run run all the time. Superquick and can get to the rim at will, or use the quickness to launch a three. Perhaps almost too easy for him to get off his shots, because he likes to do it. A lot. When he's hot, he's a hero. When he's not, people throw things at their TVs (and have a better chance of connecting than Bobby does). Ofttimes so interested in shooting seems to forget the passing part of being a PG, but not at all incompetent as a passer when he takes the trouble. Had a handful of nifty assists during the preseason that showed real potential if he ever has a mentality transplant.
Defense & Rebounding
Had supposedly shored his defense up after it was a real weakness in college, but struggled in preseason. Ironically it was not so much his lack of strength hindering him against power guards as it was fellow quick darts who he struggled to contain. Able to use his own quickness for the occasional spectacular play, but not able to consistently have impact. Despite lack of size looks like he may be a decent rebounder at PG, using his quickness to chase down balls ratehr than strength.
Intangibles
Spent a year in Europe where he apparently gained some strength and refinement, and took the summer league by storm to get himself a guaranteed deal. Was erratic during preseason, and will have to watch out for becoming too selfish with the ball. Figures to probably be behind Bobby Jackson as the #3 PG to start the season, but given how injury prone the two guys ahead of him are (Beno and BJax) will likely have his opportunities as the season goes on.
