    Is he the Dorsey of Russia, or a solid future NBA player?

    I was wondering what happen with him... I remember the first time Bev got hurt before the playoffs and it look like we were going to sign him. I thought he was done after that.

    Interesting, know Rockets were considering him two years ago.

    Regarding Delaney: Always funny to see NBA fans claiming player xy is average at this and that after watching a Youtube highlight clip.

    As a fan of Bayern, where he won MVP and carried the team, I'd really like this signing. This guy is a superb shooter with great distance and can score in a variety of ways. Strong body, can finish with contact at the rim and often able to draw fouls. Great ballhandler (the guys here that say "average" because of a video are really off, he's also pretty quick) with a killer crossover which he likes to use before shooting 3s or to drive to the basket. Also has a nice step-back/crossover from midrange. Superb passer that finds open teammates and players cutting to the basket.

    Think he could really excel next to Harden as a secondary ballhandler and off-ball shooter. My NBA comparison would be something like a taller Isaiah Thomas with better rebounding.

    Isaiah Thomas is one of the best players/scorers in the NBA. A taller Thomas would be top 10 player.

    I'd say more Michael Jordan or Scott Machado. Somewhere in between there.

    Interesting. If we don't have to get in a bidding war with NJ, I'm all for it. Can't be worse than Terry or Brewer.

    My guess is the Rockets are interested in a ready to contribute near min salaried player. 'Cause they know they'll need to spend most of what cap they have elsewhere, ie star player.
