I mean, exactly who are you people expecting to fill out our roster? You want LeBron? Wade? Maybe we can lure DeAndre? Gasol? Would that be good for you?

Honestly I'm just joking around. I really don't know the guys game. I know he's a good rebounder and pretty tough but that's all I really know.

No, I'm realistic somewhat. I know we aren't going to get any of the players listed. But I just don't see Quincy Acy as a fit for the team

He's a dante esque player that can play the 3/4.

Extremely high energy guy that's a really solid defender.

Was really well liked in NYK

Also wrote this awesome letter to his son

ETA: he was 15th among SFs at DRPM

it wasn't at you, it was at the guy i was responding to. number of people on this board who are/are going to be extremely disappointed when the Pels do "nothing" this offseason as though it's a bad thing and they forget the whole got a new head coach part.

Yep. You guys are going to continue to hear a bunch of low to mid tier names that will be cheap and add depth for yr

I see he made 900k last year. If he's a minimum contract guy, sounds good to me.

He'll be a goon off the bench to bring toughness.

He's worked on his range so there may be some upside there.

ETA: this and the aminu interest are a pattern. 3/4 guys that can rebound/guard multiple positions/can run

He's very similar to Cunningham, but looks like he has a bit more range, or at least tries to shoot from range unlike Cunningham. He's also only 24,so maybe he has some more developmental potential. This doesn't move the excitement meter, but could be a solid addition regardless.

He shoots 29% from 3. On 77 attempts.

Cunningham shoots 10% from 3 on 10 attempts

Also, Acy is a 75.5% free throw shooter for his career, and 78.4% last year. Free throw shooting supposedly shows shooting stroke and potential to shoot from the outside. I wasn't implying that he was a marksman by any chance, but just that he gives more range that Cunningham, if that's who he was brought in to replace.

ETA: 18 of 60 last season, he's basically just started to develop it.

ETA2: did you really round 29.9% down to 29% to make it look worse?
