Why don't they just buy Jimmer out?

Random observation but did anyone else notice that Hamilton was always the first off the bench to greet the players? I like the positive attitude but you know Tyreke had no clue who this guy was that he was high fiving.

Free throws? It really has been a bad fit.

Personally, I think its good to have a guy like Jimmer at the END of the bench that can knock down FTs. A specialist, if you will.

He just shouldn't see any playing time unless absolutely necessary (obvious fouling situations).

And if he ever got his shot back he could be an asset. Hamilton gets no playing time now and when AD and Ryno come back he definitely won't get any playing time.

Former late 1st rounder from Portland that bounced around to a few other teams before landing in the DLeague. Sounds a like another combo guard.

quote:

Elliot Williams — Santa Cruz Warriors

Season statistics: 21.3 points, 7.7 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 3.4 turnovers, 1.7 steals on 46.6% FG and 38.6% 3PT

There aren’t many players who can impact a game in the multitude of ways that Williams can. The hyper-athletic guard carries the bulk of the offensive load for the West Division-leading Santa Cruz Warriors. In the process, he leads all shooting guards in assists per game and is sixth in the league in scoring. Now that Joe Alexander has parted ways with the Warriors, there is even more pressure on Williams to keep them afloat.

The biggest aspect of Williams’ game that is holding him back is his ability to consistently space the floor. He’s made just 36 of the 134 jump shots he’s attempted this season, more than half of which have come from the perimeter. Nevertheless, he’s proven the ability to create for himself and others, scoring 25 or more points in four games this season and dishing out double-digit assists in three. He uses a quick first step and long strides to get to the basket and does a formidable job of finding open teammates once the defense collapses.

That's what they need to do. Cole can play Jrue Lite well enough that there's no point in risking him not getting 100% for next season.
