He hasn't played a single minute yet this year. Maybe he can get healthy and play for the team that drafted him.

Not really understanding that move with 2 young capable point guards already on the Grizz. They have Conley and Lowry and both can play. Maybe injury insurance, but I have a feeling they will just let the Franchiser retire...

Speaking of the two guards, Conley had his chance last year, now they're both receiving the same amount of playing time. I personally like Conley more and want him to succeed. I don't like this splitting of time between the two. The Grizz need to just start one and keep him as starter and let him receive most of the playing time.
