Boat signs with the Nets

Deron just got bought out of his contract with BKN. This is GREAT news for Boat. Hopefully he keeps showing out in summer league and grabs a spot on the roster.

Boat had 24 points today in a loss to the Hornets. 8-20 and 3-8 on three's. Also had 7 assist. He played 39 minutes as the Nets only had 6 players available.

If he can continue to consistently hit that three and dish out those assists, he'll stick. Hopefully not having to be 'the guy' in the NBA will free him up to do those things.

And thinking about it, yes, he's short, but he's not that far out of the range of normal. It's not like he's Muggsy Bogues or Spud Webb or anything; he's not even Nate Robinson. One thing all those guys had in common was crazy athleticism. And Boat has that in spades too.

Scott Brooks is about the same height and he stuck around for a while.

These highlights are impressive, his three point shot looks improved and he somehow looks even quicker than he did at Uconn. I thought he would probably be resigned to a European career just because of his size but I've changed my tune, he belongs in the NBA.

That 1 handed dunk really shows off his 40 inch vert, kid is gonna make it somewhere...
