My understanding is that Coach Will Wade is recruiting him to North Carolina State as we speak to utilize his unused eligibility.
This would be awesome.

What I saw on twitter is that the league has moved away from guys like him… that’s the analytics era doing their thing

I always thought he looked and acted like he had a touch of the tism. His rainman thing is just getting buckets.

There’s a role for him as a Vinny Johnson type, just couldn’t see him getting playoff minutes on a title contender

And a coach who refused to correct him and fed into his mindset

And if he played for McMahon (LOL) he’d be working at Mervyn’s right now you absolute gobshite.

Ball hog, doesnt make the team better, bad defender, bad teammate, went from starter to the bench. Undersized shooting guard.

he can score, but he is not worth it.


Im pretty sure this is not breaking news. Lester has been telling us this for years.

Why can't he just come back to LSU and finish his eligibility?

Because of his defense, or lack thereof. But I would like to see the Pelicans give him a shot. At least he can shoot.

Yal forget the dude didn't play his sophomore year of high school because him/mom were at odds with the high school coach.

Also remember when some poster said Thomas > Murphy?

He turned down 2 years/$30 million from the Nets to play on a $6 million expiring deal. It’s not quite Schroeder or Nerlens Noel, but he’s cost himself some generational wealth type money.

Players like him and D’Angelo Russell have no value. The guys that “score the points on bad teams”…are players nobody wants
