    Breaking News Hornets sign G Brian Roberts

    http://www.nba.com/hornets/news/horn...-brian-roberts




    Roberts will wear #22 for New Orleans

    I think most of us knew this signing was coming. He will make a great backup.

    Can't wait to see what he brings to the table in actual NBA games.

    The Hornets looking to create some competition in camp with a player i watched during the summer league games..quicks ( lots of players have quicks" gutsy type who will get a true test "under fire"...lets he how he retains all that will be required of him ( run sets,plays etc)
    One upside is the fact that having another quick guard in camp enchances your defensive progress ( having to guard him etc) also help upgrade the "need to get faster.....does he stick?
    1-What does not move is dead.What has speed,and mobilty has more possibilities,more life...quickness creates luck.

    2- Your Defense is only as good as your HELP/ROTATING defenders.

    3-Games are won while the ball is in the air.


    4- You design your roster to win a 7 game series not a one game confrontation.

    Not surprising. He had a great summer league. Good addition to the end of the bench, and he can shoot the 3 as well.

    Good sign. Brian Roberts is a class-act guy and a hard worker. That makes 12 signed players including D-Mill?

    Very happy about this. Solid addition to our bench.

    He showed the most promise during Summer League. Bowles was great in the first game, but wasn't consistent.

    More like:

    Vasquez /Rivers/Roberts
    Gordon /Mason/Henry
    Aminu/Warrick/Miller
    AD/Anderson/Thomas
    Lopez/Smith/FA

    It's been mentioned that both Warrick and Thomas will play the 3 or 4.
    Just need to sign Whiteside to complete the roster now.

    He is a change of pace guard bringing grit and quickness to
    the hornets.....now let's lock down the center backup , ...denzel bowles, hassan whiteside or harrelson .....what is the limit 15 players with one on injured. reserve...

    I really don't know too much about him. The maximum number of players that we can have on a roster is 14, correct?

    Looking at the Hornets roster, There is one constant. Versatility. We have players who can play multiple positions. This roster defensively should be able to match-up well against most line-ups NBA teams will throw at them.

    Hopefully EG does not feel threatened by this signing.

    He reminds me of a poor mans Andre Miller very composed running the offense...with a better 3 point shot but nowhere near as good post game

    Lol! You never know with him.

    Overall, I think this is a good depth signing. Hopefully, he develops into a solid PG off the bench.
