Dudes seems like he could be our best wing defender. Might be a little too aggressive pressing quicker guards, but I like his intensity. Dude could not be screened tonight. Nearly knocked West down fighting through a screen. Really refreshing seeing that after watching Burke and Burks become chalk outlines every time a screen happens.
 
I liked him too... I get what the front office sees in him. The other trial guys i just didn't see it.

Yeah, a lot of D-League guys come in and understand they have to be aggressive and give effort on D, but look super outmatched against NBA talent when doing so. I didn't get that feeling from Baby Sap. He can hang.
 
Elijah looks like he belonged physically-- especially on D. He really can't shoot from outside so he was doing Tony Allen style cuts that worked sometimes and screwed things up sometimes. He did drive to pass several times. At 27 he isn't going to magically find a jumpshot. He seemed to pass and defer to a fault as well, but I expect that might have been nerves. As an emergency wing player we could do worse.
