If he's in the D-League how can he be drafted?
Isn't he a free agent that can be signed by any team?
Like Jerel McNeal etc.
What's the rules for a guy like him?

He was booted off the Georgia Tech team and evidently wasn't draft eligible last year but will be this year. The old man was a solid NBA player but it seemed like it was a weapons charge that got him booted from Tech and that might not play well in SLC.
 
This is Utah.
It's entirely legal to carry an assault weapon around town.
Fans will love him.:o
 
As it should be legal....any weapon used in an assault is an "assault" weapon..what a stupid saying...

Anyway, I say yes to Rice....
 
I like his game as well. Really versatile player on offense and would be a great complement to Hayward. Would really help to have another great shooter next to him and another guy who can go off in transition.
