He was traded 4 times in the span of a month by NBA teams was eventually waived by the Kings. A lot of people were high on him when he went undrafted a couple of years ago. He is playing on a Spanish team with Ben Hansborogh, Colton Iverson a Celtics pick and the legendary Mike James who scored 52 in a college game as a point guard for Bobby Knight's kid's team.

I think "D-League" and "missing piece" in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Yes.

No, he is playing in the D-League, or was, his team lost in the 1st round of the playoffs.

I am all but certain we will find the go-to scorer and perennial all-star we need in the D-League.

But if you know Cy you know he been promoting Hopson since we had Owl Jefferson and Milsap.
