Cats looking at Malcolm Thomas

[murphman]

Marc J. Spears: Forward Malcolm Thomas, the only free agent on the All-Summer
League team, getting solid interest primarily from ATL, CHA, CHI and LAC (http://hoopshype.com/twitter/media.html)


Undrafted from the '11 draft, he played three games for the Spurs last season the spent the rest of the time in the NBADL. He had a great summer league mentioned here:

[ND22]

A hot prospect that hits the boards hard and can be signed for cheap. Go for it.

[isguros]

He played for the Spurs, sign him.

[Mustachio]

Sounds good. "I don't usually pick up summer league free agents, but I'm gonna go with my instincts on this one"

[Black]

At this point, sure, why not. He had a very impressive Summer League on paper.

[SWedd523]

Isn't he the gut who played with Kawhi in college?

[Black]

Isn't he the gut who played with Kawhi in college?

Yes, for two years.

[spectre]

This is more like it.

[DashGlobal]

sign him! defense and rebounding.

[SWedd523]

Yes, for two years.

Then I like him, I watched a lot of SD state two years back and obviously was a fan of Kawhi (as you longer term members know) but I remember the tall dude standing out as well. Didn't know his name til now but I like him

[kitch0202]

This is precisely the type/sort/kind of player we should be rounding out our roster with. Don't know enough about the player to comment on his quality specifically, but absolutely this is where we should be looking for third string players. If he pans out then great, if he doesn't then no damage done to our salary cap moving forward.

Now if he can rebound well in the NBA there's going to be room for him in our XV. If he also has a burgeoning back-to-the-basket game and can defend his position then sign him up longer term.

[Scrapper1]

Cool... another thing, there has got to be much better players out there than Cory Higgins. He is a guy that would come off the bench in the D-League. Rod Higgins forcing his son on the team is lame.. He sucks. Time to build a respectable roster.

[ammofan]

YES YES YES! Sign this guy. I was thinking he was under contract already. Super athletic, great rebounder, can run the floor...play 3+4. Perfect fit here.

[TheBeagle]

Have heard of him (couldn't remember his school), and though I didn't even look at stats from SL, I want him badly, if for nothing else than it means we won't overpay for Landry.

[Twan's Kin]

If we strike out with Malcolm Thomas, we can go with Plan H by giving Vernon Macklin a call of Pistons fame.

[Clutch]

Superb athlete, can provide run, rebounds and blocks.

Good fit (for cheap) off the bench.

[CamoAmmo35]

Remember this dude at SD.. A dog on the boards. Sign him. Anythings better than Tyrus

[CamoAmmo35]

Cool... another thing, there has got to be much better players out there than Cory Higgins. He is a guy that would come off the bench in the D-League. Rod Higgins forcing his son on the team is lame.. He sucks. Time to build a respectable roster.

Yup. Higgins is straight trash. Get rid of him

[DY_nasty]

What about giving Larry Hughes another call?

[Maal]

I refuse to get excited...... :/

[ND22]

Stephen Graham?

[ziggy]

Stephen Graham?

Tamar Slay?

[CamoAmmo35]

Tamar Slay?

Bernard Robinson?

[SWedd523]

Seriously guys?

Jake Voskuhl.

[Black]

Sean Singletary?

[QC Thundercats]

What about that one guy, it was ummm... Dominic... uhhh....Mcsomething or other...:confused:

[Mustachio]

Tamar Slay?

Oddly enough.... I think it was yesterday that Primoz Brezec (yes I follow Primo on the tweetsmachine) Tweeted about him and Tamar Slay hanging poolside after some game in Italy. Bobcats WORLDWIDE!!

[Proudiddy]

I see your Hughes, Voskuhl, and Slay and I raise you Lonny Baxter.

[ammofan]

If Higgins somehow makes this team before Thomas I'd be mad.

[SWedd523]

these poor new guys have no idea what's going on in this thread

[DY_nasty]

I think Darius Miles deserves another shot

[Scottley Crue]

Is Theron Smith busy?

[isguros]

If we only could sign one of those players, we're going to have a deep play-off run this year.

[TheBeagle]

I see your Hughes, Voskuhl, and Slay and I raise you Lonny Baxter. But, gentlemen, I hold in my hand the ultimate trump card. For you see, I give you, none other than:

Read it and weep, my Bobcat brethren, Kevin Burleson!!!

[SWedd523]

No love for Kareem Rush?

[Proudiddy]

No, b/c Rush wasn't in on the joke. We pulled for him, he sucked, but he was an asshole as well. You have to meet the first two criteria but can never be an asshole, that negates the lovable loser tag.

So, I have to go ahead and lay it out there... Jahidi White.

[ziggy]

Read it and weep, my Bobcat brethren, Kevin Burleson!!!

Seeing that name made me contemplate this: Who is worse Kevin Burleson or Corey Higgins?

[QC Thundercats]

Seeing that name made me contemplate this: Who is worse Kevin Burleson or Corey Higgins?

Has to be, has to be Burleson. Higgins at least averaged double figures in college, and was probably recognized as a basketball player on campus.

And how could yall forget my man, Super Jermario Davidson! He was gonna be the next Ryan Hollins.

Also, did you realize we had reality TV star Eric Williams on the roster at one point?

Yall know you watch that show. Watch out Hollywood, we got celebrities too!

[SWedd523]

But he's such a good singer!


Seriously though, Jumaine Jones has to qualify, right?!

[ND22]

I still don't understand why we cut Jamario Moon.

[SWedd523]

I still don't understand why we cut Jamario Moon.

Yeah he was super

[Toocool]

I'm missing Dom McGuire already with all this reminiscing...

[SWedd523]

Dom McGuire
Who the fuck is that?

[x2pacalypse]

hey now I was at the game where Jumaine Jones dropped like 31 against the Lakers...Kevin Burleson was less likely to be picked up for point than his brother Nate...ohhh our FO how I love you

[QC Thundercats]

Who the fuck is that?

this reminded me, what's up with eddie, is he retired or what?

Recovering from a broken face

Recovering from a broken face

That might have been the worst part of our season (no joke). Get well Eddie.

[captaincrunk]

That might have been the worst part of our season (no joke). Get well Eddie.

the doctors were very optimistic for a few weeks after that, and I haven't heard anything since. Does anyone have articles?

[TheBeagle]

Seeing that name made me contemplate this: Who is worse Kevin Burleson or Corey Higgins? Dude, come on! I know it's been since year one (thank God) since we've had to see him on the roster but it's no contest Burleson is the worst player ever to put on a Bobcats uniform. He averaged as many fouls/game as he did points in his career. As bad as Garret Temple was here or Acie Law, they were all stars compared to Burleson, and Higgins is much better than Temple or Law.

I like Temple better than Higgins

OH man! I forgot about KB. Yeah he was way worse than Higgins.
