DJ Augustin?  He's training for the season in the Stuff Kid Zone on the Promenade level of the Amway Center.

My uncle does the yard work for the usher that dances during Magic games between the 3rd and 4th qtr at Amway Center and he said that the IT deal is eminent. I’m cool with that! 

Hows that for a source!?!

Yeah, well my 1st grade teacher's best friend's nieces' husband said that his yard guy's brother works for Isaiah Thomas' father doing his yard, and he said that your uncle uses Roundup; so he doesn't know anything about yards.

Briscoe is the exact type of 3rd string PG I wanted. 

Would still hope for a starter that pushes DJ to backup.

We don't have one, so we're going to just play 4 on 5 to start each game.

I'd be surprised if DJ is the starter by the start of the season.  It would seem the starter will be either IT, or another starting caliber PG that would be acquired in a trade (Ball?), someone in a trade for Vuc?

There are a few teams that have an abundance of PGs. Can't remember which team I looked at yesterday but they have 6 LOL

Yeah he might as well have transferred to Montana State, won big sky player of the year and we drafted him with the 43rd pick.
