I haven't seen much of him in the last few years, but he was a former rookie of the year, so he has to be better than Grant?? I'm also guessing that they aren't convinced Caupain is up to it.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted March 15, 2019 I think MCW might help because he's a bad point guard where Grant isn't a point guard at all. He can pass and defend (sometimes). But there's no reason for optimism at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything that reduces Grants minutes (ideally, to 0) makes me optimistic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ignoring MCW’s rookie season, his 3 point percentage has been under 30% his whole career. I’m no fan of Grant, but I feel like this could hurt the offense more than help it.

There's really two options here. 1. Wow MCW is bad but his passing helps that second unit enough to make him playable 2. Wow MCW is so bad that he can't take Grant's job.

Soul Bro 1,421 Report post Posted March 15, 2019 Grant’s impact is so bad that it’s staggering. At least MCW should know Cliff’s system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Eyes On Me 1,213 Report post Posted March 15, 2019 I mean, Briscoe can’t shoot either and the 2nd unit was significantly better with him over Grant. Guess we’ll see how MCW fits in 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's assuming that WeltHam spoke with Cliff prior to signing him, since Cliff had him in Charlotte last year. I know his numbers were inflated his rookie year by being on a (very) bad Philly team, and I can see him not being able to stick in Houston, when you already have Harden/Paul eating up most of the PG minutes; but I was surprised that Chicago didn't give him a chance earlier this year instead of waiving him after the trade. How poorly must we think of Grant and/or Caupain to bring in MCW on a 10-day tryout? The only other alternative I can think is they don't want to pull Caupain up permanently until the G-League finishes, since he is very important to Lakeland, so they are going to fill with a couple 10-day contracts in the meantime.
