Sefo-'loser'

Spoonful drops sefolosha, picks up Brooks

Again, Thabo has been discussed recently.

Aaron Brooks is in his 2nd year out of Oregon; he's only 6'0, but is very fast, and can score. He was out with an ankle injury, but scored 14 last night. It's unclear what to expect from him, if anything, as he shot often and terribly from 3pt territory. He may, however, get playing time if Rafer continues to stink it up.

Judgment: The Spoonful is a touch desperate for PT, and is worried about the PG position, having lost Tony Parker to trade, and Marbury and Quinn to drops.Will Boobie Gibson be the next Spoonful pickup?

A Move from the Spoonful

Chris Quinn dropped for Thabo Sefolosha

Chris Quinn, 20th round pick by the Spoonful, has been dropped. There mixed reports as to whether he'll start, platoon, or not be in the Miami PG rotation. If starting, he could be a useful 10/5 guy; if not, he's useless.

Thabo Sefolosha, the 'Swiss Miss', is in a mess of a minutes logjam as an SG in Chicago, along with Hinrich, Gordon, and Larry Hughes. He is, for now, starting, however. He's extremely foul-prone, and can't really shoot consistently; he proved in the spring, however, that he can provide all-round stats if given minutes. No more than 7P/4R/2A, plus most of a steal and a block can be expected unless he gets a lot more minutes.

 

Judgment: This may have been a panic move, as reports surfaced that both Quinn and Marbury might not be in their respective rotations. Thabo is an intriguing talent, but probably won't be worth much in the short term. If Quinn really isn't playing, though, Thabo's worth a flyer.
