Prince got up nearly 10 threes per 36 and hit 40% of them.


Those are good signs. And it's only a matter of time before KAT gets his stroke back. Now we just need fatty boy Beasley to, er, round into form.

I have a feeling Edwards will be streaky and inconsistent all year from beyond the arc, so I'm not counting on him being a sharpshooter from outside. But if he proves to be deemed dangerous in catch-and-shoot situations, that may be good enough in terms of his overall game. We'll just have to live with some clanked step-backs and highly contested hoists as part of the deal.

I agree with what you say here. That's why Prince could really help this roster especially if he is healthy and moving well. His measurements aren't that long but preseason he was moving really well and that can help regardless of what position he plays. It feels like he MIGHT actually be that combo forward guy that can catch fire from in any game type this roster has needed for...how long? Bjelly was that guy to some extent but he didn't really take enough 3's but was a pretty versatile guy. Prince isn't as long but a more mobile younger version of Anthony Tolliver would be a really fantastic player for this roster.
