Since the trade away from Golden State, what do people think of his chances of landing a spot with his new team ?

Almost certain. He may even get the backup PG spot to Tyus Jones on the 15 man. Having a very good summer league, impressing a lot of wizards fans and non wizards fans alike!

I don't think summer league means much... unless you are awful

he hadn't played competitive basketball in over 6 months prior to summer league. seems to be doing a good job shaking off rust. said in a recent interview his goal is to show he can run a team and be a distributor not just a scorer. from what i've seen his defense is still inconsistent. he makes some great plays on d but also has bad possessions. he's on a bargain guaranteed contract this season, with a cheap team option for next year. so, i imagine the wizards prefer he plays well and they can keep him on the roster and spend their money elsewhere. needs to stay healthy and get in a groove and show he belongs in the league. i see him as a future starter or rotation reserve if he doesn't have more foot issues or other injuries. he can do some nba things on the court.

I predict he starts games by the end of the year because he may be the 1st backup at the 1 and 2 positions. He has too many turnovers for my liking but he racks up steals and boards nicely.
