If Council can shoot close to NBA average on 3-pointers he's a good NBA rotation player at the minimum. He defends, rebounds, and is physically tough around the basket. And he's a 100% effort guy, too. It was great seeing him get scorching hot last night, although his shot didn't have textbook form. He hit two step-backs and two of the shots were well outside the line. Honestly, "the rookie", McCain, was equally impressive in his own way, running the point effectively and attacking the basket with an array of scoop shots and reverses.
Nurse is very slow to gain confidence in younger players (similar to Doc), though, so a young guy has to really stand out to earn time. The players Morey signs to vet minimum contracts will very likely get Council and McCain's minutes this year I'm afraid. I guess we'll see...
