I would guess the “key rotation role” mention was a favor to DQJ’s agent after the agent gave him the story, but maybe I’m too cynical.

I almost forgot about him. He'd be a huge boost for the team with the way they've looked when playing small. Crap.

Did he just get the injury or has he had it for a bit?
Nah, he's been hurt since the start of the year.

This is great news since we haven't heard anything since preseason it seems.

He’s a guard in the same way that Bonzi was a guard. Physically he’s got the build of a squat SF more than a normal sized-two guard.

Cool. He’ll be the big off-guard of the three guard lineup, CoNo can go to the Bjeli realm, and the team can let the guys who can handle the ball well and make good decisions do it all the time instead of trying to shoehorn the ball into CoNo’s hands over and over again.

I believe he also has a 7 ft. wingspan.

I missed most of the bubble as well but I believe he brings some solid perimeter defense and positional versatility as he played 2-4

He is very athletic and an outstanding defender. He is also a good rebounder. Offensively is a decent 3 pt. shooter and usually makes the smart play. While primarily a 2/3, his size and strength allow him to switch onto PFs and still be effective defensively.

Imagine Kent Bazemore
But with a stronger lower body that enables him to really dig in against big wings and some 4s on defense. He’s definitely less polished than Baze but he’s got tons of good tools to be a good 3-and-D player in the league for years to come.
DQJ could really be an impact bench player for us this season.

Jeffries, Barnes and Tyrese all on the floor together intrigues me from a defensive standpoint.
Hell, Whiteside, Barnes, DaQuan, Tyrese and Swipa intrigues me.
Length, speed, athleticism. All guys that can get after it and cause problems.
DQJ seems like McNair's type of wing.
If the Kings are going to play their way out of a lottery pick we have to hope Jeffries, Woodard, and Ramsey all develop to give this team some solid bench pieces.

That’s exactly what he brings. Plus he makes the right play and can hit the 3.
Never saw him in the bubble. I forgot he was even on the team.
He looked good in the bubble. Nothing fluky about his play either. Just good effort, very solid defense, and a good team player.
If he continues to develop he could be a Kent Bazemore-like player but along De'Aaron and Tyrese's timeline.
Flashed superb defensive versatility (2-4), huge wingspan, very athletic which profiles well with Fox/Hali in transition. Type of player that if he gets a consistent 3-ball, he can be a starter in this league.
I liked Bazemore back in Portland and what limited bits I was able to see while he was with us. I am into it.
