Reported 2 year deal (2nd year player option)
So right now we're looking at (a bit sloppy positionally for the big men):
Rondo/Collison/(Stockton)
McLemore/Belinelli/Anderson
Gay/Casspi/Butler
WCS/Acy/Dukan
Cousins/Koufos/(Moreland)
So 15 contracts counting Stockton and Moreland. I'd guess that Moreland will make the squad, but Stockton is likely destined to be released and a vet 3rd PG (like Miller) brought in.
One thing you can say - that's pretty deep. I think our depth is still least impressive at the 4/5 but we have pretty good options at the 2/3 to slot down and go small for periods.
Well...this was kinda my concern when we voided Luc's deal. I really like Acy as a person/friend of Cuz lockerroom type. But he's really not good at much of anything except the occasional big dunk. Rosterwise its a lot less solid move than signing a Mbah a Moute is if he's going to be Big #4, a roster position where you might actually call upon him to play against real NBAers form time to time.

I would be surprised if Dukan is on the actual roster and even Moreland is looking a little iffy.
I was looking through the FA list the other day and scratching my head where Divac is going to find a stretch 4. The only two names remotely fit that bill were Byron Mullen and yes, Quincy Acy. Mullen is terrible and Acy did make a respectable amount of threes towards the end of the season. Not saying he is the next Pat Patterson, but he was making the effort to transform himself into one.

If Acy can spread the floor at a reasonable rate, he could be a very good signing.

I might be alone but I love this signing. Better rebounder than Luc, lower usage and he improved defensively last season. He's a nice PF who can occasionally guard big SFs. And he's been working on his shot and range.
At 24 he offers a bit more upside and doesn't have Mbah a Moute's injury history.
I agree. If he keeps working on his game, he could be a solid player by the time he's into his prime in a couple seasons. Last season, when he was on our Summer League team, he did noticeably improve his outside shot, from just the regular season prior. Hopefully that trend continues.
He's also a 'sneaky' shot blocker at times. Plays much longer than his height
He averaged around half a block a game per 36 minutes.
It's always been my biggest issue with his game. He is average or worse at everything but hustling. Awful passer. Not a very mobile defender. Undersized down low. Shooting isn't good enough to rely on.
But he plays hard which is good. We just can't deal with a major injury to our bigs since after cuz, koufos, wcs we are relying on acy/Moreland.
If he raises the effort of those around him THAT is his true value add.He averaged around half a block a game per 36 minutes.

Want to know who took his spot?I was going to post the same thing, then I saw he posted better defensive numbers that Mbah a Moute last year (the more negative the better):
Code:Acy Defense Category Diff% Overall -3.3 3 Pointers -11.2 2 Pointers -0.9 Less Than 6 Ft -6 Less Than 10 Ft -6.1 Greater Than 15 Ft -1.4 Luc Defense Category Diff% Overall -3 3 Pointers -2.3 2 Pointers -3.4 Less Than 6 Ft -2.7 Less Than 10 Ft -4.8 Greater Than 15 Ft -1.5
I didn't watch the Knicks or Sixers except when we played them, so I don't know how that's possible.
Hustle is a skill.

Wish Luc was healthy.
Acy is a great team guy though. A-1 towel waver. Should make Cuz happy too.
