Hopefully they can crack the roster this year. Always nice to see good, hard-working kids get rewarded.

David Hawkins is 32 and has an 18 year old kid??

What number will he be? I hope 54. For some reason it really irks me that it's the only number nobody has ever worn.

Here's an old scouting report from summer 2015.

Aiyegbusi is a gifted passer and has a knack for making the correct basketball plays. He often sees plays before they happen and doesn’t try to force the issue when he's playing the point-forward role. His offensive game is well-rounded, as he’s capable of scoring from all three levels. One of his major strengths on that end of the court is his shooting. Whether it’s spotting up or off the dribble, Aiyegbusi is capable knocking shots down consistently from the 3-point line or from mid-range.

Close - 45 per Dom Amore.
