He can actually help a team, with his outside shooting and ability to play both guard spots. He will be a good signing for any team from a PR standpoint. Imagine the story in the local paper about how he made it to the NBA after everything he's been through!
Some guys just have that "it". He might not be the biggest guy (6'5") or the most athletic, but he just knows how to play—as evidenced by the fact that this past season he was the only North American shooting guard in the Spanish League. His strength is his unlimited range and you can't tell me that Richie Frahm can make a roster and English can't. I like to compare him to Bob Sura before the injuries. He can play some point, he's pretty athletic and he's a confident shooter.
His best shot to make an NBA roster might be with the Toronto Raptors. He played under Raptor's assistant coach Jay Triano for the national team and the Raptors have signed guys like Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon when they proved to be solid players in Europe after originally being labeled not good enough.
And Carl, in closing, I just want to say that whether you make it to the NBA or not, you are a real hero because of your story and your perseverance. Good luck and God bless!
