He was a problem up Ga Tech, so who knows how hes gonna act with the DC clubs and chicksHow is glen rice jr? Never seen him play but he seems like a problem off the court
You went to VCU??? I just finished working Shaka Smart Basketball camp last week. Saw Eric and a few other current and former VCU players.Eric went down with that crucial knee injury against Houston and had to be carried off the court. He was traded to Portland after losing his back-up PG duties and was looking good without the brace towards the end of the season.
OKC missed his tempo and ability run the pick & roll/get the team into somewhat of an offense.
I went to college and played with Eric, so I'm slightly biased....but I would love to see him on the Wizards and back closer to his home state of NC.

Wizards are making a contract offer to their own free agent G-F Martell Webster today, source tells Y! Sports. He is Wiz "No. 1" FA priority
Wizards also would "love" to bring back Antawn Jamison,who played there from 2004-10. Wiz texted the mutually interested Jamison on Sunday
Martell Webster could sign a new deal as soon as today, reports @MrMichaelLee. sbn.to/11aSje2

Source: Former VCU star Eric Maynor has agreed to a deal with the #wizards. Terms not disclosed but it is a "multi-year" deal.

maynor? great vcu garbage. can the wiz sign real nba players.
Maynor is a better floor general than Price, but he's also worse at scoring. Price had the advantage of being able to play the 2 next to Wall as an additional 3pt shooter.
This was a decent move, I guess..
David Aldridge reports the deal is for the bi-annual exception, which starts at $2.016 million.
Maybe Blatche took less money out of the goodness of his heart. Maybe he wanted so badly for the Nets to preserve the taxpayer mid-level exception.
I'll choose to believe he purposely screwed the Wizards, though.
I'm a Glen Rice Jr. fan. I only saw him once in-person, but he performed real well that game. I believe it was one of his first starts of the season -- scored 35 points and had 15 rebounds. He was lights out from three; showed a bit of a mid-range game as well. Without doing much background work on him (but knowing some of the basic stuff about his prior history), I didn't have too much concerns about him. Several GM's asked my opinion on where I felt he should be drafted and I viewed him as a late first-rounder (25-30).
As you probably know, I (we) follow the D-League pretty closely over at RU, Rice Jr. didn't hit my radar until later in the season last year for obvious reasons (playing time). However, his lack of playing time early in the season was in large part due to the incredibly stacked roster that RGV had and carried throughout the season. They most certainly had the highest level of talent out of any NBADL team this past season.
Rice Jr. had to transition from the speed of the college game to the speed of the D-League which is a HUGE difference! I feel like that was something he worked on and it showed late in the season when he was more effective. He found a rhythm, and also spots on floor to enabled him success not only around the hoop, but also from long range. He figured out proper spacing which is a key element in the professional game as opposed to college.
He is a multi-skilled player offensively, he can shoot it obviously, but what impresses me is how reacts to contact and can finish around the hoop. Defensively, once again he had to adjust to the speed of the game as opposed to what he saw in college. From what I saw, he never was a liability later in the season defensively, and he picked up on head coach Nick Nurse's defensive schemes as the season progressed. RGV loved to get out and run, and he fit in with their high-powered offense, which was a product of their tenacity on defense.
As far as flaws go, I still think he needs more work on the basic fundamentals in set offensive formations. This will become even more important in Washington, but he has shown that he's a student of the game, so I'm confident he will pick things up fast. Obviously, there are the off-the-court issues in his past, has he matured and surpassed falling victim to these distractions? That's hard to say and I can't answer that. You mentioned a strong locker room in Wash, I think that will decide his future honestly, if he can latch on with one or two veterans, that will be huge for him!
