Hollis-Jefferson's first post: "Good morning @NBA , I was wondering if any teams had a training camp spot for an kind chap like myself . I’m like a SUV got a lot of travel miles but for the long haul(long season) you can count on me. I also keep good air flow amongst the team. I also can guard just about anyone"

Hollis-Jefferson's second post: "I also don’t mind getting guys better in practice. Pushing them to the next level. Make it tough in practice scrimmage when necessary for the core guys to be elite in game situations!"
