Are they diamonds in the rough -- or simply journeymen, the six players who've knocked around the NBA and now find themselves in Brooklyn, with something to prove.
Wayne Ellington, Donald Sloan, Thomas Robinson, Shane Larkin, Quincy Miller and Willie Reed have been with as many teams as the number of years they've been in the league.
This is Ellington's seventh season in the NBA and he's played for or been the property of seven teams -- Minnesota, Cleveland, Memphis, Dallas, New York, Los Angeles and Brooklyn.
