I said extended highlights against Auburn and Alabama (if you can find the full games, great) I even said you can watch the entire game against Marquette where he scored a rare triple double in a NCAA tournament game Obviously you don't care to do any sort of follow up cuz one game sample size is enough for you. SMH

LOL You are stuck on a one game sample size. It's very easy to find extended highlights of the games against other power conference teams; heck the entire game against Marquette can be seen online.

And you would ignore the 17 (5 /9), 16 and 11 triple double game against 5 seed Marquette? Or the 25 (7/14), 7 and 8 game against a final 4 team in Auburn on the road? Or the 38, 5 and 9 game against Alabama on the road? He also played almost the entire game against these teams: 39, 39 and 40 respectively out of a possible 40 mins.

Smart decision

11, 10 and 10 for a triple double and 16, 13 and 6, and only took 8 shots. He averaged 31 mins against Morehead which is his lowest since Murray State blew them away. Ja also had a triple double in the NCAA tourney which is a rare occurence.

Agreed. It’s also been more fun IMO cuz a lot of these young players will be with the team for a few years.

"Should"? you gotta pray we stay injury free.

haha for real Who knows...maybe the Grizz will get lucky for once with the ping pong balls.

IMO they will be average role players. It doesn't get me excited personally but one can hope for the best.

They got into this mess cuz they traded away a 1st rnd pick outside of the draft process. If you want to draft a stud in the future and a future 1st can land you that stud, then you do it. However, right now, such options can't even be explored.

Other than Hunter every player in this post is a role player at best. Yuck

The biggest issue with not conveying is it doesn’t give us any leverage during any draft day trades. For instance even if we wanted Doncic last year, we couldn’t dangle a future first round since we don’t have a surefire one until 2022. This will continue this year and next 2 seasons if we don’t end up conveying. It’s best to convey in what almost every NBA analyst considers a weak draft. We’ll be in the lottery next couple seasons IMO; conveying now gets rid of the burden and we can proceed with a proper “rebuild.”

Oh...the rest of the post makes sense now. I was semi confused reading it lol

IMO it’s not the most logical choice. If we get a top 4 pick (ideally top 3 this season), then great. Otherwise we convey. The worst thing is to get stuck with 7th or 8th pick in this weak draft and drastically weaken any future draft day trades. For instance if we wanted Doncic last year we would have had to dangle a future first and the only sure fire future first we have is 2022. Either get a top 3 pick this year or convey and get off this burden.

Hope you are right. The Thunder and Spurs are the bottom 2 seeds this season and we have to be as good or better than them and the Lakers (who will definitely get a big FA IMO)
