Georges Niang isn't really an NBA-caliber athlete. He's on the team mainly because he can make corner 3s and handle and pass well enough not to screw up our ball movement too much. He's a stop-gap basically.
At Least the JVs Won

BTW, I think JWF has some real upside. I think he has a ceiling like Jet Terry as a backup combo guard. He can score at 3 levels and finish in different ways at the rim with either hand.

Brantley has showed some decent ball handling and passing skills. I could see him morfing into a 2-3 player. He knocked down some 3s last night.

I know this won't happen but I would be interested to see the Stars and Jazz scrimmage. I think the Stars could hold their own. Kyle Collinsworth has 32 games of NBA experience. Then you have the guys that have played both places in JWF, NWG, Oni, Brantley, and Morgan. Also I think Travion Bluett is solid. Pryor, Howard, Haas and Paul White would not embarrass themselves.
Probably a better idea than beating up teams from China and Australia and Greenland.

Of the Aussie team we played it sounds like Eric Griffin put on a show. Shawn Long is a big that played at La Tech and Melo Trimble (Maryland) plays for them as well.
"Long's final stat-line was 34 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks while Griffin had 34 points, nine rebounds, three steals and two blocks. "

One thing I noticed about the Stars was their number of steals. Spida leads the Jazz with 1.3 a game. The Stars have seven players with at least that number or more.
What are the average turnovers per game in the G League vs. NBA?

More as the skill level isn't as high and GLeague teams are all kind of thrown together so players are probably thinking about the offense rather than reacting.

Stars win on the road vs OKC's GLeague team in OT. This was a truly ugly game and the Jazz players didn't play well with the exception of Juwan Morgan. Brantley, JWF and Oni aren't going to put this on their highlight reel. None of the 3 could throw it in the ocean. Despite his poor shooting Oni lead the team in rebounding with 9 and Morgan and Haas had 8 boards. Bluiett had 19 points and Mike Scott had 17 points for leading scorer honors. Morgan had 4 blocked shots. Interestingly Justin Patton played for OKC and didn't do much. He is a former lottery pick the Jazz had in a tryout camp this summer. I think this is 9 in a row.

Stars win their tenth in a row by 19 vs OKC. JWF leads the way with 24. JWF and Brantley were the only Jazz roster players to play. Howard has the 2nd best three point percentage in the GLeague.

When Will Quinn give those 3 a chance? 2030?
JWF has been really good as a shooter and scorer. He's shown adequate length and athleticism on defense too. His main draw back so far is that he's turned the ball over a lot.

Why not let them play instead of our bench. I think they could do better than 2-13 vs Golden State's scrubs.

Oni imho has been the most disappointing right now of the 2nd round picks. But he is still a smart scrappy player. The other night he couldn't throw it in the ocean but somehow managed to get 9 rebounds.
Agreed. JWF and Brantley look good. Given some more time and I think both could be highly serviceable in the big leagues.

Good stuff. The opposing center was Justin Patton former lottery pick.
