why do you have to get clarkson or kelly in the starting lineup? the jazz need to tank this upcoming season - their own pick is protected in the top 10 and they aren't close to contending. george, ochai and hendricks should all start and play 35 mpg. sensabaugh should be first guy off the bench and don't re-sign clarkson.
careful reading too much into the college numbers of an 18 year old. they are so far from finished products. he is a high ceiling dude who is highly skilled.
That’s what I thought from his highlight tape as well. His pull-ups and off balance and unconventional footwork on his shots remind me of Jordan too.
Guys that are god awful with efficiency in college almost never become efficient scorers in the NBA
quentin grimes as a freshman 49% TS. second year in the league - 62% TS. that's basically the first dude i remembered. took me about 30 seconds to find that.
Is that the case for Freshman as well?
that should be the goal. and i get what you're saying that the nba stinks when so much of the conversation is about losing, but you don't trade literally everybody on your roster if losing isn't part of the plan - you have to lose to get better. but you can't half *** it or you end up in NBA purgatory forever. my opinion since last summer when the jazz made it clear they didn't want to try to contend was to tank in 2023 and 2024 and then go for it. unfortunately they screwed up the tank in 2023 and got burned, so hopefully they learned their lesson and they do it right in 2024.
Danny likes his players thiccc
Only Reddish left college as a sub .40% FG guy, if George becomes the next Reddish, he'll be considered a major bust, just like Cam.
He was also playing the 3 at Baylor. He will hopefully be a point for the Jazz. His stats will look different.
he's back to his HS weight of 200. he ballooned after hs and before baylor - but my gut is with maturity he knows where he needs to be, he'll be under an nba strength and conditioning program and weight won't be an issue.
way to move the goalposts. i'm impressed.
Sub 40% from the field isn't good my boy, you can tell yourself whatever you want. If you watch George play it's clear he's a subpar athlete which is why he has to settle for so many pullups
did somebody say it was good? the fact it's not good is the point. lol. i just gave you several examples of dudes who were highly inefficient as 18/19 year olds and became efficient scorers in the nba.
