Sorry remind me. Van Vleet's contract is guaranteed right?

I think so, we had a thread a few days ago.

How quickly people forget how unimpressive Delon was during summer league... good for him to get playing time at 905... PG position is raps least worry....

I could not find the highlights for it, but this is from last season. Demar & Kyle sat out and we kept the game competitive with nice games from Delon, Norm and others. Delon would provide a lot of different looks, especially while letting Kyle play the 2.

Good. He needs to show something and make Cojo more expendable in the off-season. This team has holes to fill and Cojo will be up for a big raise after next season. I'd like to see Delon get some time on the floor with Bebe. Delon was drafted as a pick and roll expert on offense and that's where Bebe does all his damage offensively.

He's a well-rounded offensive point guard that is a very good playmaker, but is also able (and willing) to get his own shot.

He reminds me of Larry Hughes a bit, with his ability to play both guard spots seamlessly. Delon has that feel, smoothness to his game that comes naturally; it's something you can't teach.

That is where we are stupid , If Masai is going to make some trades he should have Poeltl and Siakam and Delon and maybe even Norm all kicking ass in the D league making other teams drool over them early enough so we can trade them if we need to . But instead most of them are sitting up here twiddling their thumbs and no one will know how good they are .

my only issue with him is that he's a terrible jump shooter. any pg that can't shoot is going to have issues when he plays alot of minutes. the hope is that he can play 15-20 mins a night so we can move cojo.

No teams drool over guys putting up numbers in the D-League. There's nothing impressive about that.

Well it has to be better than sitting them on the bench where no one gets to see them play . But yes it should mean something it means they aren't total scrubs like Bruno .

So according to you Bruno is just as good of a prospect as Norm and Peoltl and Delon and it doesn't matter at all that Bruno plays there like crap and say Norm dominates every game he plays .

Just in time to be a trade asset!

People care about players sucking in the D-League. It's all downside risk.

Also, D-League play doesn't just wipe out NBA play (Norman) or draft pedigree (Poeltl). So no, that's not what I'm saying at all.

The D-League can certainly prove that a player is NOT ready for the NBA. But playing well in the DL doesn't prove that a player can hang in the big league.

Lots of excitement for a guy who's not likely to get much burn with the big club.
