I dunno, the garbage time units have been doing a great job of keeping his plus/minus down!
An Aaron Wiggins type of contract isn’t out of the question and there’s a lot of basketball between now and then.
Its going to be hard to foresee what Jerome wants.
With early bird rights is 12.5mil/yr good enough?
I do think we have options if we want to look elsewhere in Tyus Jones, Tre Jones, Lonzo Ball, Jordan McLaughlin, Tre Mann or Malcolm Brogdon. I am a little worried Jerome's year so far is a bit fluky.
This wasn't really a playoff game, but it definitely had the feel of one. Guys who can perform in the postseason get a premium. Guys who can't have their value discounted.
Aggressive/physical perimeter defenses are too much for a lot of guards/wings to handle. LeVert really struggles when the officials allow defenders to play like that. Okoro can barely dribble against them (but he benefits on the other end). I was really impressed at how well Jerome and Garland were able to counter that aggressiveness with their quickness and handles.
