Is there any hope for JHS
I'm looking for any reason to think he might pop. Anyone positive on him? Why?
"Thibs called back and wanted more picks," said Jorge Sedano. "And Pat Riley, literally, I was told, called him a mother-bleeper and hung up the phone."

Re: Is there any hope for JHS
I’ll answer if you can promise that the next trade Ainge makes includes Kessler going to LA.
I’m not sure what his deal is, tbh. He is built like a tank, plays strong individual defense, looked good in summer camp and g league, can score, can distribute, is 6’5”.
I don’t know what it is that makes him unable to buy a minute of PT. Hopefully you’ll have the luck of seeing him break out. Personally, I think he will be a starting PG in a few years.

Re: Is there any hope for JHS
He's 21, garnered a pick at #17 in the first, and there was constant talk that he was still a good developmental project. That being said he has not gotten much chance to show that on court and the sample size is limited. I'd say he'll be pretty functional by the end of next season if the developmental coaching is good.

No
On a more serious note, dude is athletic, has a nice jumper, ripped it up in the g league. He's just been injured and turned into a cap casualty

Re: Is there any hope for JHS
It sucks the Lakers had to include a Second Round Pick to rid themselves of a First Round Pick...!
My guess is he will be out of basketball within 2 years...
