Signing him and Vince to cheap deals as our core enters their prime (and gets expensive) was a huge win for us this season. After the deadline we have a little financial flexibility to pair with our lottery pick this offseason, and really we only have one big hole to address (starting PF/C next to JJJ).


Yep. This season has been tough to stomach from the start but it’s all worth it if we come out of it finding 3 high level role guys to fit in with Ja, JJJ, Bane, and Smart. Plus Jaren expanding his offensive game some.
Vince is just a great fit at the wing with Ja and Bane…. Sign a big to bang and board while Jaren hints blocks and that is a strong 5.
Then let Smart lead the bench and GG has sky high potential bro v able to score at 3 levels.
I said in the draft thread when he was drafted:
You don’t get his fluid movement and scoring skill in a frame like GG’s often. He went to an awful situation and self admittedly had a bad outlook at South Carolina. I truly believe he’s the front runner for 1:1 this year if he’s in college or his original grade/class. We should pair him and Vince with a top 5 pick this year.

I am really afraid of GG getting spoiled by all recent attention. And Smart and Ja should play a big role in preventing this from happening.

He was the projected #1 pick for this draft class before he reclassified.

Blew my mind he fell so far. The talent was obvious, he was just very raw.

This didn’t wait even a week. GG was inactive last game due to a violation of the team rules.
