Wisconsin Herd Thread

It's unclear to me what the contract status of these guys are. We have their rights but will they actually play for the Herd? We traded two guys who haven't (Lalanne and Tyler Harvey) to get them.

Ccall me crazy, but I think the G-league needs a bit of restructuring when it come to players and contracts.

Gary. Fukin. Neal.

This can't be real. :lol:

I mentioned targeting Ledo for the open 2-way spot a few weeks ago. Not the most cerebral player but he’d be a really nice addition for the stretch run. Gary Neal can GTFO.

Man, a Gary Neal pick-up of any kind just never feels that good. Hopefully, his time in Spain has softened his 'Me First' mentality that has generally been attached to his time in and near the NBA.

I really don't like Gary Neal just for that practice comment about Giannis, what a **** thing to say about a rookie teammate. Hopefully he learned a harsh lesson from that

Has always been a really good ball handler for a 6-7 guy. Kind of a worse shooting poor man's Crawford.

Marshall Plumlee having a dominant first quarter right now against the Erie Bayhaws, involved in every possession. He's out there with Bolomboy right now forming a load of a G-league front court. DJ Wilson is also with the Herd.

This is the best I've ever seen DJ Wilson play. He had an offensive rebound finish through contact and I nearly fainted.

Showing some signs of life. Encouraging.

He had 20 FGA without a single FTA.

I still think all of Wilson's movements are too slow for him to have any NBA success, but he's clearly better when he plays as engaged as he did today. I don't think you can be in the same front court next to Marshall Plumlee's intense ass & not get a little fired up.

Wilson is better than Thon and definitely better than Terry. We should give him a look with the big club.

I won't judge a rookie for their fluidity and speed of motion, that's one of the biggest things that players improve on throughout their NBA career. I want to see him aggressive and not be a Charmin softy. Actually try to rebound and look like there is some semblence of BBIQ.

Basically what I'm saying is, what I want to see from a guy like Wilson is ENERGY and EFFORT! lol

The Plummer is obviously old, but so damn hungry to do all the things we need a C to do, and has the size and mobility to do them. If his arms weren't so short he might actually be a good player. He's athletic enough to break even.

Yeah I've been very impressed by the young Plum. He's a guy we need to have eligible for 8-12 minutes of thrashing his body around in the playoffs, which he can't if he remains on a 2-way. Totally fine with having him around next year on a minimum deal.
