Toko Shengelia

this is just insane... first stint in the D-League on Dec 21 he had 22 12 and 10... last night he had 39 18 and 6! Is the D-league really THAT bad or are the coaches missing something by not letting this man get into a groove in the NBA?

I said when we traded for him there's a good chance he's out of the NBA in a year. Broken jumper, turnover machine, can't defend well without fouling. You need more than a high motor to make it in this league. I don't know what people saw in him that thought we gave up a serviceable- potentially good player.

The trade wasn't good because Teague is here another year and we sent out cash we could use to buy a pick, but those who thought Toko had greater value were very misguided.

Tyshawn taylor put up similar jordan like GOAT-esque games in the d-league. its like a rec league only with nba calibur players. the players are often shuffled in and out and back and forth, so there isnt alot of strategy or offensive/defensive systems. its more just get up and down the floor and score
