Looks like he could be a great 3rd or 4th option on a contender at least. Not sure about superstar, but I do enjoy watching him play. He has very good bball instincts, IQ and awareness. Seems like the type of player that could fit into any roster

Let’s be measured here. For now I’m just happy we have a solid rotation player. Anything more is a bonus.

He needs to be the designated FT shooter on techs

Easy there - all depends on how much strength he can add, the tools are there for a potential All-Star cap but way too early and much left to see but I’m here for it and excited.
Masai/Bobby and Tolzman strike again. Many on this board in shambles once again

He knows how to use his gravity. Off ball screens on centers and then dragging them out. That is just great IQ. He played PG in high school, seeing him develop his handles and pick and roll game is the next step. Physically I'd just keep him athletic and conditioned. We don't need him doing the Bargnani diet.

Re: The Gradey Dick Thread Part 2
This board goes from one extreme to the other. There were people here questioning his shooting mechanics. Gradey was the best shooter in college. He's still getting adjusted to the speed, physicality and even the further 3 point line.

The Reggie Miller comps lookin good right about now!
I would settle for a Bogi Bogdanovic style player. 16-17ppg
But he’s already hitting a good streak in his rookie year. Maybe he has another gear????

Excited to see how he develops with a summer of adding strength.
He's already a surprising good finisher given he's not very strong right now.

Re: The Gradey Dick Thread Part 2
Best 3 point shooter in the league and he can cut like the best of them. Holy ****, this type of in season improvement is crazy.

Re: The Gradey Dick Thread Part 2
He had a bunch of great plays tonight, but the one that really sticks out to me is when the ball was going out of bounds as he was cutting baseline and he just scoops it up and essentially tap passes it to I think RJ for a layup. Beautiful to watch. With more on ball duty and just more strength and experience he's going to be a great player. Watching him and Scottie grow together is going to be something to witness.

I am glad he worked on his lateral movement and contest. Not only that, he worked on his nba 3 range. Kudos to him and the coaches.

This is what got me about the early criticism. He clearly knows how to play. Passing, cuts etc. it was literally just his shot not falling.
You could see the potential
