I really want to give small victories to Dick but he does 5 bad things for every positive play...

He’s looked both awkward and rusty when he’s tried to score. He played a very good second quarter though. However, that remains a problem for him — that he plays one stellar quarter and the others are average at best.


Barnes skill set is just so limited been saying this forever

UnbelievablyRAW wrote:Shead plays tough but unless he turns into FVV as a shooter all that fiestiness means nothing. He's too small to do anything off the dribble within the 3pt line and we don't have the spacing to get him any open layups.

If starters do well, we'll trade for a back up PG imo.

Dick, bird, Luka, doncic. One of those things is not like the other.

Dick isn’t strong like those guys are. No matter how much weight Dick gains and how much he’s able to push in the weight room, he lacks functional strength. No cure for that.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

I promise, if he showed you everything you wanted to see out of him it wouldn't matter. It's game 1 of the preseason


It’s his 5th year. He should be dominating the preseason if he’s improved.


that's simply not how the NBA works, and you know it. look around you can find **** offensive performances from any n everyone on any given night. He was the best defender out there

Calm down guys its still pre season Grady is trying to do too much. He has to remain a catch and shoot guy at this point especially if he's out there with our starters. Problem is we'll have too many guys looking for their own shot in the starting 5.

Raps will dismiss this as random preseason game, but it's public game one of year 3 and he hasn't proven **** to date which he surely knows.

Just feed him fish soup and plantains all season long, problem solved.
