Where was Stan when OG flipped Schroder? He wasn't in the game was he? It would have been interesting to see him wading in the way Trent did, or tried to. I bet guys would back off from Stanley.

Gee I'm sounding like a puckhead.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Why was he a lotto pick? How was he in highschool/college? It’s tough to see his skill set cause i think he’s been told to move the ball if he’s not open

This is disrespectful to Artest tbh.

A prime Artest would lock up the best player on the other side AND score 20ppg

Unfortunately hes just not that good. Hes had decent stretches but.. very inconsistent. Low iq. Im done with the super low iq guys especially a guy like him who's been around a while now. Thats not gonna improve. Hes 1 of 2 guys (baynes) id much rather just not be on the team next year.

How about every time he drives as hard as he can to the bucket into a crowd of people, inevitably being called for an offensive foul or just turning the ball over? Happens multiple times a game. At least in the ones he actually plays in.

This guy managed to have a negative plus minus in our 53 point blowout of the warriors. And a negative plus minus in another one of our blowout W's after that.

If that isn't a microcosm of what he's been...idk what is.

He’s not quite as bad as Aron Baynes but he’s next up in terms of our worst player.

And he looks a little intense. Not Metta intense... but focused and a bit cray.

I like a guy like that for a championship team and you can keep him cheap.

I guess I just realized I’m a Stanimal fan.


Reminds me of the Joey Graham is the next something threads just based on this pic.

As in a threat on both sides of the court!

Now if your talking about willing to scrap ok, but what player isn't?

SJ has the ideal body + athleticism for a wing...

His IQ and skills on the other hand...
