Interesting. His IQ and passing skills don’t exist, but his size, desire to learn, athleticism, and 3pt are all above average for a second rounder.

I saw enough in summer league that I wanted the Grizz to keep him around - glad to see this. If he can develop and reach his potential, he might be the true SF that our team currently lacks (no disrespect to Ziaire, but ...)- he's years away from getting regular minutes in the NBA though.

Do you expect Todd and Christofer to be just cut?

Yeah unfortunately. Personally I wouldn't mind swapping out Gilyard with Christopher though once Christopher is cut (assuming that's allowed).

Thanks. Another issue: how are we going to handle the stack of young small forwards in the roster? Roddy, Zaire, LaRavia all need 10+ minutes for proper development. I am afraid one is out. Thoughts?

It'll be interesting to see who gets time and who doesn't to start. I really don't know who will be the odd one out.

Same feeling. What bothers me here is the question why would FO draft 2 SFs last year should they believe in ZW?

More bites at the apple. The hope is that 1-2 of them pop.

I'm interested in the numbers, but I love this development. He's got all the tools, he just needs some seasoning

Locking him and Vince up cheap for the next few years as the core enters their prime is huge
