summer league -> swarm -> 10-day
great for him
cool vid of jpete giving him news

Garrett has appeared in 40 contests (40 starts) this season with the Greensboro Swarm, Charlotte’s NBA G League affiliate, averaging 10.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

A 6'5 backcourt player who is actually a perimeter defender? Garrett was the 2020 Naismith Defensive Player of the Year. He's actually got pedigree. Top 50 high school recruit. Kansas. Miami liked him until he broke an arm.

Not going to try to convince myself this guy at age 26 is going to turn himself into an NBA player at this point. Only thing that is worth note here imo is that it is nice for the team to reward one of their own, Swarm player with a bit of a payday on a 10 day contract. He is going to make 2x what he makes for the whole Gleague season in the next 10 days.

wow shocker, a defensive minded player with minimal chops on offense

If this fetish means we take VJ Edgecombe over Jakucionis, I’m all for it.

Team jpete has legit grown men who are tough and defend. Unless nsj gets red hot, I can't see them winning. Team jpete also has a real pg and size.

the downside is I don't think team JPete can score on my 94-year-old grandmother with one working arm

Team Peterson has guys who are currently in the league. Meanwhile, the headliner of team Mitch has been MIA since he got cut.

JP team wins easily.

These teams are weird, JP gets #6 and a guy we are paying 15 million for? His team should be better than a bunch of known failures hand selected out of Mitch's bag.

Theo Maledon would be better than probably anyone on Team Peterson, he is having a great year playing for ASVEL in Europe, leading them in scoring and assists and record or 15-6.

to be fair, team mitch had 5 years of projects to choose from vs jpete's 1

but for fun...

team mitch
theo / amari
nsj / mcgowens / bouk
caleb m / cody m
thor / kai
nick r / carey

team jpete
simpson / baugh
green / garrett
okogie / jefferies
salaun / rhoden
diabate

team mitch wins that prett easily
