Fanbase Rookie Approval Rating: Omari Spellman 

Post#1 » by EvanZ » Sun Dec 9, 2018 5:24 pm

Hey so I'm embarking on a litte project to compile fanbase approval ratings for the rookies your team drafted (or traded for on Draft night). Very simple poll like a Presidential approval. Use whatever subjective or objective criteria you feel is necessary to decide.

Hard-nosed team player, willing screener, offensive glass eater, good IQ, good off the ball, pretty good stroke for a Big. Very good technique on shot contests near the rim. Needs to expand dribble game and improve conditioning.

At worse he's a journeyman center in this league. I see a long career for Omari.

Good to see him join Lin (charges drawn) & Bembry and Baze (deflections, loose ball recoveries) among NBA Hustle leaders. He’s 2nd in three pointers contested per 36. He has good habits and jumpshot to develop but will that happen under a tanking directive and sub par staff remains to be seen.

Agree. Another easy approve. He was a complete steal where we got him and honestly, we still don't know his potential as he could continue to get in better shape.

Spellman is an enforcer on both ends and not afraid to throw that big booty around. He’s unselfish and has a sweet stroke from 3 for a big. He can be used nicely on those screen n pops. He hustles a ton out there and has good poise for a rookie. Lots of confidence from him due to his high skill level.


All three of our rooms have a high basketball skill level which is nothing to sneeze at.

I approve of Spell, steal at 30!

Why? I thought Poythress was playing great. Omari obviously gained a few lbs while injured and needs to get back into game shape.

Spellman, yes.
Poythress - I'm guessing:
1. Len and Dedmon are both healthy for tomorrow's game.
2. With Baze out 2 weeks, Tyler Dorsey will be probably be active.

I'm content to let him stay there and work off that baby fat. Knowing that a larger role will be available to him next season.
