Aaron should not play in SL. He has nothing to gain by playing in SL. If he plays well, then people say well of course he would play well, it's only SL and he is a 1st round pick from 3 seasons ago. If he plays just ok, it's not a good look. It's a no win situation for him. If Brad or Ime are asking him to play, then that's different. It's better he take some time off and be around assistant coaches and work on his game that way. Much like Grant last off season.
dude. it's not about what's a good look or a bad look. who cares what people say?
Bottom line, it's year 3 for him. it's a make or break year. he's gotta show this season that he's an NBA player or we're gonna ship him out of town at the deadline just like we did with romeo (if we even keep nesmith here that long).
He needs to play in summer league to:
a) prove to Udoka and Brad that he's an NBA player and
b) get reps that will help his development
That's it. Bottom line. screw everything else..
I'm of two minds about Nesmith and summer league. Yeah, he could use the reps and exposure, but OTOH the team already knows what they've got in him. If POBO and Coach think he's still on a positive development path, maybe it's better to spend his summer working with coaching staff in Boston and figuring out his ... mental block or whatever it is about the shooting.
Next season will be the deciding factor. I think he'll get it figured out, but if not the team can just move on, and I'll continue to get teary-eyed watching Maxey and Bane.
They do?
I still have no idea what he is, if he's gonna take a leap or not, if he's worth keeping on the roster, what to expect from him when he checks into a game, etc.
