Everytime Gradey made a play Weezy was staring daggers through the back of his head like he was a kid that stole his lunch money

To me it just means they have every intention of making a trade or two and plan to throw in his salary. Flynn, Thad, Otto is a lot of expiring salary ballast. Maybe that’s where Tyler Herro type comes in.

The message? Produce in a handful of games or you're cut.

He never really developed the 3pt shot and his defense was worse than it was supposed to be and he couldn't finish at the rim around the bigger defenders than he saw in college.

That's crazy that NONE of that translated over to the league. I wouldn't have picked him to be good at any of those things watching him last year :lol:

Just goes to show how special you really need to be to even sniff an extended career in the NBA.

They're going to look at players that are on the bubble with other organizations as well. I also wouldn't be surprised if the RHJ qualifying offer gets pulled.

Can they re-sign JW if they had a spot in september for whatever reason, or no?

I've heard through the grapevine that Banton's biggest focus since getting drafted, more so than improving his game, is knowing where the best clubs are in each city for nights after road games.

It’s not some big secret, Scottie Barnes was the one to expose this. He said he was trying to get him to come work on his game and that the guy is constantly out at clubs.

Jack Armstrong also hinted at some off court extra curricular activities one time during a game. Didn't think much of it at the time, but it all makes sense now.

I went back and looked and he was a bad defender despite crushing the combine agility and vertical numbers so there was hope he could improve his defense. He had poor free throw shooting numbers and had good 3 pt % in 2 years and mediocre in his sophomore year, but on lowish volume so he really only shot it when he was wide open, which he often was as he played with Garza who was the best post scorer in college. His 2pt fg% was decent to good, but his rebounding numbers were very good. His assist to turnover ratio was poorish so he did have bbiq red flags.

So his bbiq remained poor, never improved his defending, his shooting didn't improve much/ turned out the free throw percentage was a good indicator that his high 3pt% was just good variance, and his rebounding didn't translate at all.

I know you’re just joking around but there are really people out there like this. I have a coworker who was the only male on the staff until I got there. He treats me like I’m some sort of rival because I’m the only other guy there in a workplace full of women, it’s so weird. :lol:

If this is true, then no wonder there were issues last year. Lol.

Ain't that a kick in the teeth? Did the mans not realize that people put up with the Fred show just to see a few minutes of whomever Nurse threw scraps to each night.

On the other hand, chicken and the egg. After quality play for team Canada and the 905, maybe he got the impression there was nothing he could do to get a regular opportunity and said wtf I might as well party.
