He played 238 NBA minutes last year, presumably all garbage time. In those minutes, his per 36 numbers are 26.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists on a .652 TS%. Only 0.4 blocks and 0.3 steals though, and 6.4 fouls. He might be unplayable defensively.

So you're saying he fits right in with this team.
Agreed on Queta. He looked good in preseason with the Celts:

These are some young bugs that I think could be worth looking into who could use a change of team.

Most of those guys are available because they aren't getting playing time and the others have been on the trade block. Sims would be my main target!payitforward wrote:gambitx777 wrote:Utah

I'm not sure why Yurtseven, Garza, Sims, Fernndo or Smith would be available.
Don't want Wiseman, Bagley or Samanic (him... maybe).
I don't mind giving guys a chance to see if they step up. He isn't.NatP4 wrote:Has the weird obsession with Tyus Jones finally died? Dude is a mediocre backup PG. zero reason to keep playing this guy over younger players. Posting a 50% TS.
Quick someone post his numbers when Ja Morant was out last year!

I wouldn't call it a weird obsession. The dude was legitimately very good starting in place of Morant. He was regarded across the league as the best backup PG in the league and a guy who would probably fare well as a starter. I agree with you that he has been disappointing so far, but I disagree with this notion that it was somehow ridiculous to assume he could be an NBA starter.

H&ll, you could put Hartenstein on the list as well....

Did the Washington Wizards trade for Jordan Poole to try to rebuild his trade value to move him on in a future trade ... or to make him a cornerstone player of their post-Bradley Beal future?
My sense, from speaking to various league observers, is that more believe it is the former rather than the latter with Poole in Year 1 of a four-year, $123 million contract.
Poole gave a glimpse into how he sees it in a recent interview with my Yahoo! Sports colleague Jake Fischer.
"Obviously I wanted to be in a position to have my own team, and then if it did come, how would I go about that?" Poole told Fischer. "Luckily I’m able to do that so young after learning from some of the best. It’s cool. It’s a smooth transition. We’re building everything from scratch essentially. Building up a new foundation. Everything in Golden State was already established, so we kinda had to fit into the mold that they have there."
Do the Wizards see themselves as Poole’s team?
