He's not going to be a big time scorer, but he can still score when called upon and he's a valuable floor spacer. Even if Gradey hits his potential I can't see him being better than GTJ. I like GTJ fit with our young guys.

He’s really bad and should be sold high on. Preferably immediately considering the game he had today.

At this point I'm just looking at development over anything else.

100%. This season really means nothing. Let's just see some of our now young prospects deliver and have fun with the assets.

Yup no expectations. Just build chemistry with these 3 and good habits. Hopefully those 3 picks add some good role players.

They were missing JJJ. He's been huge for them this season.

Add Brown and Poeltl and we're kicking posteriors.

If we can grab a nice stretch C like Wendell Clark (not sure about his D) or veteran like Kelly Olynyk would be interesting. Porter has some talent but needs more reps. Dick finally performing even if it was quick.

RJ was 7/13 from the FT line. He's a pretty good FT shooter, so very uncharacteristic of him.

Still finished with 26 points. Should've had 30+ though.

Good win. You’re going to win most games when you hit 20+ 3’s. I don’t expect this to be the norm lol.

Rest of the season is about development, hope to see more Gradey minutes, we have nothing else to lose.

BBQ was awesome and GTJ was lights out, salute to them.

Oh my... a balanced team.

If the team does well, I can only imagine the sheer amount of disapoointed "fans" here.

Agree. Dennis did a good job deferring to Scottie in the 4th and letting him operate.

Almost time to apologize to Gradey for a lot of you

Fine, we were missing Jakob, he's been huge for us this szn.

To be fair tho, that's why I didn't put fully healthy

Our team isn’t looking that bad once they’re here. I think we’ll see a lot more team ball movement without Pascal on the team.

TorontoBarneys · Post #74 » by **TorontoBarneys** » Thu Jan 18, 2024 2:54 am

I kind of like that we don't really have a set hierarchy right now with any clear 1st option. Any one of IQ/RJ/Barnes can go off on any given night and require game planning from the opposing team. That's a strength in its own right.

Until one of our guys reaches an all-nba level, I wouldn't think too hard about the batman/robin stuff.

Siakam gets traded, Gradey shoots 100% from 3.
Hmm :roll:

Dude we were missing Poetl and Siakam. Miami doesn't have excuses, they just didn't show up to play.

Great game apart from the 3rd quarter, Gary knocking down 3's really helps the offense and i can see a place for him moving forward.

Dick was really solid in the first half and showed glimpses, this year might be a rough one for him but to call him à bust already is too soon

This team has plenty of future potential now. The era of regression is behind us.

WCJ is the epitome of injury prone.
Olynyk (whom I love) is 32 and a UFA.

He was honoring Pascal.
