Maybe?

He's definitely more undersized SG than PG, but he's got some skills. Kid's a bucket.

Up until Klomp posted about him I had never heard of him. I will defer to you and Klomp. Sounds mildly exciting. Sign him on a two way and if he shows promise convert it to a standard.

Possible. I'm sure this will be a tryout opportunity for him. I think a two-way would be more likely than a roster spot.

I hadn't heard of him until the roster was announced either. Seems promising though.

Yeah I was posting two way at the same time you were.

Apparently he was in the 2023 draft and went unselected.

He signed a 3 year deal with a Paris team, but I wonder if they would let him out of it if we offered him a two way?

Global Rating is the main metric HoopsHype uses to track the performance of basketball players all around the world. Created by our own Alberto De Roa, it combines players’ and teams’ statistics to rank players according to their productivity on the court. The amount of games a player has missed in a certain season or competition is also factored in.

Minott is in his 3rd year. Is he definitely going to play SL?


My understanding is yes. Someone tweeted out that he is on the team.


If Minott is worth his salt he should dominate the summer league. I don't think he will but I hope I'm wrong. He just hasn't shown me much.

Interesting guy but really small. I’ve seen him listed at 6’ with a 6’ wingspan. Smaller than Dilly but only slightly bigger than JMac. Honestly, I would rather have JMac back as a third PG. This guy has consistently put up numbers in the French league at a young age, which is impressive, but with that size and what looks like more of a SG game, as opposed to PG, I’m not sure I see an NBA future.

I’d love to see him crush summer league and prove me wrong though. We need all the young, cheap talent we can get.

That kid won't last 5 minutes in the bigs throwing up wing and prayers like in the video. I'm not seeing much of any lead guard skills.

Who can tell on these videos anyway because everything is cherry picked to put the kid in the best light.

Probably not, but a man can dream right?

I see more NBA upside than say Jaedon LeDee, who we'll also see on the team.

Probably won't make it but smooth lefty shots are nice. Maybe we see a few this year.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
