Is Dick any good?

[SlovenianDragon]

1-12 in g-league debut....yikes... The good news is that he has time to figure things out... The bad news is he will be done in the NBA after his rookie contract if he doesn't... Another Jimmer perhaps?

[GopherIt!]

Hey guys, we talking about basketball?

we talkin’ bout practice (shooting)

[Diop]

hate when the Dick is disappointing

There is speculation that Raptors have changed his shooting form. Here in this article Gradey Dick talks about what he's doing with his shooting mechanics:

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article/even-after-rough-905-start-gradey-dick-still-shooting-with-confidence/

Dick:

“I've been shooting the same way since before middle school,” Dick said. “There's never been really a change to my shot at all. I get what they're saying. It’s just good advice in general. If you're off-balance, your feet need to be wide, and that's something, since I was a little kid, my mom has been telling me, too. Going through college, going through high school, just being consistent with the shot. It's just good for a coach to actually care enough to, when he sees it in practice, if I'm leaning different ways, it's always good to have a great base. But it's not like they put that in for me to change, you know what I mean? It's more just a reminder to, you know, if you're off left to right, and it's just a reminder to get and stay squared.”

Coach Darko:

The game needs to slow down for him.

[Tripod]

He needs reps and minutes and he can get that on the 905, not on the Raps.

Was able to get 21 shots, posted 22 points in his 2nd game. Isn't that a Poole type statline? Lol.

[dkb964]

He has been pretty bad so far. He is still very young though so hopefully he gets stronger and his shots start to fall.

[Duffman100]

Raptors aren't good, we know this.

But Dick has 31, 30, 15 and 25 in his last 4 games.

After how bad he looked to start last season, early contender for MIP?

He's now at 21 ppg on 49/37/89 shooting splits.

[Sixers in 4]

Seems a bit premature for Dick.

[xAIRNESSx]

Dick has shown amazing growth this year.

But seriously, youngest player in franchise history to have back to back 30 point games.

What a steal getting him at 13 last year.

[Onlytimewilltel]

Dick has been massive so far

[RoteSchroder]

thank the stars that Orlando didn't like Dick

[GSWFan1994]

I can't comment, never had interest in watching Dick play.

[Tacoma]

Hopefully we can for once have a civil Gradey Dick thread and not have it devolve into poking fun at his last name.

Rumor is that Jonathan Isaac really wanted Dick but he felt pressured to say otherwise.

[One_and_Done]

I'm not a fan of Dick.

[JujitsuFlip]

I'm here strictly for the Gradey Richard puns lol

I see what you did there..

Not exactly the same as they each have different games, but if you squint your eyes you can see some semblance of Curry/Klay when you look at Dick
