offense is +1.4 with him on the court but -12.4 worse on defense. eye test backs this up.

I was sure this was a joke on the first read, but it seems like you actually believe it.
Instead of asking why, and getting some reply about improvement (as if players on other teams do not improve), may I ask you to consult the list of recent All-NBA players and provide a list of those whom you expect Gradey to equal or surpass?

This is actually wild.
Why someone would set such an obviously near impossible feature for gradey and then say it will happen in a few years is beyond me. This is why people start hating on players. Unrealistic overhyping of prospects.
And I would say I’m one of the more optimistic gradey fans on here but damn all nba in a “few” seasons?

That's why I thought it had to be a joke. It still reads like a joke. Maybe it is and he's just committing to the bit.

Oh ye of little faith. He's going to take a massive leap next season. He'll be an All Star by season 4 or 5 and All NBA by season 6 or 7. He's going to be one of the most feared scorers in the league in short order, with an all around game that will have teams fearing sending double teams at him.

Barnes is shooting 28%. Barrett is doing better at 35%. Then we have Gradey at 35%, which is even worse if you discount his corner shooting (which has been bad too).
Shead, Mitchell, and Poeltl's 3P% isn't even worth discussing.
We literally have 0 shooters in our starting line up as of now. That has to be a major concern for us and the front office. I would personally try to move off of Gradey and sell his potential to another front office for a big man prospect.

There will be a few injury replacements. Brandon Miller from the sophomore team is also out for the season.
Not sure if they'll do a straight rookie-for-rookie swap and likewise for the sophomores or if it'll be by position, but there are a few rookie candidates that might get in before Shead (even though I'm a big fan). Kelel Ware is starting to heat up for Miami, and Ryan Dunn is a guy that's had more minutes and starts than Shead and so arguably has had a bigger impact.
But congrats to Gradey on making the squad! Should be fun to watch him play in this kind of game. Hopefully he ends up on a team with people who will actually pass it to him when he's open.
