If Jett Howard can develop into that, that would be a homerun but no confidence in that.


I think Jase jumps the line with Cole out of the way.

And-1

Assuming Suggs misses 15-20 games, that ensures that Richardson will log big backup minutes in important games.

I seriously doubt Jase gets big minutes behind Black and Tyus. I see G-League for development at some point pending pre-season performance. And, that is to make it as a 4th PG on a team and likley 3rd. Might get 5-7mpg. Be fun to watch.

Jase is a much better pairing with AB than Tyus…all 3 will play and Jase might be key to AB’s breakthrough as a PG. AB will not be handling much with Tyus on the floor. I expect a lot of interspersed lineups between starters & bench. Franz, as always , will likely continue to get a fair amount of non-Paolo minutes with some of the second unit

Mind you Jase is the 4th PG on the team, thus I seriously doubt he gets much playing time regardless. He will spend time in the G-League or riding the bench. Tyus and AB will get plenty of time to build chemistry together and Jase is not eating up that time.

Jase will be a more feared scorer from day 1 than either of them...not a better player, but more of a scoring threat...I don't think "4th String" anything is what he is...he's a multi-level scorer that might play some point...Tyus is the only "real" PG on the roster and that's not really going to matter much. The only roster conflict is the idea that we can play multiple non-scorers together.

That is what they said about Jett. Sure, he could be a surprise, but I am not holding out hope just because of his name and he can drop a few buckets. Funny on this board in the past whenever the team had defenseless players that can score are routinely trashed, but this guy is supposed to prove em wrong. I will be excited to see if he can compete in training camp. Then, I can be proven wrong, but unlikely.
