Greensboro Swarm: The G-League Thread

[Snidely FC]

Swarm went 0-14 from 3 in first half tonight, 2-22 for game, 9%, yikes. Goodwin's stroke is kinda ugly. have you guys seen him shoot?

silver lining Perry Ellis starting to recover from hernia surgery looked much more comfortable 17 & 10 tonight, obvious high BBIQ guy who might eventually fit with the parent club

[JDR720]

goodwin has never been a shooter.

i thought ellis was draftable, could be a backup. bit small tho

[Snidely FC]

Munford looked good in win vs Austin last night. Reason I keep touting Munford is unlike Sessions he looks comfortable shooting the 3. Perry Ellis looked good again too, 18 & 8.

Swarm had a couple injuries but still had a few DNP-CDs tonight in only playing 8 players. Goodwin seems to be settling in and Munford continues to impress, both outplayed Harrison and Wood, though they were just recently re-assigned. Goodwin, Harrison, and Wood have replaced Wilkins, Sulaimon, and Ellis as starters.

Aaron Harrison: 15 points (5-16 1-6 4-4) 1 rebound, 3 assists, 1 steal
Christian Wood: 6 (3-9 0-1 0-0) 7, 2, 2 blocks
Mike Tobey: 19 (8-11 0-2 3-4) 6, 0, 2 steals
Archie Goodwin: 21 (7-14 0-2 7-11) 5, 5
Xavier Munford: 23 (7-11 4-7 5-6) 6, 2

He's been pretty good in his games with the Baby Bees. Surely he's got to be getting close to getting some meaningful burn with the big boys?

5 blocks.
0 turn overs.
Only 3 fouls.

And 12/21 from the floor along with 12/12 from the line.

Solid line.

I checked his D league stats yesterday and was underwhelmed, they were actually better for the 76ers team. Small sample size and all though, he's only played in 5 games for the Swarm.

42.3% FG (52.9% FG last season on similar volume), 12.5% 3PT (25.3% last season), 15.4 pts (17.3 last season). D boards are way up and blocks are up a bit.

[yosemiteben]

Harrison had himself a ball game tonight. 34 points, 9-14 FG, 3-5 3PT, 13-13 FT, 6 boards, 4 assists, 1 stl, 1 blk

On the other end of the spectrum, Munford went 0-14 in 39 minutes. Had 8 assists, which looks good until you see that he had 6 TOs.

Wood only played 10 minutes, hope he wasn't hurt.

Anybody watched Chasson Randle? Just saw he nailed 9 3s for Westchester. All I have is the box scores to go by for him.

Features Munford and Tobey, and the latter gets a lazy Hawes comp.

The Swarm randomly had a day game and the second half is about to start. Link to watch if anyone is interested - https://www.facebook.com/nbadleague/videos/vb.55070120288/10154691386200289/?type=3&theater

I'm pretty excited about Christian Wood. He still needs to put on weight, but he is a nice combination of offensive competency and length. He's got 20 points, 12 boards, and 3 blocks in this game and it's only halfway through the 3rd. I would much rather see what he can become before we blow assets and cap space on someone like Henson.

It is kind of unheard of but @Chriswood_5 is just four blocks away from a triple double.

27 points (11-16 FG, 1-3 3PT), 13 boards (3 O boards), 6 blocks in 30 minutes, still 6 to go in Q4.

RJ Hunter sighting for the LI Nets.

[yosemiteben]

Wood has a sick first step with the ball in his hands. If he can make defenders respect his outside shot, he has the potential to be a very serious offensive weapon as a big. He can blow by bigs that pull out to contest his shot, and with his length and athleticism the dude can finish in the paint.

Apparently not much of a playmaker for his teammates though, just checked and he has a total of 12 assists in 14 games before today.

[yosemiteben]

Holy **** guys Wood is unstoppable in this game. Dropping threes, splitting double teams off the dribble, finishing through contact, extremely impressive. He's got 36 points on 19 FGAs and hit a clutch three then followed it up with a three point play in the last few minutes of the game.

Don't ask how his defense looks though...

[yosemiteben]

God damn, Wood has scored the Swarm's last 13 points and just got his 7th block. He's got a 40 point game.

[yosemiteben]

Hadn't heard of this D league rule, but apparently the coach can choose to challenge a foul call, and the refs review on the monitor to confirm. Do not like that idea at all.
