And then he makes the situation worse with his antics after.
I know there was a few people who thought it was too early to give up on Chriss, just curious if there are still people like that here?
I don’t blame, he’s still young and the Suns gave up a lot to trade up and get him so it’s understandable but just wondering.
I wouldn't ever give up on a young guy on his rookie contract regardless of what you gave up for him or where he was drafted unless he had some serious personal problems. I don't have any certain expectations for Chriss any more but he is worthless in trades. If he doesn't earn playing time he shouldn't get it.
He played well last year and was second all rookie team with less experience so he has skills and talent. Like I said, I don't have any expectations of him, but I think it's dumb to just give up on 20 or 21 year olds with athleticism and skills who have had mostly crappy coaching.
You're painting yourself into a corner with that policy. I have no issues with giving up on a guy even on their rookie contract. Georgios Papagiannis got straight up waived by Kings and he wasn't a detriment to the team. All things considered Chriss' personal problems (motivation, attitude, discipline) have been a bigger problem than Georgios. It seems like our coaching staff has to have a sit down heart-to-heart with him every month or so just to check on where his head is. I really question if he even enjoys playing basketball. I just don't have an argument for keeping him on the roster. Had he been a G-league call up, we would've taken a chance on him and given him a minimum 1 yr deal but the way he's playing we would've waived him already.
We don't need to do it tomorrow but this offseason, I think we have some decisions to make.
