Is that possible with the covid restrictions? Is he planning on going back to Australia?

If/whenhe goes back he’d have to quarantine for a couple of weeks, as he did when he went down there last time. I think he had to spend 2 weeks in a hotel room, bored stiff.WarriorGM wrote:watch1958 wrote:I heard he is coming over for Summer League. I guess we will see how it works.

Justinian Jessup Returns To Illawarra in Australia
Golden State Warriors 2020 second-round pick Justinian Jessup will again play in Australia during the 2021-22 season. Jessup spent last season with the Illawarra Hawks, after being drafted by the Warriors.
Jessup played in 2021 Las Vegas Summer League for Golden State. He started all five games and averaged 12.4 points per game on 42.9% shooting from behind the arc.
Jessup was drafted with the 51st pick after being a four-year starter for Boise State. He was then sent to Australia as a draft-and-stash player. The 6-foot-6 wing started 38 games for Illawarra. He averaged 13.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game as a rookie in the NBL.

No good, I expected at least a bit of improvement from him.

So we're down on that now? Frankly he should have made the team this year.. guys who know how to play the game in their early 20s typically carve out long careers. As I said in the entire preseason/SL - he's good enough now, and sending him back to AUS isn't going to help him much. He's an unheralded Dunleavy type, and when you get one of those without selecting them in the top 3, that's not a bad thing at all
24 and not making the league on a team that has had a 25 year old rookie (Lee), a 26 year old rookie, and a 29 year old breakout candidate (who was a rookie at 25 years old).

I do agree initially with the idea that he will NEED to be a sniper in the NBA, but I don't think it needs to be to the extent of Kennard. That dude is one of best shooters in the league and also has some playmaking skills. I don't think Jessup being Kennard is the floor for him. Thats more the ceiling (maybe with less offensive skill but better defensive ability).
Perfect situation is somehow he makes it through waivers and we can sign him to a 2way deal. But we may have to give him the 15th roster spot (which I doubt we really have a lot of open spots next year).
