I've seen some videos of Giannis working on his jumper the last few days. It's hard to tell but looks like his guide hand isn't on top of the ball like it used to be and it looks more compact, here's to hoping.

He’s 24.

Yes, his defense got even better and his 3 point shooting improved.
still learning the game

He lost another year of development though. He'll be 25 in January and coming off another foot injury. Maybe he turns it around but, the amount of injuries he's had to his feet is more than concerning at this point.

how did he lose another year of development? He played the entire regular season.

The other way to look at it is that Donte might end up on a value contract due to the whole league knowing he has foot problems.

Maybe there’s at least one dumb team who would overpay him. Or maybe not.

Either way we have as good of an insurance policy as we could hope for in Grayson Allen. If we were to keep both of them one would need to be on a comparatively cheap deal, but more likely we make a choice btw them due to luxury tax considerations.

Would like to take a look at Tyler Bey on a training camp deal.
Dealing with people who exhibit the "smartest person in the room" syndrome can be a challenge. One approach is to listen their opinion while also encouraging open-mindedness. It's important to create an environment where all voices are valued.

Wonder why Garrison Mathews hasn't signed anywhere yet?

He was shooting even while he was riding the scooter.
It will take him some time to get 100% fit, but most of his development would be during the season.

Is his D really bad?

A look at his stats and I'd love to have him here.

He's not terrible, it's kind of weird that he isn't on a roster yet.

Would've loved to give the 2nd two-way to Matthews instead of Robinson.

I'm surprised Avery Bradley hasn't latched on anywhere either. Is he that bad now?

Brook Lopez is #82 on SI’s top 100 list. Take a look at some of the players ranked ahead of him and share your biggest gripe.

Kemba Walker at #69? D’Angelo Russell at #61?

Brook is also a year older and in certain matchups hes damn near unplayable.
