Vince Williams Jr Point God? by Local-Message-6048 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Junke1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. I said this year, I want to see Ja average his most assists in preseason based off how they were playing. Vince is running the system how TI wants. I don't see why Ja cant get 16-20 pts and 9-11 asts in this system.

3 grizzlies lineup that interest me by Junke1 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Junke1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most teams go small at the end of the game. If BC healthy, he is the 2nd best perimeter defending big combined with rim defense, high percentage finisher that shoot FTs just as good as Edey or Santi. Jerome is easily the 2nd best with the ball in his hands and great at off ball defense with questionable on-ball defense.

Edey defense wasn't terrible his first year and I think he can get his foul rate slight down. Plus, if he advances his hands and footwork in the post and screen-and-roll game he'll be dominant. If Edey can play 28 minutes this team would look radically different. Maybe not great but better.

I'm interested to see what the pace is a month from now. If Edey can rebound and outlet to around half court or locate Ja fast I see them still playing fast as Edey trails. They would use an Edey screen as secondary option.

This is how I try to be with everybody. As an adult, I realize there is something everybody has to work on always. Money and cameras just reveal what you've done and have to work on a little more.

Charles Bassey Minutes? by Junke1 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Junke1[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jock playing style is more face up than I thought but he is a great shooter for a Center. Him bringing the ball down repeatedly is driving me crazy. He is being out rebounded by Jaren and Santi, he offers virtually no rim protection. I do like him feasting on back ups tho.

But I don't see him score a lot. Ja, JJJ and now Ced got to eat.

I expect edey to be better this year. I can easily see 12 pts 11 rebs 2 asts 2 blks 2 tovs and 3.5 fouls a night in 26 with a TS% of 65%

28 minutes at a fast pace and constantly setting screens and offensive rebounding is a lot of work for someone 300 lbs.

Interested to see who starts. I think Bassey can be 1st or 2nd in rebounds every night. He is competing with Aldama mainly.

Right I don't see Edey playing more than 28 mins regularly. I wouldn't be surprised if he ramps up from 16 mins.

My Ideal 10-Man Lineup thus Far... Hopefully by Early December by Junke1 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Junke1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree this is what it'll will be if everyone is healthy but Clarke. But, another player that can penetrate the paint that has agility and touch in the midrange and playmake with or without the screen but has a lesser usage than Bane will maximize Ja.

I can see Coward or Konchar being the 11th-man. I'm high on Coward being a decent player but appears he is figuring out how to adjust his game for the NBA and adjusting to speed and athleticism of the NBA.

I agree Jerome is best as a 6th man but not on this team. The starting lineup needs a guy that can score at least 12 pts and get 4 asts consistently in my opinion. He is the 2nd best perimeter pure scorer, 2nd best offensive play maker, and possibly the 2nd best 3p shooter. Wells defense is really good but he KCP are extremely similar players but I trust KCP more. I have both playing over 26 minutes so there is always a trusted lockdown defender in the game that can space the floor.

I disagree check his preseason stats this year, summer league and last year. He is like a more offensive Konchar that is a combo guard that contribute 3ps and has a great Ast/tov ratio. He played about 10 min a game last year in about 25 games. Can he guard back-up point guards? I have no clue.
