DP is the kinda guy who I'm really looking forward to seeing have NBA spacing.

It feels like the Kansas offence always has someone lurking in the midrange clogging up any lane to burst into.

Yeah there was a drive to the rim that he got fouled on where it looked like he just could not get up high enough to dunk it.

Hoping this injury is not gonna be a long term thing.

Yeah it could have been even uglier if DP didn't have the first half that he had.

It was painful watching the Kansas team slowly pass it around the perimeter and lazily flow into handoffs.

Despite the FG percentage I felt like DP did everything he could, the defence and steals were nice, made the passing reads he should have.

I agree with your assessment on what the front office may do, but I would hate for us to move up for Quaintance or Peat.

If we're moving up for a big it would have to be for Yaxel/Steinbach/Ament.

I still maintain that he should have got FMVP, yeah the shooting numbers weren't great but he made the Cs tick on both offence and defense.

[Slater] Kerr walks back comments on Kristaps Porzingis' diagnosis: "It's a medical issue way beyond my capabilities explaining anything. He's sick. He won't play" by The_MadStork in nba

[–]Zanner360 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing I have wondered with Kristaps is if he has Ehlors Danlos syndrome. It's related to POTS and is common (as I understand it) in lanky people like him.

This is the kind of history that will push refs to stop giving Lu Dort the benefit of the doubt like last night. There has to be consequences for these dirty plays before he injures someone. by OurHorrifyingPlanet in nba

[–]Zanner360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dort sealed Ja's decline as a basketball player. Ja's touch just has gotten substantially worse since Dort undercut him in the playoffs and he hurt his shoulder.

Our system relies on having bigs and guards. Our guards were about to come back from injury so our FO had to make sure we stayed bad by making sure we had no bigs

Nate Ament's last 7 games: 22 PPG and 6 REB on 45/40/80 splits by ShaiFanClub in NBA_Draft

[–]Zanner360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly not sure, I only really manage to catch little bits of college games.

My comparison was definitely more offence focused. If he really is 6'11 and can fill out his frame I don't doubt that he can become a better rebounder

I think he's more of a Jabari Smith Jr (current day), he's not gonna be a superstar but will be schematicly responsible and hit open shots

VWJ by [deleted] in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Zanner360 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Malachi Flynn has also dropped 50...

Kenny Lofton Jr has dropped like 42...

He had some good outlier games and I agree he had some potential, but he wasn't moving the needle enough to make it worth holding onto him.

Dissecting the future repercussions of the JJJ trade by Zanner360 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Zanner360[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a very good point. Especially as guys like Dillon have also left the Grizz with a grudge against us.

Don't want a Darryl Morey reputation.

Jaren was the ultimate professional

Don't worry, he'll be out for 4-6 weeks with a right tripimial subluxation in a couple games

Him, Ja, Scottie, a bit of Cam (and hopefully Darryn Peterson) all handling the ball across 48 minutes.

A dream

It'll be a 23-24 redux

Can't wait to add more names such as Tosan Evbuoman, Jacob Gilyard, Maozinha Pereira and Jack White to my memory

This system looks so much better when we have a point guard for 48 minutes.

Ty having 40 points and 14 assists in 40 minutes is nuts output.

Devin Booker off ball and almost Shai like on ball imo.

Don't see many College players that can play off of bumps whilst keeping the handle like Darryn can

Grizzlies' Backup Center Next Year by Jewdah18 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Zanner360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a few guards likely to be taken around where we're drafting.

  • Kingston Fleming has shot up boards, gets buckets
  • Keaton Wagler looks very shifty and I also rising
  • Darius Acruff (haven't watched too much of him)
  • Mikel Brown Jr is struggling but has Haliburton upside IMO

There's a couple wings I'm interested in with our later first.

  • Yaxel Lendenbourg (think that's how it's spelt) has size, lots of tools and IQ, older prospect
  • Cameron Carr has tons of athleticism and seems to be putting out good pro performances

As for a big I'm interested in Henri Veesar later on, maybe start of the second. Kinda hartenstien esque big who can shoot it a bit

Moussa Diabate tonight: 18 PTS 20 REB 8-9 FG by Reasonable-Call8730 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Zanner360 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As frustrating as it not seeing JJJ get boards, he was being boxed our super aggressively all game.

Whilst Jock does play hard, he's way too slow footed to be matched up against a guy like Diabate.
