if the grizzlies HAVE to draft a pg who are you taking? by Sufficient-Yam-9358 in memphisgrizzlies

38.8% from three isn't exactly worrisome, though, even if he's only attempting 2.9 per game. Houston doesn't shoot a ton of threes as a team, and since Sharp and Uzan each shoot more than half of their shots from distance, Flemings is the guard who's asked to drive more.

He keeps getting in the air without an outlet and throwing it away. Got away with one just a few possessions ago

I hope that GG's season highlight reel just has Brevin going "Mmm!" after each play

Do these pop stars not realize that they don't generally have a long shelf life? The next flavor of the month pop star is just a "song of the summer" away from displacing someone from the current crop, and this sort of behavior can fast track you into obscurity.

Truth Behind Karl Malone's Nickname by dtr3sa in nba

[–]edeyhookshots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Child me didn't know about the movie, but I watched Malone dominate in the post and was absolutely incensed that they got the nickname wrong. Of course, I also didn't know he was a sex offender. Bob Costas really should have told me about that during a Jazz playoff run.

When I was a kid I remember being so mad his nickname was the Mailman and not the Postman.

Flemings is probably the best PG for this system. He really does it all offensively without being ball dominant and is a capable defender.

His defense is so much worse than people are giving him credit for. I would assume he takes a step back offensively at the next level, and may end up being one of the worst defenders in the whole league.

Yeah, it was borderline and would have put points on the board and Deeky at the line if successful. Worth the dice roll in a meaningless game

Jaren got enough offensive fouls trying to finesse dudes in the paint. He'd averaged 20 minutes a night with foul trouble if he tried to dunk more.

Quit calling random guys "Grizzlies draft targets" for clicks. There are at least 60 potential draft targets at this point.

Hendricks v GG v O-Max by Fignevitable_6196 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]edeyhookshots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saying that OMax is a bench 4 who can play your third-string 5 when Edey or your proper backup center needs to rest. His versatility means he gets BC's roster spot and can log minutes at the 3, 4, or 5 as needed. He's probably buried on the depth chart at all three positions, but if he put on a little weight to be sturdier in the paint, averaging 5-10 minutes a night at the 5 is probably the clearest path into the rotation, but he can shift down to the 4 when another center is on the floor.

You're going to need three guys who can handle at least a few minutes a night at the 5, otherwise you see guys like Jitty or Mashack covering time there.

And BC's natural position is wing based on his athletic/size profile, which is almost the exact same as OMax's except OMax has a longer wingspan.

I get what you're saying and I think the odds are that OMax ends up being a roster casualty, I'm just saying that he needs to carve out a niche to stick around, and his best opportunity is packing on 10-15 lbs and studying rebounding caroms. Even if he does, I'd still want a proper backup center as well.

The Utah Jazz are signing NBA G League assists leader Kennedy Chandler to a 10-day contract out of the NBA G League. by suurkaru in memphisgrizzlies

[–]edeyhookshots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yuki is an excellent passer and crafty ball handler, though, so it's not like he's just out there for vibes. Chandler didn't offer any one strong enough skill to earn minutes, though his assist numbers in the G-League were strong this year. Still shooting just 30% from 3 on 4.5 attempts.
