I am ok with this
Awesome. Dude showed some explosive talent. Just needs to cut down on the dumb turnovers.
Cool. Can be used for trade bait by the deadline, Ochai is older than him, and it’s funny how we call Ochai our future, while he is older than Talen
Decent contract for a young player with upside.
I’ve never seen a more erratic player surprise me by making the biscuit go in the basket more than THT. Welcome back, we need point guards
I’m so down for another year of THT. If he can slow his game down another notch while improving his decision making, I’d love to hold onto him for the foreseeable future.
Was not expecting this at all. Wonder if he is flipped before the start of the season. We shall see.
Huh, I wasn’t expecting this at all.
THT’s next step is improving his hero ball syndrome otherwise he’s trade fodder.
I love his role with us and he’ll continue to improve. This is a W
Great news! We definitely have 1 more year to see if THT at PG can work.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
I ain’t mad about it.
Man, I’ve gotta admit I’m really high on THT
I’m definitely okay with this
YES. There was so much growth in January – March. Excited about this. Although I still wish Mike Conley was here to guide him
I’m honestly surprised, I thought he may have suitors in free agency given how barren the market is this summer.
That being said, I’m glad we’re keeping him. He started showing some flashes of really figuring it out later last season, and given his age it’s definitely worth giving him a shot.
I still don’t know how to feel about THT. Single digit BBIQ, but makes some crazy plays at times. It’s always “Yes, yes, NO”, or “No, no, YES”.
This whole time I thought the idea of him opting out and getting more than $11M was crazy unrealistic though.
THT isn’t really that good… had some fun games near the end of the season though.
Going to need a prayer circle that his offensive decision making and shot quality improved dramatically. I don’t mind him in a limited role off the bench though.
If we get assertive THT with like 6-7 assists and around 2 Turnovers a game, I think he might be a huge part of the team
THT is a bench player. Ochai Agbaji should be playing d 2 spot in regular minutes.
