[Wolstat] Darko says Gradey Dick is on a special program right now strengthening, etc. but is “a big part of the future” and will be in the rotation soon. Will work in G League first.

    Chin up, Gradey

    I’m not too high on Gradey, unfortunately. I suspect he’s going to become our new Flynn.

    Who we really need back is Koloko.

    I know everyone focuses on the strength beside Gradey is quite skinny, but he also talked about how gassed he was in either summer league or preseason. I think he just needs some pro strength and conditioning for a bit before he can really benefit from experience.

    2 months of a strength and conditioning program and he should be where he needs to be to get started. Glad the team is taking the long term approach rather than rushing him when he’s not physically ready

    I was wondering this, with the trade it feels like there’s more room in the rotation.

    Dont see why he is riding the bench when he could be down with the 905? Either give him a couple of mins to spot up in the corner in the NBA or send him to the G League

    He has been with the team for the last few games and not played any mins. Makes no sense?

    I was never a serious weightlifter or anything but I noticed my arms didn’t move the same with more developed upper body muscle. Felt weird not being flexible enough to properly scratch my back.

    He’ll probably have to redevelop his shooting stroke once he reaches the desired weight/muscle mass.

    I wonder if this was a big focus for Malachi for the past few years. Oh well…

    Crazy how low the bar is for Gradey already as a lottery pick

  10. I mean…..how bad is it that our lottery pick can’t even get minutes on a depleted roster? He even looks lost in the g league. I’m not holding out my hope here. It’s one thing if you get to see flashes of something but the most interesting thing I saw from Gradey in the little bit of time he was allowed to play was that pass he made to Scottie from the opposite corner around Wemby to put up a 3 and beat the shot clock. It was a crazy pass. But other than that, I don’t see it.
