Did anyone watch him last year? I’d trade the guy
Raises the trade value.
Too much emphasis on 3 pt shooting! With Steph on his last leg, the league is abt to shift again.
😅 Grizzlies should thank the NBA for cheating Victor out of his DPOY award, because now they fina make it up to him by giving it to him for the next 7yrs.
Vince should be the starter. He's not someone who is ball dominant and can defend the best player from the 1-3 spots. Still thinking Jaren should be this team's starting center is MADNESS.
Jaren at power forward is the best version of JJJ. Not Center. He’s not a good rebounder, he’s a great help defender and we only saw him at center so much because he was the only uninjured starter for at least half of the season and showed he can score a bunch on the inside… but he scored a bunch inside from driving from the perimeter. He’s a decent shooter, he needs to be spreading the floor and he’s a little too small to not be a good rebounder and justify him being down there and banging bodies with jokic, embiid, Davis, holmgren and Wembenyama. He’s most comfortable at the 4 position, just let him play his most comfortable position.
I would be more open to starting Santi if he was playing the 3, but as they mention Smart will be starting. I also think it’s better to have Smart starting than coming off the bench. When he’s with Ja, Bane, Jaren, he knows his role is off ball. You get him out with the backups and he’s gonna think he should have the ball
Edey should start, cmon now?!?
I would be more open to not starting smart and putting Santi at the 3, but I think smart deserves to start.
Santi is a great off the bench 4 or 5.
