He does look like a bucket though.

😂 yea

He will get his shot at pre season/summer camp next year. Better light it up to have a chance at the nba.

We will know who the first 10 are. (Only guys who will be playing if no injuries)

This leaves 5 spots and two 2-way contracts for drafted players and guys like iggy Harper pinson Knox or Powell to fight for

Welp...so much for this...

Remember that N'Dour saga on here when he looked good in a preseason game and the Mavs swooped in and gave hime a2 year deal and then he stunk? Seems like teams love swooping and swiping our marginal players!

Only argument was that he should have gotten a 2 way contract. Kid has talent but a worrisome body type. Kind of player that can take off or fail miserably.

Other thought in my head is that with the NBA investing in GLeague and adding Ignite, they probably need to create rules that reward teams like the Knicks for investing in their GLeague affiliate’s infrastructure. To be positively training these kids and to have them picked off by the Rockets and Bucks is difficult.

Perhaps if there were a timeline on this (like the baseball rule 5 draft) that before the trade deadline teams can only pick players from their affiliate but after the trade deadline it’s open season... make it more of a minor league development league. Make it worthwhile for teams to develop players.

You forgot DSJ and Harper were also both in front of him as well. He signed a GLeague contract. All I’ve ever advocated for was a 2 way contract.

Kid is another gym rat that works out with Obi and Knox. He has talent, just the body type that makes people worry a little. But with the right group around him, I think he could really thrive. I mean FVV might be his uppermost tier, but he has the talent and the work ethic. I am not saying immediately, but he is the kind of guy you want hanging with this group.
