IM constantly reminded by the Interview Macri did with his assistance coach at West virginia after he was drafted. Coach complimented his family, the kid, and his work ethic. He really had emerged in second half of sophmore season and though was if he stayed another year he’d go first round. I Duece made the choice and understood he’d sit for 2 years and learn and grow but better to do it at this level than in college. Granted, lots of players say this and fail. We only here saying this today because he is succeeding. The ups and downs, the inconsistency is all part of development. Obviously the defensive chops were and that kept him the apple in the coaches eye.
If he has another gear to go we don’t have to bring in Brogdon (who gets hurt often). Also, if need be his level of play and on a rather modest contract he becomes a big trade chip.
He is becoming what we had hoped Frankie would have been.
Teams make mistakes all the time but the good ones get to count successes. Our two Allstars this year!! Both Free agent signings. Not over the hill starphuchs but young up and comers who got stuck for reasons well documented. Shout out to Steve Mills and scott Perry for Randle, and of course the CAA family for Jalen! Funny that of all the CAA conspiracies we have read about this was the one!
Lets get Grimes back on the developement bandwagon, make a run to ECF’s and then let Leon, Gerson, and Aller all have fun this summer!

And not the stalkery reasons you dirty dogs are thinking about, although the fit ladies in bikini's make it very easy to focus on body movements. Juniors to D1 and then I skip to particular level of pro.
