He plays like a budget version of Jalen Brown, with limited hops and quickness. Imagine a washed up Jalen Brown, a diminished Jalen Brown, or any similar analogy you prefer to highlight the noticeable drop in athleticism and effectiveness. I wonder if Ime sees a bit of JB in Griffen
Plus injuries open up minutes for someone. Last year Dillon, Alpi, Tari, and Amen all missed significant time.
Well the hawks also took a guy first overall who might be one of the worst selections of all time at that spot, traded a bunch for Murray who hasn’t worked out, and haven’t done much since their run to the ECF
The Rockets are basically run by Kevin Pelton. A.J. is another Pelton guy, ranked higher than Tari and Jabari in 2022.
Yeah... last season was a bit weird. Hopefully a change of scenery does the trick. Maybe they'll send him to the SL.
Yeah. He had injury problems pre-draft which kind of dropped him, but I've been reading he was a little squirrely after being drafted. As long as he isn't losing his mind or something, this could be a good gamble. The fact it only took the #44 pick to get him is somewhat frightening. Athleticism for days on this team now - just don't ruin it with knuckleheads. @Nook, isn't this your guy?
You might be the only one that would prefer that clown show. You'd have Lebron demanding the Rockets trade the 3 dudes ahead of "Bronny" on the depth chart to the Lakers so he can be a star .... on a tanking team.
Outside of some two-way contracts, that’s your team. Save one spot to trade a player into the MLE later.
