    Glad for Josh he's getting another shot to prove himself.

    40 on a quarter is a remarkable achievement even in the summer league. Happy for him.

    Good for Josh. I like him more than Jalen despite the fact that he plays catcher.

    The problem with Josh is that he came in trying too hard to prove that he belonged in nba. Took ill advised shots and was a ball hog.

    Has great energy and decent tools to be good

    Just needs to except the end of the bench role and he’ll stick around

    Should be good for him. Heat culture is the polar opposite of Silas/KPJ culture.

    This I can agree with although I think that he can be better than "end of the bench". I could see him overachieve as a 8th/9th man. Sneak around, get paid to be more than that and then disappoint tremendously.

    1. Will Josh get playing time?
    2. What is his role, a scorer only now?
    3. Is he a scorer coming off the bench?

    When Josh Christopher was playing for the Rockets he was a defender and on offense plays only pick and roll with Alperen Sengun. Josh role was cut to the basket and dunk.

    So he has finally figured out that the path to him being a part of the NBA is to play a role?

    He thought he was a star before that... wow.

    Josh is in danger of falling out of the league.


    If the role player talk from MIA coaches to Josh doesn't work, does it mean 'heat culture' failed. ;)

    Bruh. :rolleyes:

    Jalen for all his faults was first team all rookie, part of the rising stars his 2nd year and won player of the month last year.

    JC's achievement is finding out he is a role player after he got cut and traded several times.

    Growing up means you know more about yourself as a player and your working environment.

    Humility is the best thing that could happen to him. Obviously if he cannot defend, he would still be gone.

    Obviously Green had the most physical talent out of those young players but neither him, KPJ or Christopher were very intelligent players.
