    TyTy Washington tore it up in the G-league, but he still can't hit shots in the NBA.

    The "developmental" league doesn't seem to develop anything. I guess that's why they changed the name.

    lol because he lacks confidence already !

    and to get more practice thus confidence under his belt and to develop handles!

    this is already problem if a young player hates to play more games, develop skills and gets more usage, especially if he looks at g league as demotion....

    there is no room for him to dribble the ball or shoot as many shots as he needs on rockets... he will waste this year, and perhaps will have to be sent to g league next year...THAT WOULD BE A REAL EMBARRASSMENT

    some of you really only care about face saving strategies, its not a small wonder you are almost all so tunel-visioned and limited in your thinking... you starved yourself and your brain of a real experience of living spending your days in neverending attempts to avoid embarrassment and save face

    how about small sample size?

    your perspective limited as always and just concerned with face saving strategies...not a great way to live!

    It's just a slightly different game there.
    Whether TyTy or Nix before him if you watch their highlights you see they are just able to get their shots off when scoring/etc...

    In the big league the players are just a little quicker, just a little stronger, jump just a little higher and the openings close faster.
    G-league basically gives them a chance to get consistent playing time and practice their craft playing full games.
    That's just not available as a backup on a NBA team.


    On Jabari I think what REALLY would be embarrassing is if they sent him down and he DIDN'T dominate like TyTy did!

    He's definitely got an ego so I wouldn't send him down and take a chance on crushing it.

    Gain confidence by destroying in the GLeague. I don't know why people have this notion that GLeauge means you are giving up on someone or they suck. It would be a great place for him to develop at his current level. If he dominates the GLeauge then his confidence is built, if he doesn't then that means he is right where he need to be.

    For what? Jsut to get shots up. He’s in a shooting slump. Simple as that. He does everything else. You’re overdoing it. The gleague is for reps.

    yes for the reps! he need more reps more playing time and more on ball time...

    and stop pretending that you explained something by saying he is in the slump. Not exactly a scientific term.

    he was never an elite 3pt shooter in the first place and his slump lasting the entire season now...lololol

    and no he is not doing everything else save shooting...couldn't be more wrong...

    YES!
    jamal murrey and others went to g league even after becoming established players when recovering from injuries etc

    whenever i want to learn a new move i try it first against weaker competition because its easier and i can focus on doing that and not sacrifice the win or other elements of my game

    It’s super surprising that no one has quoted you on the page where you quote someone 9 different times(lolol) and a single reply quote back when you talk like this.

    Maybe reassess what makes someone a “pussieeesss” insulting other individuals over the internet with volume that are supposed to be fans of the same team as you doesn’t make you a alpha male etc

    Im just trying to help you out. The 9 quotes with nada back should be an indication that you are not making the message board a more pleasant place to discuss the team that they root for. I hope you can do a little internal reflection. Perhaps it’s not the best usage of your time? I don’t know
