    Were there some reports on this? I can't remember if I read something about him being in the coach's doghouse or if that was just my guess as to why he fell off the map in Atlanta.

    AJG needs to go back in the G- League so he regain confidence.

    Fortunately there's no sinning in Houston to upset his sensibilities. I wonder if he's the kind of dude who will join his teammates at gents' clubs so he can try to convince the dancers to give up their heathen ways.

    I love this trade. What's not to love? He also has that really fun shot, with his feet spread apart so far.

    I don't think he's going to qualify for summer leauge. It's usually first and second year players. I think you can get in if you've been out of the league for a while.

    I remember hearing that he fell out of favor there, but Atlanta seems kind of disfunctional, so I don't know how much to hold against him. He seems to have some skills, so I don't mind taking a chance. He's going to have to work hard to crack this rotation, but more power to him. Anyone who has upside is welcome.

    I don't think there is anything stopping him other than if he thinks he is above that or thinks to put it more delicately it would not benefit him. The dude is super young though still 20 for another 2 months. Hell he is 6 months younger than Amen Thompson even.

    Hopefully he does go.

    I saw a graph yesterday about the best pedigrees for NBA success.

    #1 was “Father played in NBA"
    #2 was U of Kentucky

    we did good.
    (I can’t find it now, if someone can, please post it here)

    Seikaly was alright. He's the world's tallest DJ now (lol). Coleman never lived up to his potential - could've been a bad-ass, but he was still pretty good.

    Historical analytics tell us UK dudes are better than UConn dudes. That's how they finally decided between Sheppard and Clingan. :)

    He is a very talented basketball player, before injuries he was the top in his high school class. He missed almost two years in high school injured, then started his year at Duke hurt- then last year was hurt…. He is a case of “could have been”… but he is still a top level shooter if healthy.
