Trade with OKC

Judging against junior varsity?

Yeah I'm sure Ty Jerome looked all world as well in high school

 

I really think Washington has a lot of potential. I like him a lot.

 

Yeah I’m not very high on TyTy. Idk what the hype is tbh. I see a solid backup, not a good starter

 

I kind of question how much of it is serious.

 

He'll fit right in with the run and gun style we're trying to install :

 

Yeah, I had my views on TyTy and then I looked at some scouting reports.

One or two were spot on with the flaws I've seen.

I love his floater game which plays in nicely with Pick-n-Roll; but what about?

*Speed (or lack of.....KPj is not fast but utilizes his size with pause & hesitation well)
* One-on-one defense (poor)
* Transition defense (poor)
* 3-Pt shooting (poor)
* poor shooting from 12 to 19 feet
* Only 6'3"
* lack of speed and ball handling to get by one-on-one NBA quality defenders
* lack of lift/explosiveness to get to the rim consistently and finish
* Not much on rebounds
* Not much on steals
* I don't see great court vision (in summer league). Let's see with Rockets (Varsity)



I have to give him years to develop.....but right now I see him as early second round
project. We ended up picking him #29. So other teams see it that way as well.

Ty Jerome ( Pick-n-Roll Ball Handler )
Year.....games...possessions.....frequency......PPP.......NBA percentile
21/22:....48...............2.5.........................31.7............0.89...........64.3
20/21:....33...............3.1.........................29.2............1.19...........97.0

 

Weird to me that people didn't like this trade. We add a second-round pick to our cache of draft picks and walk away with the best player in the deal. I'm a little intrigued by Theo Maledon but I doubt the Thunder would just throw him into this salary dump if he had shown them much. I suspect somewhere along the line somebody will need a quality back-up big and we'll get another second rounder in exchange for Favors.

 

Poor dude probably knows he is about to get waived

 

I am probably wrong - but I thought Bruno is a 2-way, so outside the 15 roster spots (for now)
