I assumed he did it on purpose, but otherwise yeah real missed opportunity

If RJ is the leading minutes getter on a 19-15 team after playing like dogshit for 15 games or so, we must be missing something. Mitch isn’t Wilt, Randle isn’t LeBron, Grimes/Cam isn’t Michael Jordan, and Brunson, bless his heart, isn’t CP3. And no one on our bench is all that good either.

If there is one thing I’ve learned from having actual young guys who need development on the one NBA team that I follow closely, it is that development can take a long time and still happen even when many have up on future growth. And it’s not a linear process at all. So I haven’t given up on RJ. He could still turn out to be worth more than his salary and make us all believers.

I like Anthony Black and Gradey Dick.

E threw a 3-1 fastball down the middle and y’all took a called strike 2.

not sure who the guy is playing quarterback for the new york jets…I’m digging his beard, tats, and the fact he played in the canadian football league…

I am now entertained…

This isn’t the first stretch of decent play we’ve seen from RJ. In fact that’s kind of his thing: come out and play horribly for about 20 games, then have a decent run of games that makes it look like he has turned the corner. Thus far in his career he has not been able to sustain these periods of strong play, and has always ended up regressing and ending up with mediocre-to-bad overall numbers. It wasn’t unexpected that he’d have a nice run like this.

Maybe this time will be different, but so far season 4 of this show is playing out pretty similarly to seasons 1-3.

being skinny isn’t actually too much of a concern for a big or anyone.. the game isn’t like the 80s where you need to wrestle with people for boards…. and even skinny guys did ok…

just think about what happens on the basketball court… where are the situations where strength matters more than quickness and length? all the quick twitch stuff and length helps you get to more balls… deny drives… shoot over people …

strength helps… but that is literally the only reliable thing that gets better over time…. kd.. ad… bosh… kg…mcgrady… pau.. kobe were all rail thin coming in and that didn’t stop them from dominating from the jump… and when they got stronger and filled in it helped them get better as they got slower….

Victor is so athletic for his size which is what makes him such an incredible prospect… the fear is that he turns into just another kp… someone who hasn’t developed the foundational elements of a big to carry teams…. just standing outside the 3pt line would be capping his ceiling unless he turns into KAT… that and the health risk which is way higher than normal….

“There’s a better chance of us getting Dick.”

no pun intended

Among guys who are even semi-realistic for us Keyonte George is the apple of my eye, but I see no way he falls to 11 when all is said and done. Does too many things too well.

There’s a better chance of us getting Dick.

RJ is up to 63% at the rim by basketballref’s numbers.
