Jaylen Hoard signs two way contract

[ABM]

Blazers aren't going to use a roster spot for someone already under contract with a 2 way and isn't ready to play in the NBA .

I do get that. Would he able to practice with the team?

If I'm reading this right, he could only practice with the team during the playoffs(?)

Can a two-way contract player appear in NBA playoff games?

No, a two-way player cannot appear on the NBA team’s playoff roster or play in a playoff game, but he can be on the inactive list during playoffs to travel and practice with the team.

A 2 way contract player can be with an NBA team for up to 45 days. Majority of time he will be playing for the G league team he is assigned to.

Looks like French Harkless has added some size. No way he’s only 210 lbs, his official listing.

Btw, I expect hoard will have his two way converted into a regular contract at some point this season. They signed him almost immediately after the draft, makes me think they would’ve targeted him in the second round had they traded back.

I would think Bend or Medford would make a good location as Bend has an airport nearby in Redmond and Medford has an airport and neither city has a major college basketball program to compete with. I know in the past the Blazers mentioned they would like a team to have a close proximity to Portland for when they send a player down or recall a player.

Seattle has an airport.

Seattle has an airport.

Yeah, but they are in Washington and with the talk of Seattle being a future expansion site it would be better to avoid that market. I'd rather see them put a team in Oregon.

But boy would be fun saying "Portland's G league team in SEATTLE!".

Exactly. I wasn't serious about Seattle, but Vancouver (the real one, not the Canadian copy) would be nice. I agree with Eugene or Medford.

Heck we could even make the colors Green and Yellow and call them the Mallards.

So Olshey seemed pretty high on Hoard during his media day availability. Considered him good enough to be drafted. Mentioned how he often played out of position at wake because he was their biggest player and also had an injury he was dealing with during the pre draft process that might’ve hurt his stock. Called him a “handling wing” who has a “physical profile you don’t find often in a big playmaking wing.” Said he’s been really good in workouts and they’ll have an entire year to work on his game, specifically his shot and inferred that he’ll most likely be given a standard contract for next season.

Sounds great. I haven't seen too much of Hoard overall (just summer league), but I certainly have not seen much of his "handling". I am eager to see it, but I won't really believe it until I do.

Some of his videos last year reminded me of a taller Batum, and that we before I knew he was French. Hoard is a very fluid athlete that makes everything look effortless. I hope he gets some PT. I fear both Hoard, Skal and Trent Jr. may get pushed back by too much talent/success ahead of them.

 

[Scalma]

Thoughtz on Hoard? He seems to always find the ball. His rebound % is impressive, especially if he’s going to be playing small forward when he’s not needed elsewhere, and he’s also averaging over 2 steals per 36. Should be a cheap depth piece next year as I’d be surprised if he didn’t get a standard contract.

Is Hoard the savior we all hope he is?

I don't think anybody is hoping that Hoard is going to save us

 

[bobf]

The French connection: Pushed out of his comfort zone, Wake Forest forward Jaylen Hoard is showing he's got game...

Very nice summary. I really liked the Aminu comparisons. But can he learn to shoot the trebuchet three?!

 

[rotary111]

I'm a big fan of this kid. Hustle and heart give him a chance to make it. He's a little out of control at times as to be expected from an undrafted kid.

All aboard the Hoard train!

 

[SIeepwalker]

I actually kinda like him. Might be a decent player in a few years

@Mediocre Man is apparently.

Simply asking

How close is Hoard getting to the 45-day limit with the Blazers?
I'm assuming we're close and with either have to convert his contract or send him back to the GLeague for the rest of the year soon.

Idk but I’m pretty sure he’s gonna just go back to the g league when his days are up.

 

[twobullz]

Hoard back to the G league? I hope moses went with him.

 

[OneSport3]

Hoard with 34 points and 12 rebounds tonight.

 

[Scalma]

Meanwhile Biggie gets actual minutes..bullshit.

 

[twobullz]

Hoard has to be getting close to his maximum number of days with the Blazers I would think.

let him max out, we need him now.

Even if Hoard is maxed out, Stotts have to be the biggest fucking dumbass to play the most trash fatass can't do shit player on our roster 23 minutes when some (at least somewhat) promising players are warming the bench.

Yes I'm pissed out of my mind right now

I don't blame Swanigan for this though so maybe we shouldn't be harsh towards him by calling him a trash fatass. It's not his fault Stotts played him at PF guarding a wing and made him be the guy double teaming Luka.

Well I don't blame him for playing but he just sucks. Yes this might have been too harsh but he still sucks and can't get into a proper shape in his 3rd year in the league
