With 80% of our starting lineup on the bench, that makes Wenyan a borderline starter ;
I dont think so. I think @Scalma and @Rastapopoulos are really good at looking at young players and seeing their strengths, and thinking we should see if they can play. I dont hear either of them really “over-hype” guys, they just see potential and want to give guys run, or in some cases want to run them away from us.
That might be true, but i'm really tired of "potential", i want proven players and not more projects.
I concur.
2 of those guys are contributory role players though. Simons is completely fine as an 11th to 13th guy, and should be better than that next year.
I think his potential at this point is more defensively than offensively so PER and PPG is not what Id be looking for. I think he moves his feet very well, needs to trust himself and not reach, he commits fouls kind of like Zach does, he’s in position, why use his arms / reach when he doesnt need too.
Well the leagues changed a lot defensive specialists struggle to get minutes if they cant hit three’s. So a lot of it will depend on if he can make that shot translate to real game scenario’s.
He's got to learn to space and then he has to make his threes. Defense is so very important but as we all have witnessed in the last 3 years you have to be consistent or have some form of offensive game so you are not a black hole. Gotta make the other team respect you. I watched a couple possessions in the last few games where i was sure we got Aminu back. He has no clue what to do with the ball in his hands YET. For me it's way to early to predict a PER,PPG,RPG type ceiling. If he can play it could be decent but if you can't put him on the floor against starting lineups his career will be short. As far as fouls go i was shocked by what Hurd and Calaboro said about him last game. I have never heard quite that kind of negative comment? Fouls are part of the game and those issues can be worked on. Takes time.
I agree.
