I wonder if anyone else is like this; I take the most enjoyment in the process part of development. Like I love Dame but I’d be lying if I said I enjoy watching him more now than I did when he was a rookie. Actually, he might not be a great example since he was good from day one, but you know what I’m getting at. It’s too easy to root for established players. I like the unknown a little more. And putting my thoughts on unknowns out there will inevitably lead to being wrong from time to time. But when you believe in someone who hasn’t established themselves, and then he eventually does, oh mannnn does it make it worth it.

Same here. Remember when I used to skip the Blazer game, to write play-by-play on this board for the concurrent D-League game with a couple of our players in it?

I was choosing my priorities. Often, the predictable big league is more boring than the less perfect, more human minor league.

I kinda know what you’re talking about. Some of my favorite moments last season included Jake’s offensive outbursts and Game 82. We watch the stars so much, it can be fun watching something new.

Been a GTJ supporter from the jump. And while I've vocally supported Ant more on here, Gary is my guy (share a birthday and I love the Sr. Dynamic). Dame's amazing play this year has had me just sit back and say wooow quietly. Meanwhile GTJ has had me yelling Nice Work Gary! at my TV. Definitely a bright spot of the season especially since so many posters shat on him for a year and a half.

I never really understood why people shat on Trent before he even got a chance to play real minutes. I think Olshey deserves part of the blame tbh. I remember him saying how Trent was ready for the league after he drafted him. I trust Olsheys drafting but man needs to chill with the proclamations because it only adds unnecessary pressure. Just look at Ant. We’re talking about a late first that didn’t play college, but because of the shit Olshey said you’ve already got fans jumping down his throat as well.

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.

Takes time.....for the refs to stop calling every single ticky tack thing he does that they would never call on any established vet. Question is whether he'll survive in the league long enough for that.

Short of a miracle I will enjoy getting to see a lot more of wenyen and the other young guys. Got to find the good when it isn’t as easy to otherwise

And when they finally stop he'll dislocate his shoulder and be out for the year.
