Which scrub would you keep?

[Rastapopoulos]

Compare and contrast

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Second half stats: Brandon Williams has by far the best.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Lillard even though his stats in the 2nd half of this season were the worst on the team.

 

[Labinot41]

I would keep Sly.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Everybody's picking Keon Johnson. How much of that is sunk costs and hope that we got SOMETHING from the Clippers?

I'll tell him you called him a scrub

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'll tell him you called him a scrub

And I'll tell him you don't want to keep him.

[SlyPokerCat]

I would keep Sly.

Thanks man.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

No, I don’t want no scrub. A scrub is a guy who can’t get no love from me. Maybe Jay Scrubb.

 

[HansenYang]

In order of preference -

Johnson
Williams (TW)
Didi
Dunn
Hughes

I think Dunn & Hughes are gone regardless. Johnson & Williams will stay. Didi is the one I question. Did he show enough for Portland to keep him around?

why is keon johnson being considered "scrub" by the op

the guy is a rookie

I guess it has nothing to do with the trade. He just has more potential than the other guys. He'll be 20 years old for most of next season, younger than some 2022 draftees like Jaden Ivey.

 

[brooklynballer]

Elijah Hughes because he has some size at 6’5” but mostly because he’s from Poughkeepsie, and I like saying Poughkeepsie.

In all seriousness though, none of the players listed have shown that they belong on an NBA roster (or at least part of an NBA teams rotation) anytime soon.

 

[Strenuus]

You put Keon Johnson on this but don't put the NBAs biggest scrub Keljin Blevins on there?

 

[Chris Craig]

Get rid of all of them

 

[oldmangrouch]

You know what? At this point just keep them all, let Simons/Nurk/Hart walk as FA, give Cronin a long-term deal, and just say fuck it!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

You forgot Cronin on that list.

Out with all of em

Except Keon - he at least has upside

 

[blazerkor]

Of the guys you mentioned only Dunn has played long enough to be considered a scrub. The rest are prospects and while none of them look like superstars the one that seems to have the best chance to be a player that could get rotation minutes on a contending team in the pretty distant future is Keon.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Looks to me like Johnson is just a shorter Thomas Robinson - a tools goof who has never actually learned how to play and likely never will.

 

[tykendo]

He doesn't want to be free, he wants to lead. You are the one with the wandering eye. You're the guy with a hot, beautiful, girlfriend who loves you, but you aren't satisfied and need a side fling. Usually a side fling with someone who isn't even that special.

 

[tykendo]

I think Brandon has the most upside. More that Johnson IMO. And i think he will benefit from playing with real finishers. I like Dunn, but don't know if he'd be satisfied with an end of the bench role.

 

[HoopsFanAZ]

Keon Johnson. Keep the young athlete and see if he develops.
A close second is none of the above.

Let's go Brandon!
