    Dude had stone hands. I don’t have the patience for any more of that.

    he could certainly sit in boban’s seat.

    My point was he would have been much better. What that much better would be is another discussion.

    He was switchable, very active, knew how to move on d, could make the right pass, could shoot open 3s on offense. That is a quite good place to start with for 20 something pick. He had stuff you could work on to play him 15 minutes a game. And he was only 20 with a lot of pro experience.

    but some things in life are luck. He got a team that had multiple players to develop with no system ran by a young, idiot, non-guard and a non-nba coach who additionally did not know how to develop players and did not know how to use centers at all other than a lob threat on the pnr.

    Dammit! We traded away a G-League star! This guy could've really helped the Vipers!

    Garuba was just 3 years from 3 years away but he is very slowly getting there.

    Can you imagine him, Cam Whitmore, Daishen Nix and Donte Greene together?

    Still shooting 40% from three in G League. Small sample size, just 33 three point attempts in 21 games. But that was supposed to be unsustainable yet its sustaining. I dont think he makes it in NBA, but he woulda been better under Ime. Better than early season useless Jock Landale & Boban at least

    This just in: 25 year olds are better than when they were 19 year olds.

    What an outstanding 4A player! He might make the G-League Hall of Fame.

    Well I agree that he definitely would be preferable over Boban.

    You guys don't understand HOW good Boban is in the locker room, though. He's, like, REALLY good. Like, ROOSH good.

    Interesting. Clips are also signing Kai Jones…
    Will the two Josh-es find work? Primo and Christopher.
    Booknight?

    What's Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington Jr. up to these days? I wonder if Josh is secretly some NBA players hump pillow at home.

    He wouldn't have broken our GLeague record since Hartenstein averaged 25 25
