I thought this happened a month ago?
2 months ago.
Time Flies!
This is from August
Caris was really good last night!
Duncan was not, but he got 15+ minutes of run, which bodes well (even though they didnât have Butler or Waiters in uniform).
Donât think heâll have to worry about Waiters
Waiters was quietly very good last year (shooting 38% on nearly 7 three-point attempts a game). Sort of what youâd hope Duncan can do in theory.
Yeah I didnât mean cause Waiters was bad, but seems like he and the Heat are on the outs.
I read that theyâd been trying to move him for most of last year with zero interest. Now with the suspension I donât think Duncan has much to worry about there, he just needs to knock down his shots.
I would tend to think Waiters is going to play because they are going to want to dump that $12 million salary, and they wonât make him more appealing by stapling him to the bench.
Regardless, Butlerâs presence will obviously reduce Duncanâs minutes in some fashion.
Iâll never not love Jordan Poole⌠even if he did miss 250 straight threes to close out last year. Love seeing him in the rotation for the Warriors
Yep. Rooting hard for the kid.
Pretty crazy to see him and GR3 out there
Well, Jordan is keeping that âmissing threesâ streak alive.
At least hes not shyâŚ
Poole ( 2-13 ) 1-7 from deep for 5 points in debut.
Glen with 13 and 5. Warriors blown out by Clips.
Moe with 10 and 7 in a win last night. Might be carving out a role.
Wanna bet? He can excel just like he came into michigan with lo expectations. Nobody expect him to perform and lead UM in scoring? Some fans are funny. I think Iggy has a chance to be a good player. I bet no one thought of Caris as a phenomenal pro? Nobody thought Poole would be drafted as high. Um fans are the worse. They give up on players ectâŚI think that iggy can be a phenomenal pro if put in the right situation. The kid is talented. It may take years but he can be just as good as Caris and THJ âŚthey are making bank and nobody thought that they will be good prosâŚI remember after the Arizona game, someone posted " caris is terrible. Not very talented. If Iâm a nba scoutâŚIâm not touching him" and someone also posted " he was a 2 star for a reason, he has no talent". This is how we treat our players. I think iggy can be a phenomenal pro and I donât care who doesnât like it.
I love Iggyâs pluck, but see him as a pretty limited NBA player. Hope that I am wrong! I just questionedâaboveâwhether he was likely to become an NBA starâthat still seems like a leap.
I think many of us thought that Caris was perhaps the best NBA prospect Beilein ever had.
Duncan scored 9 on 3/5 from 3 in 23 minutes for the Heat, as they beat the Bucks despite missing Jimmy Butler. It will be interesting what happens to his minutes when Butler comes back, lots the Heat unproven wings - Derrick Jones, Kendrick Nunn, Tyler Herro are playing pretty well so far.
