Jalen Hood-Schifino Discussion: Team Declining 3rd Year Option!

Yeah have to admit I've lost the rest of the beer in my half full mug with what I've seen so far this year. I find myself wanting bad to see more of Olivari .... handling the ball instead and shooting it and especially on defense.

 

I’m running out of patience, as well.
That being said, he still has time to develop.

 

This is the game he should have played even adequately… got all the playing time got all the chances

 

I'm sorry, but this kid is a bust.

 

His jump shot form looks like hes throwing up a shotput.

Almost like some coach said a high release point is good and he trying to hard to do it

 

Couldn't show up for the South Bay Showcase game tonight.

Had one 1.5 decent pre season games and then regressed back into the pumpkin from last year.

Bronny and Olivari are both currently better. Neither cost us a #17 pick either.

Really disappointed. How can you allegedly impress in camp, the g-league and every other behind the curtain process and then look sooo lost out there with the big squad.

End of career MWP was a better ball handler. It's painful to watch. He has no awareness or ability to prevent the defender from getting the ball from him. That's not a point guard, today.

 

this is what i can't wrap my mind around.

whatever, it is what it is right now. he either improves dramatically or we might not pick up his third year option next year.

i'd vote for olivari getting his minutes (and bronny's for that matter).

 

His contract this year should be treated as expiring because there is no way i'm picking up that team option. Hell if the right player becomes available for the vet min I would cut him and/or Lewis to free up a spot.

 

we can't cut someone and sign people due to the second apron. i think we can do it with two-ways, as i don't think they factor into the cap.

 

We need a trade to open up roster spots sadly no one wants our trash without attaching draft capital

 

But we don’t have to resign him next year so there's that at least.

 

How dare you! Some guys just take time to develop…

 

i know you're joking, but it's true. but drafting a 19 year old when you don't really have that time is an odd choice.

and maybe the FO feels we do have that time, and they plan to be patient. we'll see.

 

I'm doubtful in him too. But is being at least a year away or worse than those drafted around you is considered an illness?

 

Well these injury/availability reports are politely written it won't say he sucks

 

Sounds like Koloko is cleared and in house ... just working on conditioning. Oh Hell Yeah!!
