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

Jury is still out for my boy, when he overcomes his back problems and lack of actual NBA skills lol

 

Just did a search for JHS on social media to see if ANY news on where he is physically currently, and all I can find is him on Instagram below and on Facebook with nothing newer there than a photo from Sept. 2023. He doesn't say anything on his posts on Instagram .... just pics and some are videos. The 2nd row down in the middle is some footage of him working again on dribbling and shooting from 6 weeks ago, so at least that's proof of life that far back after his bulging disc procedure.

Rooting for the kid















…… to try Texas Ribs

 

Greta!! You babe!! What a ball buster she would be to be married to.

 

Drinking while pregnant has consequences

 

She’s a professional actor used for a purpose, nothing more. I bet she eats ribs

 

his three came around in the g league last year; i'm really not super worried about that. he just needs to play defense. use that big frame on that end, and he'll be a solid nba player, imo. his handle is strong and he can pass decently. he'll never be a guy who can just break you down and score, but there's plenty of room in nba rotations for three and d players with good positional size.

 

yeah, the back injury is probably my largest concern with him. the other issue is that it's just hard to play inexperienced pgs when you're trying to win, imo. the growth curve can be slow for pgs and centers, particularly when they came out early.

as it stands, we shouldn't have to play jhs at all unless dlo or gabe gets hurt. even if that happens, my guess is max and reaves pick up some of the ballhandling and we might even go to reddish for perimeter defense before going to jhs.

what i don't want to see is him getting minutes primarily off the ball, like he did at times last year. that made no sense to me; put him in a position to fail. when he played his actual position, he looked better.

 

^^^ Darvin for the win …. errr …. errr …. never mind

 

That extra little hop though

 

Good caught, that's really weird. But yeah it's one of dozens of workouts so hope it's not a thing

If he manages to be playable, it's a huge win for us. We are so thin currently, and Gabe is injury prone so being able to rely on him here and there can help us a ton.

I still think our top6 with Rui/Vando is great when healthy. We can compete with any given team. It's when injuries crop up within that core that things can get really bad.
Because then we have 3 tiers of backups:
Tier 1: Gabe, Max, Knecht - solid backups, it's a win if any of these guys play so well that you don't 'miss' the starters
Tier 2: JHS, Reddish, Hayes, Wood - fringe backups, it's a win if they play good enough that we are happy giving them 15+ minutes
Tier 3: Bronny, Lewis and the 2-way - g-league players, they have to be balling out just to get to tier 2.

Too many unknowns from 9 guys on our roster. But if a couple of each tier raises their level, we'll be pretty good. It's up to the coaching staff as well to put them in positions to elevate their output

 

HATER




@KareemtheGreat33 WTF …. time for some birds and the bees level BBall talk with your boy!!

 

Is it not may be college 3 or something? So the space is smaller?

Otherwise is amazingly dumb.
