    Hoping we make a consolidation trade, address enough issues to where we have a spot to give him a partial or non guaranteed deal. Don't think teams are wanting to lock up roster spots on guys like him until post trade deadline and buyout flurry.

    yeah, i'm starting to wonder if we all got over excited about him, too. maybe the truth is simply that nobody thinks he's that good, including us.

    i liked him on the two-way, but we didn't even really give him a shot when we had guys injured (conversely, koloko has gotten real burn on several occasions).

    i still think he can play, though, so maybe we do have a long-term plan there.

    My concern/complaint is: 1) he can play and we let him walk while retaining position overlap. 2) we are supposed to be fostering this new development program. For who? Outside of Max, our young guys are old "young" players. If that's not just a b******* line, we have to start keeping some of these guys around and developing them and KEEPING them (not buying them a 1st class ticket to Memphis).

    Another possibility, i guess: we get rid of some of the center dead weight, promote Koloko to a regular roster spot and give Quincy his 2-way back

    the real question is what were the offers he turned down to come back here? just other g league offers? or did he turn down a two-way somewhere? knowing that would help me understand what's happening.

    though i still can't quite figure out how traore (who i like!) was retained over quincy.

    We tend to got overhyped, over some marginal talent all the time. I don't think Quincy was viewed to be as valuable, around the League, as a lot of folks thought.

    Ahh what the heck .... bump. Keep working at it Quincy someone will pick you up and you'll hopefully stick in a rotation in the NBA. But seems like Jordan Goodwin is the answer to why Quincy really got not much burn at the varsity level and lost his 2-way. If he was on a hot streak burying them from 3 it would be fun watching Quincy and Jordan playing in some off the bench minutes.

    Keep it up Q!

    If we convert one of the bigs, he needs to go back on the two-way just to prevent poachers and give him reason to want to stick with the team.

    Excellent range and floaters by the basket including off the glass. Definitely need to keep him. The farm system is working!

    I REALLY wanted Q on the roster before Goodwin showed out. Now, I’m greedy and want both.

    Seems like Quincy has the higher powered offensive arsenal while Jordan is the stronger defender. With Bronny I’m projecting possibly playable next year we’d need only one of those guys. After Gabe is gone. Anyone watching the G-League games have an opinion as to Quincy’s defensive potential vs Jordan’s? Kind of apples to oranges though with Jordan doing it vs NBA players and Quincy vs lesser competition, plus Jordan’s 6’5” 215lbs and Quincy’s only an inch taller than Bronny at 6’3” and similar weight at 200lbs.

    If … rather “when” we convert Jordan to a contract it will probably be at least 2 years with or without team or player option …. so @TIME it’s not looking good for Quincy other than maybe converting back to a 2-way?

    I've seen maybe one entire G- League game this season. So this is more so based on what we've seen from in summer league and his measurables cause height, weight, reach, and wingspan are all very similar. Maybe Gary Harris as a comp. Harris has almost a 4" higher vert, BUT Q has him beat with speed.

    Is he as laterally as fast/faster than Jordan? How about Bronny? Who has greater potential between Jordan and Quincy toward hopefully getting to where Max was when he left us? That was so damn nice the way he had moved up into that capability.

    I don't think either guy has Max's potential. Goodwin is kind of giving us what GP2 gives to GSW - a good defender, high energy player that hits an open shot.

    Max can be a premier POA defender and stellar 3pt shooter. His ceiling is much higher. But all we need is 10-15 min rotation level players, and Goodwin seems that already.
