    Some people were speculating so he could get some run in their practice.

    Honestly, it might be better for his development to get more experience in the GLeague. He's only 19. It would be like playing college ball. Especially when we get Simons and Brogdon back.

    G leauge is considerable worse talent than college. We’ve now seem the majority of players who come from there to the nba terribly struggle.

    Yeah I never bought the idea that it was a 'professional' league.

    It's the semi-pro league, many of them were good/decent college players. It's a step up.

    After watching the G League, I don’t agree. He needs to get a feel for the NBA. The G league is considerably worse.

    That doesn't seem logical, because most g-league players CAME from division I colleges, so how can it be worse? They are more experienced as well.

    The only way to know for sure would be to have them play each other.

    Are you talking about Scoot?

    Scoot is the only Trail Blazer that has a clue how to throw a pass to Ayton.

    The rest of the team it's just a lot of god awful passes.

    The players don't play to win, they play to get theirs, and showcase their skills.

    College ball is much more structured.

    His offense is historically bad though. His TS% is under 40%. It's worse than Nolan Smith, who is probably the crappiest guard in Blazer history.

    Keljin Blevins is offended that you didn't recognize his name.

    Man I almost had an Aneurysm reading the ESPN "Henderson assigned to G-League" I was like OMFG what are they seeing at practice?!!??! Then I find out it was some conditioning thing and he was instantly recalled. Wow are they trying to causing cardiovascular injuries to the fan-base!??!?!?

    But that's all we have to go off of right now. Of course he will probably get better, but it's got to be MASSIVE improvement.

    It's usually rat ball. Very little structure, and everybody's trying to audition for a better paying gig.

    I would suspect it's unfamiliar with most fans of any NBA team, since most fans of NBA teams are fucking idiots.
