Me and @hoopsjock will be going live with our podcast around 4PM, and on that podcast, we're going to be grading each meaningful Blazer for their production so far this season (excluding Nurkic, Collins, Hoard, and Brown). You guys can tune in via the link below, but I also want to know what you guys would grade each player!
Dame B+ CJ C+ Whiteside B Hood B before he got hurt Melo C+ Baze D+ Herz D Trent C Ant C+ Skall C+ Little C Tolliver D
A collective F, but here are my individual grades: Stotts = F Neil = F - Dame = B CJ = D (I truly believe his ISO ball is biggest factor in this teams struggles) Hood = A Zach = D (Compared to expectations) Whiteside = A Simons = B - Bazemore = F Melo = C - (ISO ball)
Neil F (serious miscalculations) Stotts C- Dame A- CJ C Whiteside B+ Baze D Nurk Incomplete Hood B+ (before injury) Zach C- (before injury) Tolliver D Skal C+ Melo C+ Simons C Little C- Mario D Trent C+
Grading against expectations: Hassan A Dame = B Hood = B CJ = B Melo = C Trent = C Bazemore = D Simons = D Little = D Zach = didn't play enough Neil F Terry C KEY QUESTIONS 1. Will our injured players come back to full strength? Zach should be fine. Nurk is more iffy (??) Hood will probably never be the same (???) 2. Will Zach become the player we are all hoping for. Blazer future depends heavily on Zach! 3. A fully restored Nurk, Zach, Hood, CJ, Dame is a fine starting lineup. Then we got Hassan (for now) & Skal. After that we royally suck. Starters only play about 55% of the total minutes. Depth matters a lot!!!! We need 3 more player's to step up.
