Yeah I think that with guys like Walker and Watford, no one expects a guy in that range to ever be more than a solid contributor. But at the same time, if we keep drafting guys who are smart defenders with that are already good at one thing offensively, they should be able to step in and contribute the way Miami keeps finding ways to put guys I’ve never heard of in the game. Bringing Mike Schmitz on makes me excited for the upcoming drafts, even if we have to trade our 1sts.
Is Alexander even eligible for a two way? He has one year of experience. He’s also older than Drew Eubanks…
Tbh, I don't see anything that special in Alexander even if he were eligible. I feel like there are plenty of GLeague bigs every year who are better than him. I'd rather keep the two way until later and have Schmitz scout a guy for us who is younger and has upside that we can poach from the GL later on in the season.
Alexander’s speed and quickness with his height and length are well beyond normal for an NBA big. Reports of his having a jump shot, aside, his value as a project for defense makes a 2-way contract a good day.
Man, that's so awesome for Jabari. He seems like such a good person. His dad told him there's nothing wrong with being a role player and he's embraced that being okay. \ Now, please be at least a 3-year deal so we have him for cheap the next 3 seasons and would have full bird rights after.
Hoping it’s a 4 year deal. I haven’t had more excitement for a second rounder than Trent, who I always wished we signed to a 4 year deal rather than a 3 year deal.
There aren’t many guys with his length in the g league, not without two way deals at least. He played in Spain which is a level above the g league both basketball wise and financially. I read he’s being recruited by some pretty big European clubs but his focus is on the summer league, so I’m guessing he’s trying to get back in the NBA.
Hes only been playing basketball since he was a jr in high school, so his age isn’t really indicative of anything.
Hell yes! I was just saying a few days ago we should lock this kid up on the cheap now....4 years would be great or as hoopsjock said 3 and bird rights. ..I just feel this kid is a keeper and is going to be something special. He's got that humble Wes Mathews chip on his shoulder from dropping down or out of the draft that he'll prove them all wrong with his game on the floor. We can get a two way contract backup center .
