    Lol. Stupid. I get it. Does it really matter whether #15 is given to Dame’s dumpster dive or NO’s dumpster dive?

    Blevins isn't a dumpster dive. Things that are in the dumpster were, at one time, useful. They had value. Blevins never had value. He was never useful.

    those guys could at least compete in the g league and were drafted. This dude has no business sniffing the NBA and literally no other team in the league would ever sign him (well except maybe Morey)

    If it helps keep Dame happy, I would call that adding significant value.

    Looks like Dame didn't see, that it could be his fault he was defending Stotts. He may not see, that he is hurting team's chances valuing friendship with CJ higher than bringing all star (maybe). And now this. And then he goes out and talks about improvement. Whatever. It just doesn't look good.

    both the other two way contract guys we brought in will play before him...he's a practice body...if we signed 15 spots he'd be 18th on the depth chart...lot of hoopla about a practice body really...we've got a lot more depth this season than in the past

    It is simply opposite of professional move, however you wanna explain it. After all this drama Dame made this summer, it is just comedy.

    he's a G league player....nobody will notice him all season just like Luis Montero....that's not comedy...it's family to Dame and Dame didn't cause the drama...the internet did..professional only means you get paid to do a job...it doesn't mean you're great.

    this dude has no business even making the G League-- being a practice body is hardly useful when asst coaches are better than him.

    it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things but i hate the opportunity cost. that spot coulda gone to a youngin who is really deserving who could become a rotational player with seasoning. not likely but it could happen-- while we KNOW it won't with blevins. it's a wasted asset when we have very few to begin with.... and kinda shameless. if he's the difference between keeping and losing Dame, then Dame isn't who i thought he was.

    we disagree...I think the negative spin about the kid has little foundation honestly as he's barely sniffed an NBA game...he's a G league player in my view but whatever...I won't be watching many G league games...I don't have any problem with Dame and his cousin being teammates on this level at all.

    he was the third best player on his team at Montana State as a senior after flaming out his first two years at Southern Miss University. He shot 28% from the college three at age 22 in a conference with 0 NBA players. his advanced metrics are ghastly. I genuinely think @BonesJones might give this guy a run for his money in a pickup game.

    he's not an NBA prospect. I doubt he's even a Euro/China/Australia prospect.

    here are his GLeague stats btw

    it's not pretty. 16th leading scorer on his team among 16 players who played there. come on.

    Only thing I know is he protected the ball in the small sample size I saw him play and he didn't play ISO ball...he's also never been coached by this crew and whatever he did in college doesn't need to define him...you might be right and know more about his game and flaws....I just don't think he'll sniff the court other than the G league and he may very well flame out of that ..doesn't affect our team to me..I promise you he'd play in China....that's not a deep talent pool
