Royce should be called “Roller”, after the luxury car. When Crowder was in Dallas they called him The Beast.
Love Cobra Kai.
Jazz select Grayson Allen at 21

I think a PG who can shoot like Okobo can would give the Jazz a higher ceiling. I'm just trying to look at things from the Jazz's perspective. They seem pretty comfortable with the team they have and may not believe they have the space to develop Okobo. Just guessing really. They may see Allen and Mitchell as potentially running a two-guard front down the line.
Pretty sure we don't know what he shot, and more importantly, I'm certain he would be playing a totally different role (one we need more help with [as I don't see any promising stretch 4s on the free agent or trade market that can switch AND protect the rim]).
Yes I did jump to some conclusions there. I retract the starting bit, as it is possible to get 30+ mpg from the bench.
Please enlighten me with your narrative, because clearly I am off on how you think Handsy will do this his rookie year.
I did some math to see what it would take to have those numbers and break DM's rookie 3pt makes record.
He will have to shoot 459 threes to make 188 at a 41% clip. If he plays all 82, that would be 5.59 3pt shots per game. Not unheard of, DM shot 7 per game.
If Grayson takes 50% of his shots from 3, he would have to shoot 67% from 2 in order to have a 54% overall percentage.
He would be taking 11.19 shots per game. He would have to take .73 free throws per game.
He would have 6.88 ppg on 3's, 7.51 ppg on 2's, and .62 ppg from free throws, to get to the 15ppg average.
I would love it if he had this type of year. I'm skeptical though.
I post all this crap, to show I didn't jump to conclusions, they are realistic and based on something called math. There was not much in the way of jumping, but more in the way of calculating.
You threw out some numbers, to get there, Grayson will have to play some serious minutes, and shoot quite a bit, and play every game.

Every team passed on him, are you smarter then every team? Plus, he’s not a need Allen has more position versatility and better, more skilled.
I knew nothing about him, right after we drafted him I read up on him and got excited as hell he seems exactly what we need and we trade him for ****ing money. Just so disappointed he isn’t coming here and wondering how he didn’t go in the first round. These days it seems like they treat the 2end round as if there is no talent to be had that late.

We traded the pick, Houston picked him not us.
No, but I think the premise is that the Jazz had Allen as #3 on their board if they stay at #21. There's simply no way that Allen was #3 on their Big Board after Luca Doncic and Miles Bridges.
Glue-guys usually don't have the prettiest games, but I also mostly don't know what I'm talking about. He didn't jump off the screen from what I've watched, but I am simply looking for a guy that can tick off a collection of boxes that not many do (switch through four positions defensively, hit open 3s, block shots, not get murdered down low, have a decent feel for the game).
