Well if he is in the NBA and was a first round pick after being a 4 year starter at a top 5 school I'd expect him to be little better than what he is and has been.

With all due respect, youexpect too much.

You mean the exact same numbers Donovan shot his first month? Give the kid a little time ****.

TBH, Mitchell never shot below 40%. And the so-called "kid" is already 23 yr old. He's supposed to be the more "NBA ready" player amongst this rookie class.

Of course. That said he isn't near good as everyone hoped.

Why mention 'everyone'? I had no illusions as to what I hoped he would be.

To me personally, the best I think he can be is 9th/10th rotational piece who can hit a shot and will give you some grit. Nothing more.

Against 18-22 year olds who are much smaller and slower than nba athletes, your point is what?

My point is he's been playing high level basketball for 5 years. It's not like he's going change much. He's too slow and short to play much. His play even at Duke was a guy who played hard a bit dirty, problem is in the NBA he isn't big enough to bully anyone.

Then what's the point of bringing in a 100 guys to workout for the draft. Lindsey really thought he was a good player that could help the team this year. Obviously he's not good enough to do so.

His first month he was 33/28, so you are wring

LOL who cares about Grayson? Our 10th man isn't the issue

10th, 15th

I doubt anyone thought he'd be a 6th man this year for sure. That said, when he comes in I have zero hope/faith in his game.

Yeah, people cant adjust to the speed of the game. You're probably right

 

[JazzyFresh]

Please read through other rookies and see how MOST are going through the same struggles. This is not rocket science. Sure there are the few who exceed expectations, but a rookie struggling is nothing new.

Greyson is slow. He isn't quick. He wont ever adjust to game speed. Put Allen against any starting point in the NBA and he's toast. He's to short to play the 2 guard so he's going to have to play a majority of his minutes at the point.
