Quin Snyder, Alex Jensen, Krysko and Nick Nurse have been GLeague head coaches.
Just looking at box scores Agbaji hasn't played great yet in the GLeague. That's not super promising. I think one thing the G League can tell you is who doesn't belong there, as in who is too talented to be stuck down there. It's not a good sign when NBA guys don't stand out.

The Stars got whupped last night. Ochai and Bolmaro looked bad as in awful. Our guards or wings couldn't throw it in the ocean. Potter led the team in scoring and rebounding. Based on these two games neither Ochai nor Bolmaro ought to be considered prospects. They put off a similar stinky vibe that Butler did last year in this venue.
I'm just curious since you follow the G league, can you think of a player to play bad in the G League, but then turn in to a good NBA player?

Not that I can think of. These two teams had played the night before so fatigue might have been to blame. The Stars starters got murdered last night. When your starting guards or wings shoot 3-19 it is hard to compete. One guy that didn't look particularly good when he got sent down was Raul Neto and he's had a pretty nice NBA career.

One reason I don’t like the g league for Ochai is he’s a three and D guy… or at least he’s supposed to be. In g league the pressure is to be different than that. I’m not encouraged by Ochais start obvi but not super discouraged. Dude is a worker and improved every year at Kansas… I think he figures it out but might be lower on the 3 and D scale than we want.
Yeah, I'm not really worried after two games, but at some point Agbaji should look like he doesn't belong there, in a good way.
From his limited NBA minutes, I think the biggest thing he can learn is our offense and defensive schemes. He just generally looked lost out there on the Jazz, but there are limitations to how much he can learn that down with the Stars.
I wouldn't expect him to score a million points, but it would be good to see him taking 5+ 3s a game and making a respectable amount. As far a defense I'll have to rely on those watching the game for how is doing.
The thing is Ochai didn't look bad in the few games he got decent minutes with us. In the gleague he is playing a role that likely won't be his role in the nba so other than staying in shape I'm not sure I see the benefit. As mentioned his primary role in the nba is going to be as a 3 and and cutter guy.
