He played good defense that one time.So we failed to use any of our assets to address our most glaring need during the off-season, so we'll instead bring back a player that has failed to produce anything of merit in his entire career, including being released by what may be the worst team in the league this year.
Sounds great! Sign him up!
I heard he's the only player in the league who can shut down Harden.
He shot 33% this year in summer league on roughly 4 attempts per, and his stroke looked much better than last year (still needs improvement, but you can tell he has worked a lot this offseason to improve).I don't think he really can...and if I'm an opposing team I am dying for the Jazz to try to beat me with Trent Forrest. Whether he's shooting wide open 3's or getting into the paint and trying to get his floater/lob game going that is a huge win for the opponent. To me, Forrest is in a tough situation because his offensive game is only passable when he has the ball, but he is also not good enough with the ball to warrant the ball on this team.
If he was shooting low 30's I could see it....but banking on him being a low 30's shooter is arguably a bigger leap than banking on Oni being a high 30's shooter. I just don't believe in his shot. Forrest was 25% in college and 26% as a pro (NBA, Summer League, Preseason).
If he is left open, I would not be surprised to see him make 3s at or around 33% based on what I saw this summer.
I don't think Oni belongs in the NBA.
