He played 15 games in the NBA before the Raptors quickly realized he was nowhere near NBA level. In those 15 NBA games:
3.9/1.5/1.0 on 27% FG & 24% 3P
Now that he’s in the G-League, it’s not any better. In 3 G-League games:
15/2.7/1.0 on 27% FG & 28% 3P
I’m not one to hate on rookies early in their career, but these are unacceptable stats for a lottery pick. These stats also don’t reflect how big of a net negative he is on defense, effectively making him unplayable in any professional basketball setting
I personally think no one on this sub has heard his name, because D*ck is a banned word for post titles. I had to resubmit this post 6 different times wondering why it wasn’t allowed
Not sure why you’re such a dick hater

these “person does not get enough hate” posts are ridiculous
Crowning a “worst” pick 20 games into the season is absolutely ridiculous
He’s fine… he’s just missing his shots.
He has great movement on the court and seems like a high IQ player. He’s gonna be a good player once his shots start falling.
“I’m not one to hate on rookies early in their career”
And then proceeds to do so. Ujiri has a pretty good drafting record other then his reach of bruno. Gradey was not a reach, give it time.
Thought I read they worked on tweaking his shot and clearly that hasn’t gone well. Regardless, way too early.
If you got hate in your heart let it out.
I’d take him. Fits a need for us.
He’s 100% on free throws though. so basically a top 5 rookie
How are we as basketball enjoyers hating on non-top 3 pick rookies? Hating on rookies in general is just sad but outside of the top 10? That’s just weird.
Y’all hate watch and y’all think everybody else should too. That’s the point of these posts.
Why are you expecting mid-1st Round picks who are 19-20 years old to be NBA-ready?
You draft them for what you expect they will become, not for Year 1 production.
Y’all haven’t seen JHS stink it up on the Lakers I see
Apparently you ARE one to hate on rookies early in their career
