it looks okey, tbh i was expecting more for the center position, hoping that willie can improv his stats
Jokic gonna average 50 on us just like booker did last season
Geaux Pels
Why not sign Davis Bertans
His game is very similar to Dwight Howard. Off bench
5. Missi 4.Theis 3. Karlo 2.Herb 1.Jose
Starters
5. Jemisom 4.Ingram 3/1. Zion 2. Murphy 1. Murray
We beat everybody😁🤟🏽💪🏾
They should have brought him up from the Squadron last season when they had the opportunity.
WWW PICKUP
He made AD work in a Lakers-Grizzlies matchup last season
Jake said he’s the 3rd 2 way player? Other than J. Cain, who is the other?
I think with having 3 centers with not much experience you will need a Matt Ryan. You’re gone to need as much 3 point shooting as you can get that’s how you get away with not being totally dominant down low with bigs. This team they have built kinda reminds me of the beginning of the Warriors dynasty except they have a lot more talent than the Warriors did. They need just put it all together this yr no more blowing leads. Zion so dominant down low your center doesn’t need to be but we do need to get better at controlling rebounds on both sides
Another project big, nothing more.
The Sun's get Tyrus & we get Jemison?? Wweee.. ?? It feels like another Pelicans off-season to me?? How am I wrong Pelican fans??
Karlo/Theis should be the starter. We need someone who can defend the pick and roll and at the same time can space the floor for Zion.
How do you get nba game experience? By allowing them to play.
"Center By Committee" is not a bad thing when you have a coach that understands strengths and weaknesses and plays situational basketball. G🏀 Pels!
Trey is solid. He plays hard and has the body to guard bigger bodies. We don’t need a lot of offense from a C. We need a defender, rim protector, rebounder
I think that Z Williams going to take more 3 this Season
Trey can be a breakthrough player for us. He played pretty well for Memphis last season.
Great sign now we. Just need to sign and keep B.I
They had an offensive type of center in JV who was a durable walking double/double, but he was not able to defend on the perimeter so they let him walk. Apparently, the Pels needs more of an athletic rim protector than an offensive center. Well, Trey Jemison fits that profile!
The team isn’t going to be reliant on the bench bringing the energy b/c DJM was brought here specifically b/c he’s a DAWG. He told us that he has high expectations as a leader and he’s going to hold people accountable and he wants them to do the same. A team with that mentality won’t need a reason to turn up, it’s just who they are.
Good move. I'm a little disappointed we didn't consider Tyus Jones as a back up PG. Suns signed him for 3 mil for 1 year. That should have been doable.
I was surprised Trey was waived, I think really good fit for us. Pulling for him to earn a regular contract.
