I think it hit the shot clock too
His defense is embarrassing. I've seen him quit on the defensive side for years.
I think it hit the shot clock too
I remember that year he was dead last for Point Guards on contesting shots. The dude was an embarrassment that year. I’m starting to feel that scoring is becoming the new triple double. Like guys are chucking up 12 threes a game and scoring 26 points and it’s like yeah but he shot 3-12 from three and plays zero defense. There’s almost zero two-way players in todays game. Giannis, Embiid, and ?
Thats why I want DJ to pattern his game off of Gary Peyton
Is Tre Jones better than Primo?
Jimmy Butler.
The real concern is having to ask if a second round pick from the season before a lottery pick, with basically an entire season of development under his belt. Not like we're on game 7 or something.
Right now? Yes.
Primo still has the higher ceiling, imo.
His court vision and decision making is flat out atrocious right now. Re-watching the game now and he had 3 turnovers in the first like 4 min. He drives into traffic then expects to dump it off to someone else with hands everywhere. And the others were simply dumb, forced passes. Sooo much room for improvement from this kid.
This and ball security is the biggest concern I have with him, but some of the guys here attribute to his youth and are confident that he will correct it eventually.
RW was one of the most dangerous players in the open court. He had the ball on the right side, and CHOSE to dribble into traffic on the left side and put up that contested 3. He could have had a near automatic layup, dunk, or and1 on the right side, with time left on the clock.
It's only a matter of time until he is comfortable with his new landing and starts hitting three's consistently. His landing looks definitely different since summer league.

^ great now start doing it when it matters.
Cut down on the turnovers
Kid is gonna be OK
Wonder if he can grow into a PF
His instinctive feel for the game is something you can't teach.
He just needs to tighten everything up and his ceiling is way up there.
Your patience overwhelms.
No way on the PF spot, why would you even want him at that position? He will be legit at the 1, 2, and 3 position. We don't need another undersized player playing the PF.
He'll not be legit at the 1. His passing is extremely turnover prone and he can't break down a defense on dribble drives.
He's a 2 or a 3. Most likely a really good 3 and D guy.
The word “grow” I guess should have been bolded
50 games played in the NBA, almost 1000 minutes, plus 20 something g-league games - he's played a full season's worth of games and minutes and more than most of us would have thought early on.
He's been inefficient, which is to be expected for such a young player, especially after tweaking his shot mechanics, but overall there's no question he looks like he belongs. His defense has been a pleasant surprise. By the end of the season he was the best perimeter defended on the team. Not worried about his passing and turnovers, he's learning and adapting to playing against elite athletes.
Overall I think his season has been a success and hopefully he keeps working and improving. It's notable they tried playing him on the ball earlier in the season and way more off the ball as his role and minutes increased, it'll be interesting how they plan to use him next season.
Giving him the most exposure possible is/was great for his developmentHopefully a lot of growth takes place this year…..we need bigs in the draft ( no wings )
We actually also need wings.Giving him the most exposure possible is/was great for his development
A question for the Primo growth plate watchers. When we drafted him he was 6'4" without shoes. Is that right? And now people think he has grown to...?
6'9"
Sincerely,
The Church of the Open Growth plates.
Once this kid packs in 20lbs of muscle, he is going to be a beast. Already his confidence level is high, never gets rattled and lives for the moment. I don’t worry about those TO’s. The way I see it, Pop is making him experiment out there, just feeling the game. Vassell is my starting 2. I still prefer KD to slide at 3, and get a proper size 4. Primo stays at backup 3 for now. Lonnie I’d be happy to sign him back at backup 2.
Tre, J-Rich, Zollins, Landale, KBD, even Weiskamp. I mean I like our roster. It would be hard decision what to do with our 4 picks.
Oh man he will probably settle at 6’6 when all said and done. He could be 6’10 for all I care. Meaningless if he is just another role player. Let’s hope he turns into a solid player versus “open growth plates”
