I tuned in to the game late in the second just in time for Branham to miss a wide open 3 by like four feet. Amazing, really.
Is terrible. We’ve seen stats showing he’s one of, if not the, worst defenders in the league. He’s not an elite shooter or playmaker. As I type this he just chucked up a three and didn’t even hit rim. There’s literally nothing he does at a marginal level, let alone average. He needlessly sucks up minutes from a more deserving Blake. He’s like the product of a mad-scientist wanting to make an even worse version of Bryn Forbes (e.g., Forbes minus the shooting). And he looks like a supreme got with that stupid ing headband.

I think spending the 3-4 weeks in the G League would do Branham a lot of good. Both in terms of putting him against some compe ion he can be better than, but also to send a message that he's about to find himself out of the league.
graham should have his rotation spot
a) he's better
b) he's the one who could have actually had trade value as a vet who can play, provide shooting, and has a quasi-expiring deal
Branham stock at the beginning of the season
Branham stock at the almost halfway point
Wesley stock to begin the season
Wesley stock now
Hopefully we can include him in a trade as an "asset" to some team that can sell to their fan base that there's something they can develop before he totally blows that narrative.
He's great if you want to tank without telling the team to tank.
Is the DUI during summer or w/e the only reason Graham isn't playing? He's WAY better than Malaki. It's not even close.
Also, Wesley is more raw somehow than even Branham, but his defensive upside is immense. He shows 1000% hustle on every possession.
As opposed to Branham who has been the WORST defender in the NBA (no hyperbole) since the season began
Wesley's defense is nice, but offensively, he went from being out of control and mistake prone to just being completely risk averse and not really doing anything
That's called progress
Branham is not an NBA level player right now, much less one who should be in a teams active rotation. Probably the most disappointing player this season honestly
Didn’t this got go to Spain during the offseason to work out with other NBA players? WTF did he do over there, eat paella and suck ?
Branham, vassell included in a deal for anyone tbh
both are complete garbage
what did he do, suck shum cack?
Just got his pushed in by some dude name Quetta after giving up an easy layup to Great White American Hope Payton Prichard
Been saying it.. this is James Anderson from back in the day. Big 12 Player of the Year outta I think OKS. Said it before cut this fool.... PERO HOY!!!!!!!! Champenny too, that's a scrub.
He’s proven to be a dime a dozen player this season. I see nothing that shows his defense will improve. Defense makes him valuable. I still think he’s a back of the rotation player, but nothing worth building on. He looks lazy on defense despite being in his second year.
Yeah. Was really shocked to hear from our play by play guy to say in the 3rd quarter that Branham was having a "really good game."
Like are you watching the same game? Dudes a no defense chucker and ball hog for someone that doesn't shoot that well.
And they were reportedly all out of paella.
It's disappointing that he has regressed in his second year. It does happen from time to time, especially with guards. But it's not like the Spurs brought someone in to block his playing time. Just keep in mind, sometimes it takes some time. Lowry for example, didn't break 10pg until his 4th of 5 year. He was traded multiple times until things clicked. I am never a fan of giving up young guards this early. But my eye test shows that he just doesn't have the tools. I'm not sure what his strength is. Perhaps he is being used poorly. I don't know.
yeah players in the late lottery tend to bust, sometimes it's a primo, but most often it's their not good enough and that's not unusual, or a sign of poor drafting. I t is what it is,
