tigeraddikt 1,627 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hope he gets a shot at real minutes. What a talented guy to be bottled up in the G League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abw0004 10,144 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Good for him. I really don’t understand why he hasn’t been given a better chance up until now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casatiger 514 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 If you look at his G League Stats it is consistently around 21 pts and 5 assists per game over 3 years with 3 different teams. Hope he gets a real opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyinsocal 831 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 No offense to anyone since Jared's departure, but my magic wand would have Jared starting for us. Right now. Clutch. Although Mr. Green is starting to win me over...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,875 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Is it his defense that’s the issue? Match up issues against bigger guards or something? It’s clearly not his offense, work ethic, or winning pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s clearly not his offense, work ethic, or winning pedigree. I think he's spent the vast majority of his time in the game as the ball dominant guard, and has had a certain freedom to pursue his own shot whenever. The defense is likely number 1 issue, but there's probably some offensive things they consider there as well Hard to be a 5'9-5'10 PG more than anything though. The game just is what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,841 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Harper is far more athletically at this point than this guy, but IT for example, that's someone who just got hunted on switches and even simple 1 on 1 looks ROUTINELY in the past few seasons. That disadvantage alone can really destroy one's defensive scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
