A big issue for Gradey is the absolute lack of handle. If he doesn’t have space for a spot up, he can’t do anything. He also loves to loft a pass through dangerous areas.
He’s going to take a lot of nurturing. If we weren’t so thin, he’d be with the 905 right now. Wouldn’t mind giving JFL a run if we can.
More like Grody Dick
As far as I can tell, the dude’s been a shooter all his basketball career so far, he’ll figure it out.
Let’s maybe focus on the positives like his ability to contribute in other ways
Cason woo boy
He’s 19 and the entire roster is flawed. Relax.
I think he’ll be fine by end of the year
He’s been absolutely horrible, people treating him kid gloves on
Dick played 188 minutes in the NBA, he is a 19 years old rookie and is still adjusting to the speed of the NBA. And yet unhappy, pessimistic people are already complaining about his performance. I feel sorry for you
Give Dick a chance before declaring him a bust
saying he’s been bad so far does not equate to calling him a bust. y’all need to grow up, not everything is so black and white to where if you’re not calling someone the GOAT it means you’re saying they should be playing in China lol
needs time in the 905
You’re 19 years old, straight outta’ Kansas. You’ve been a professional NBA player for 3 hours. Why are you not Duncan Robinson yet?
Good shooters come here to die. His form is still good, so theres that
He needs to go to the G-league and put up monster shooting numbers there and get comfortable with 3 point shooting
He’s been rushing his shots a lot - I think once he adjusts to the pace of the game and becomes a bit stronger, this will improve by a lot.
yep.
the biggest thing rookies struggle with is the speed of the NBA compared to NCAA. everything moves faster and there is always an adjustment period except for the super elite lottery picks.
shooters are all about rhythm and if your rushing or slow to your spot, your mechanics alone won’t save you.
give him more time in the 905 to work on in game rhythm and he’ll be fine.
Guys, he’s only 19…and it’s 12 games into his first season, he will be fine, relax
It’s going to take a few years not a few games for MOST players to develop into high-level players in the NBA…it’s a major leap from college to the NBA where you go from playing against teenagers who couldn’t sniff the end of the bench on a G-League team, to playing against grown men who are the best in the world at this game…very few players come in and are good right away, like anything it takes time, it’s a process…
Step back from your keyboards and relax…he will be fine, he’s going to have some rough games, and he’s going to have some really good games where we say “oh, okay! I see the talent and what he can develop into” but you gotta be patient
Imagine walking into you’re first real job and 12 days in management is like “We’re concerned about you, you don’t know everything already and you’re not one of our best employees” lol it wouldn’t happen because they understand there’s a learning curve and it takes time…basketball is no different
He’s played legitimate mins against veterans and starters. All he does right now is cut, shoot the three, and rebound. I think he’s doing pretty well.
He will make a surge… right?
