Personal favorite Deng Adel has been pretty up and down this season. I think his stick has probably dropped.

Not even rated as a draft prospect for this year at the moment.

Jonah Bolden on the other hand looks like a 1st rounder in the making

Not considered to be near it at this stage, projecting as a mid-to-late second rounder at best.

IMO both should stay where they are for another season.

A really good synopsis of why Joe Ingles is so loved by the Jazz faithful.

Thon started today. Not sure his impact is that great, but the fact that he's getting starts already indicates the Bucks see him as a serious player moving forward.

12 pts, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks. Good outing. Junk time minutes at the end but he got a couple of good blocks on Gobert early.

Dante had his best game tonight. 11 points (would've been 14 but they waved off one of his threes), 3 assists, a rebound and a steal in 22 minutes.

The numbers don't look all that impressive but believe me when I say he's the one who got the Jazz back in the game late in the 1Q and early 2Q. Really impressive signs.

About due for a couple of games off if the rest of this season is anything to go by

At least Mack isn't ahead of him anymore.

At least Mack isn't ahead of him anymore.

I reckon that was only ever temporary.

A good breakdown of Dante Exum's game against the Hornets.

Most likely going to be traded now, thank god.

 

[my name was taken]

Would surely be traded regardless. Too much value not playing when you sit 4th in conference and no real sign of exum being a consistent contributer.

 

[larrikin]

Most likely going to be traded now, thank god.

Exum or Mack?

 

[hbk_aus]

Exum or Mack?

Mack i would say

 

[Roo Beauty]

Exum or Mack?

Yeah Mack. Cavs are interested, if not we'll provably move him for a second rounder.

Pretty good indepth article on Thon!

Just came on here to post that - really good read. Sounds quite promising - hard not to salivate at the thought of a Boomers side with Maker, Simmons, Exum, Mills, Delly and whoever else comes along next.

Thon starting again today for Jabari

Thon starting again today for Jabari

Yep, and he played all of 3 minutes before coming off.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Yep, and he played all of 3 minutes before coming off.

Had a nice little run in the third and still in to start the last.

 

[Damon_3388]

Thon started today. Not sure his impact is that great, but the fact that he's getting starts already indicates the Bucks see him as a serious player moving forward.

Dang starting to come good recently. Was suspended the other day for 1 game but he's starting to build some moment and look for his shot.

Re: J Bolden. I expect him to climb the boards actually. I wasn't even projected top 100 a short time ago so he's already made a big jump and getting some attention.
