Great to see my man JT3 on NBA TV last night! He'll only get better, but did a fantastic job! Told me he'll be on tonight as well. #donthatetheplayaplayon

Is anyone else amazed at how many Hoyas under the JT3 era there are that are incapable of "getting theirs" in a basketball game on either level? I've been a little discouraged watching Hoyas not named Otto Porter at the next level lately. Hollis is getting minutes for the Clippers in Summer League but is doing nothing special. Same for Henry on the Nuggets got a DNP last game.

Same for Henry on the Nuggets got a DNP last game. Both Hollis and Henry had a few years with the Sixers--and both played some real minutes. Although some will question whether that team was really in the NBA ( ), I'm not sure we should have expected much more given their undrafted status. I think the problem is less with the development of NBA players than with the inability to recruit players for whom one could see an NBA future down the road. My big mystery recruit is Isaac Copeland, who looked to have all the tools. Much ink has been expended here on that, but I still have no idea what happened.

Hollis getting minutes, but not doing anything special??? LMAO youz guys kill me hahahaha...

Honestly, Hollis and Henry were both borderline NBA prospects. The fact that Hollis started 90 games and Henry 65 in the league is honestly not at all bad. CW and Austin weren't anywhere close to that and were MdC AA's.

Hollis Thompson has made $3.46 million at the age of 26. www.spotrac.com/nba/new-orleans-pelicans/hollis-thompson-10996/cash-earnings/Henry Sims $2 million at age 27. www.spotrac.com/nba/utah-jazz/henry-sims-11263/cash-earnings/They've done really well for themselves considering they were never highly rated and weren't drafted high. You have to consider both success for Georgetown basketball.

And ya'know, if they never play another game, they and the families will always know they were "NBA players." Hopefully that fact will also be on display somewhere on the Hilltop. Now manage that money, guys.

CW and Austin weren't anywhere close to that and were MdC AA's. The fact the are still battling in the SL shows they were very fortunate to be picked up by the tanking 76rs. We are very lucky to be able to claim them as succesful NBA players but at this point I'll take what I can get.

I wish that I had the stub, but I was fortunate to be at a Wiz-Sixers game where Hollis absolutely displayed NBA skills shooting threes and was not a liability on D. I remember thinking "why didn't we get him even more looks."

I've always loved his demeanor on the court and I've been impressed with how he's improved his game from year to year. I'm really hoping the long shot route pays off for him. He seems like a great guy that works at his craft and he really seems to be a team first player that, with some work, can improve the parts of his game that his team needs.

I think Peak is gonna stick with the Rockets. Once they bring in Carmelo they will have 3 big salaries so they are going to need some ultra cheap guys who can actually play and contribute.

Greg Monroe was also in the house yesterday. The games are played at both the Cox pavilion and the Thomas and Mack arena and Houston played at the Cox pavilion. I don't know if Greg was there to see LJ or other games.
Tas, if we weren't moving next week I would have been there!

When Wall and Beal signed their max deals, there were questions about whether they deserved the money. There’s no more complaining about the $128 million contract that Beal received a year ago. And the $80 million extension that Wall signed in 2013 looks like a bargain because the salary cap and player wages have risen dramatically since then. Porter figures to keep growing as well. His role and value are different. Don’t expect him to become a 23-point scorer, too. But he will sharpen his strengths — shooting, versatility and knack for doing little things that win games — and if he achieves his goal to get stronger, he’ll become a more dynamic glue player. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/wizards/keeping-wizards-core-together-even-at-luxury-tax-prices-leaves-their-window-open/2017/07/19/a29c67f6-6cb7-11e7-9c15-177740635e83_story.html?hpid=hp_regional-hp-cards_rhp-card-sports%3Ahomepage%2Fcard&utm_term=.3d55bf754871“He’s not about stats,” Brooks said. “He can score more and I get that and I appreciate it, but he’s willing to sacrifice his own game for the betterment of the team.” “I never look at Otto and judge him by the stat sheet,” Brooks said. “There’s so many little things that stats don’t show. He dives on the floor for a loose ball, he sets screens, he makes the extra pass to the corner, offensive rebounds. But most importantly, he’s just a great guy to be around. www.washingtonpost.com/news/wizards-insider/wp/2017/07/19/otto-porter-jr-is-now-a-max-contract-player-but-the-wizards-need-him-to-be-a-third-wheel/?utm_term=.e6a15bcef54b

Worst Free Agent Deals per ESPN: Jeff Green
"Out of the roughly 1,600 players since 2001 we can rate by adjusted plus-minus -- an accurate metric over a big sample -- Green ranks in the bottom 50 for his career. Among active players, he ranks in the bottom three. Let that sink in for a minute: Only two players in the NBA are estimated to have had worse on-court impact than Green. As one NBA front-office member told me, teams that acquire him have buyer's remorse quickly and end up trying to deal him to the next team that's sure to be disappointed."
Here's hoping he makes the most of this opportunity.
