BenMac had a big game against his former team (Lakers).
28 points but his team got blown out.
-
@wissox said in Jayhawks in the pros:
Quentin getting some minutes with the Knicks but they’re ugly minutes. After a debut with 27 points, he’s really struggling to score, and nearly every basket he’s made has been outside the arc. Thinking his time is short in the Garden. Rather see them giving Selden minutes.
Wonder why Q is getting minutes over Wayne. He had at least had one good statistical year, what with Memphis awhile back?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Well I think Q is a decent player. He took his team with others of course to the final 4 last year. Wayne and him would be about even I’d guess. Not totally sure.
-
Embiid 31 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists in 30 minutes. Guy’s unreal
-
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Wow Josh been having himself a game against the Bucks. 24 points, 5 boards, 5 3’s made.
-
It was pointed out in the game chat that Devonte went off in the 2nd half. Ended up with 28 points and 6 assists but couldn’t beat the Suns.
-
Big game in Charlotte for Oubre who makes 9 threes and scores 32 over JJackson and Detroit who scored 15. Curry is in a shooting slump and Wigs is leading the team in scoring with only 12 in the 3rd. Embiid scores 31, but what else is new?
-
Kelly hit eight of his nine threes in the fourth quarter, part of a Hornets team record of 24 treys.
Wiggins ended up with a team high of 17 in a Golden State loss to Dallas, on the night they retired Dirk Nowitzki’s number.
As for Embiid, that’s five straight games with 30 or better.
-
Wiggins led a Curryless Warriors over a cold shooting DG tonight with 21 points. Seems like he’s the 2nd scoring option on that team.
-
Doke played 16 minutes, 2 points, missed 1 FT (surprise!) 3 boards and a block. His opponent Svi didn’t play but 2 scoreless minutes. That was his first action in a while, wonder if he was out for covid? Joel did Joel things. He has 6 30+ point games in a row.
-
Wow, Marcus Morris with a huge effort in a loss today with 29 points and 8 boards. Made 4 of 6 3’s.
-
Joel keeps chugging along, another 30 point effort. 13-13 FT’s. I don’t know enough about all the big guys in the league but he’s got to be one of the better FT shooters out there among them. Oubre might be out hopefully just Covid, but he didn’t play. Grimes had a nice game with 7 points and 6 assists.

jO jO is an Animal. Just needs someone else to help a he can’t do it by himself
-
Joel with another 3o point game, 8 in a row I believe. Wonder if his 7 TO’s however spelled doom against the Oubreless Hornets?
-
Doke finally got healed enough to play and after starting one game now is in covid protocols. He just can’t get a break.
-

Very true and the breaks he is getting right now sure isn’t helping him
-
BMac starting in Portland. 18 points tonight. Led his team. DGraham had some good numbers except for his shooting which has really been off lately. 7 boards and 6 assists. Marcus Morris scored 12 in the same games. Wiggins led his team but only 16 in a blowout loss to the Bucks. Since Klay came back his numbers have dropped a bit.
-
@wissox I played BMAC and Devonte in my Draft Kings lineups last night. Didn’t win but they both exceeded expectations last night. I went with Devonte because he had a poor game his last game, and I knew he would right the ship, and he did.
-
Wiggins scores 21 as the Warriors open up a can of whup-ass on the Bulls in a 42-point road win.
Dubs break out of their slump, aided by Chicago playing without an injured Zach Lavine. Wigs was the game’s leading scorer until they sat him early and emptied the bench.
-
@nwhawkfan heard curry hurt his hand?
-
Suddenly the bulls got injury woes. Nets destroyed them the other night too. Some guy got hurt in beginning of that one named Green and they’re missing him
-
Even Dotson played!
-
Update from yesterday, BMac 10 points, Svi, 7 minutes, zero, Grimes, 8 points, Devonte 10 pts, 4 assts, Joel, 32, and 12, but his 30 point game streak ended the previous night, MMorris, 15, 6, 5. Busy night

Short story Garrett waived, is having season ending surgery on wrist, and will be staying with the heat through rehab.

Dotson waived
The Bulls have released guard Devon Dotson, the team announced today (via Twitter). Dotson had been on a two-way contract with the club.
An undrafted free agent out of Kansas, Dotson spent his rookie season in 2020/21 on a two-way deal with the Bulls, then signed a new contract for the ’21/22 campaign. Across two seasons in Chicago, the 22-year-old averaged 2.4 PPG and 1.0 APG in 22 NBA games (6.1 MPG). He played a larger role in the G League, especially this season, when he averaged 20.1 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 6.3 APG, and 2.2 SPG in 10 contests (36.9 MPG) for the Windy City Bulls.
Dotson will clear waivers on Wednesday, assuming he goes unclaimed, and will be free to sign with any team at that time.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Interesting take on the Dotson waiving:

Oubre hasn’t played as he’s in Covid protocols.

Selden update Wayne Selden Signing With Turkish Team January 18th 2022 at 2:08pm CST by Alex Kirschenbaum Shooting guard Wayne Selden is signing with Turkish club Afyon Belediye of the Basketball Super League, per Turkish paper Afyon Haber.
After going undrafted out of Kansas in 2016, Selden logged time with the Pelicans, Grizzlies, and Bulls, plus several G League clubs. The 27-year-old wing then suited up for Israeli Basketball Premier League club Ironi Nes Ziona during the 2020/21 season.
Selden inked a non-guaranteed camp deal with the Knicks ahead of training camp and stuck on the roster through the start of the regular season. However, he was waived earlier this month as part of the Knicks’ Denzel Valentine/Rajon Rondo trade. Selden appeared in just three games for New York this season.
The 6’4″ guard holds NBA career averages of 7.2 PPG, 2.0 RPG, and 1.5 APG with a shooting line of .415/.344/.718 across 127 contests, including 27 starts.

Joel with 50! Azubuike has played in 6 games and his stats show he hasn’t really changed. 80% FG percentage and 50% FT percentage!
-
Oubre back from Covid and scored 18. Nice return to action!
-
Not a good news in that Marcus G was released by the Heat, he had an injury and Heat released him.
I hope that another team will give him a chance.
-
Joel dropped 50 points in 27 minutes last night
Wow
-
Grimes news and notes
Quentin Grimes has earned more playing time even with several veterans returning to action recently, Steve Popper of Newsday writes. Grimes doesn’t put up big stats but Thibodeau has played Grimes a minimum of 17 minutes in all but one game this month. “Grimes has been playing great basketball,” Thibodeau said of the first-round rookie guard. “But it’s just step by step. You earn your minutes here. What you do in practice. You have to wait for your opportunity and when your opportunity comes, be ready to go.”
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I still cannot figure out why Selden did not get PT with NY

Wow
They was Talking about Jo JO last night and saying how Philly is wasting him , how they needed to get somebody to help him out, how Jo Jo talent going to waste saying he couldn’t do it by himself - - their right - - he Can’t , he needs someone to help him out
-
Joel only scored 40 tonight. BMac had a nice game with 4-7 3 pointers.
-
Dotson update, Part 2
Devon Dotson, who was waived by the Bulls last week in order to sign Malcolm Hill to a two-way deal, is expected to land with Chicago’s G League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls, according to veteran NBA reporter Marc Stein of Substack (via Twitter).
-
Hope that Dotson and Garrett can back on the NBA roster quickly.
-
Jo Jo scored 38 and I believe 12 rebounds in sixer’s win last night
-
Devonte had a nice game last night with 26 points and 6 assists. BMac did well also for the Blazers. 17 points with 5 3 pointers.

Who is Devonte with now ? wasn’t it New Orleans ? - -I can’t remember
-
Wow, the Hornets are scoring a bucket load of points tonight and Oubre has made 10 of 15 3’s for 39 points and counting. Still 4 minutes left, but he’s not in the game.

Mercy Kelly- - I’ll be honest here I didn’t think Kelly would do that well - - glad I’m wrong and proud of him
-
Most bench points in Hornets history for Oubre
-
