I can’t believe how fast he’s adapting to the NBA game. He’s scoring efficiently from all 3 levels already. I was hyped for him coming in, but even at his age it takes time to adapt to the level, speed, and talent of NBA basketball.

Gassed, then double-teamed. There were so many open threes because of him, but well, our players couldn’t shoot lol.

they also doubled him a lot in the 4th, not much he could do.

he def didnt, he tends not to force much either so if he doesn’t like what he sees matchup wise he passes out quick

probably gassed

He was pretty gassed. He was holding his knees standing up lol

Amen was on him and they were trying to go at Reed Shepherd

He was playing with such tenacity in the 3rd he was definitely gassed.

He kinda had a rough game, and yet still put up ²⁵⁄₁₀

He’s washed. He needs to retire. It’s downhill from now on for this old man.

the rockets had 6 guys in double figures it’s not an indictment that the whole team can execute

he’s putting up good individual numbers but interestingly, the Warriors have a +19 better net rating without Yax on the court

Warriors with Yax on: +3.4

Warriors with Yax off: +22.7

and the combo with Curry pushes this even more

Steph/Yax on: +4.9

Steph on, Yax off: +29.1

Darius Acuff exists lil bro

According to KD, he already is.

he’s 24. He’s older than Wemby(22) and Flagg (19)

The 11 to 14 jordan retros I think really aged well for it’s basketball perfomance and technology. Especially the 11s and 13s.

from what I read, at 27 he can already sign a max contract

Hes still prob gonna make 200+ million dollars in his career don’t need to cry for him too much.

Yes

It’s a small sample size but I would confidently say that he’s a top 50 player in the league. I think there is too much talent in the NBA to put him top 30 though.

He started playing basketball his senior year of HS. Then worked in a factory with his mom who saw his talent helped him get into a JC (two years), then 3 (years at a UV), then Michigan paid him 5 mil to transfer and lead them to a chip. So 24 but has only played organized basketball for 5 years.

Yes he went for 6 years. 3 years JuCo, 2 years at UAB, and 1 year at Michigan.

The limits for JuCo players aren’t the same as traditional limits plus you got an extra pandemic year too.

The reason he started at JuCo was because his grades were so bad in high school, he was basically academically ineligible until his senior year which by that time was too late for the traditional path.

the fact that a rookie was getting blitzed and face guarded in the 4th by one of the best teams in the league is insane….

YAXEL ROTY

It’s like we were down our first and second point guards.
