Jamal Shead... doing a Test

Brison gresham. :male_detective:

this is my story, im running with it!

No offense… But if Galen can get into the G-League so can Shead… At the very least.

And I say that with a huge amount of respect for Galen.

Good. He needs the feedback too.

His biggest asset is that he doesn’t make mistakes and plays hard. I think he’d be a great bench guy for a contender.

I wouldn’t doubt Jamal like that, he’s constantly hits the 3 at 35% and he can make a roster

If he didn’t take so many last second shots this year, because nobody else took an open shot, his percentage would probably be a point or two higher as well…

I hope he does.

If Shead ended up with the Houston Rockets, he would be a positive influence on Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr.

What makes you think they need a good influence?

As far as I have heard the two you mentioned are good guys……not head cases….both work extremely hard.

Not according to John Wall :joy:

As Wall sees it, in the pursuit of higher draft capital and a relative absence of veterans, young players on the Rockets are developing bad habits that wouldn’t be tolerated elsewhere. Wall mentioned Green, Kevin Porter Jr., and KJ Martin as players he had spoken with.

“The (expletive) y’all getting away with over there, if you go to any other teams you’d be out of the league,” he said. “You wouldn’t play. I’m trying to explain it to them, because they think it’s sweet.”

“Don’t get used to this,” Wall said of his advice to Houston’s current younger players. “This is not how the NBA is. It’s a bad organization right now. They’ve got to fix some (expletive).”

But, to be fair, Jabari wasn’t mentioned.

I don’t put much stock in a bitter player’s assessment……

But there have obviously been other things to suggest issues with KPJ, but it seems as though he is maturing.

We’ll see soon.

With Shead and mark testing waters, questions about Ramon transferring. We might need to start contacting some guards. Need scorers!

While I heavily doubt either leave, if (god forbid) they both did next year will have a ton of growing pains

CKS always encourages borderline guys like Jamal to get NBA feedback. I would be surprised if he leaves but if he does I hope he succeeds in the NBA. Despite being undersized I feel like if he develops his 3 point shot then he has a decent chance of eventually making an NBA roster.

That will definitely help recruit top talent

Bol to Shead and Mark. Hope they receive some positive feedback.

It’s funny because that’s how we ended up getting Quentin Grimes.

iirc - he was considering entering the NBA Draft or Transferring (I forget which). His intention was to return another season with the Kansas Jayhawks, but his Coach had already recruited someone else to take his spot.

He had to rush on deciding where to transfer, and ultimately decided on coming back home, hence his stint with the Coogs.

I hope Tramon goes high in the second round!!! smile:

Let’s be honest here Tramon might be holding back someone better that could come here. I mean look at what Taze Moore brought when he was out.
