Vital, who spent his college career at UConn, averaging 16.4 PPG, 6.3 RPG, and 2.5 SPG in 31 games (32.2 MPG) as a senior in 2019/20. He went undrafted last month, and now looks like a strong candidate to end up with the Memphis Hustle, the Grizzlies’ G League affiliate. The same is true of Smith, who had just signed with the Grizzlies on Tuesday.
It’s not uncommon to see players being released a day or two after they’re signed at this time of year. Signing a player to an Exhibit 10 contract and then cutting him allows an NBA team to secure the player’s G League affiliate rights if they don’t already belong to another NBAGL club, or to line up a $50K bonus for returning-rights players.
For me the contract is all that matters. I know its much different for him, but I was a doubter.Grizzlies signed someone yesterday and then waived them today. Kinda weird. This may not be a permanent thing, so don't get your hopes up too high for him.
Beverley is absolutely who he needs to pattern his game on. He needs to be a total bulldog in your face guard defensively, to the point he pisses people off and then knock down threes on the other end.The athletic gave him a pat Beverly comp.
That’s the high end.
But there’s a roll for him on the right team.
But it’s more like when you have a ball handle like Lebron on Ben Simmons or even harden I guess who are so ball dominant in a non traditional pg role
but that's what makes pro athletes special....they have it all...there are a LOT of guys in FB & BB that would be pros if they were only x inches taller, or y seconds fasterIt’s too bad he’s not like 2 or 3 inches taller, because man he’s got a lot of nice traits for the NBA.
