If Jalen were to come off the bench, would he be our 6th man?

Woodpecked the Christopher.

 

If you go back in history, all the 6th man guards have good handles/dribbling skills. Or attack the basket at will.

Jalen has none of these things.

 

That is his problem.....he is not a good enough starter and might not be that great as a 7th man.

 

Should he be, or would he be? Those are 2 VERY different questions.

Should he be 6th man? No, he's terrible and you have better players currently coming off the bench.

Would he be 6th man? Yeah, probably based solely on his draft position.....he would have been banished to the bench LONG ago if not for his draft position bailing him out.

 

Sixth Man usually comes in, scores, gets buckets. Kinda like Cam.
Think Lou Williams, Jamal Crawford, our own Eric Gordon

He can’t shoot? He’s gotten worse by the year.

Spoiler

If his name was Jerry Samuels and removed draft position, he wouldn’t be playing.

 

Tari Eason would be our sixth mans

 

So the name is then Jermaine Samuels.

 

Does Tari Eason exist?

 

Not a sixth man just like he said.

Cam is already filling that role off the bench.

Jalen isnt really a rotation player on most nights. We can do better.

 

He can be our Minute Man. Throw him in a few minutes when we have a good lead to give starters a rest.
