2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

Yeah. He's playing off ball more. He's a good playmaker but far too slow to be a PG. He mainly plays as a SG but also sees time as a SF, kind of like Grayson. It works for him and Cleveland.

I thought I missed on Ty Jerome, but he is working out well for the Cavaliers.

I think we all missed to an extent because he's not a PG and we didn't envision him elsewhere on the floor. He seems to be doing well for Cleveland in a weird sort of SF/PG role though. He's classified as a SG now but he's kind of position-less. He plays like a point forward like a Kyle Anderson or Nic Batum but he's only 6'5". It's nor like he's playing with big guards either as Garland and Mitchell are small. It's a testament to the system in Cleveland.

Minimally, I always thought Ty Jerome could play shooting guard at the NBA level if point guard didn't work out. However, he was much slower than anticipated, adapting to game speed with Phoenix. However, his high basketball IQ has helped him to make the transition. Jerome may have some height, but he has short arms for size. IMO, Gillespie has more upside at point guard if he ever gets an opportunity to play.

I am guessing he will. As much as I love Tyus, I don't think it is possible for us to keep him beyond this year unless he takes another minimum deal, which seems unlikely. So Gillespie could be in the regular point guard rotation next year.

This is one of the reasons I have pushed so hard for the Suns to sign him to a regular contract, even though he will become a restricted free agent after the season.
